NRL: With Jason Taumalolo still having three years remaining on his contract, are the Cowboys facing a headache in the near future due to his declining play?
Bryce Cartwright concedes he was a “part-time” player when he started his career at Penrith,which is why he wishes he joined Parramatta sooner where coach Brad Arthur has unlocked his true potential.
Still only 29, Cartwright has come a long way since the young man who debuted 10 years ago against Arthur’s Eels and was touted as a future State of Origin star given his ability to produce one or two moments of magic per game. “With age, experience and spending time on the field, it’s helped me out a lot. This is a bunch of blokes that I want to play with, and I don’t want to let them down.”Cartwright spent four years in Penrith and then another three seasons on the Gold Coast in what turned out to be an unforgettable stint before he was poached by Parramatta in a move that went under the radar.
He credits Arthur for all of it and just wishes he joined the Eels sooner, although he’s happy for his former Panthers teammates who have enjoyed so much success.“He’s wanted me to play tough and simple, and then the other things will come off that with a team-first mentality. He reminds me of my dad in some ways because he can be very cranky and loving, so I resonate with that.
