'Hoss' Cartwright 3 year deal Delighted.... https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nr ... de8251e701 Brisbane’s premiership drive has suffered a blow with Kevin Walters’ right-hand man John Cartwright clinching a deal with English club Hull FC as the NRL coaching merry-go-round goes into overdrive. This masthead can reveal Cartwright is heading overseas from 2025 after agreeing terms on a three-year deal to resurrect his head-coaching career with the embattled Super League club. A proven assistant to Kevin Walters at the Broncos, Cartwright will inform Brisbane players of his decision on Tuesday. Cartwright’s appointment comes amid a chaotic 24 hours in the NRL coaching world, with Brad Arthur sacked by the Eels on Monday night and Wayne Bennett poised to ink a deal with South Sydney. Cartwright joined the Broncos at the end of 2020 and has had four successful seasons at the Broncos, helping Walters turn Brisbane into a grand-final team.

Picture: Bradley Kanaris/Getty Images Walters was keen for the 58-year-old to stay on at Red Hill but Cartwright was sounded out by Hull FC and has ousted a number of candidates for the top job. Multiple candidates were touted as a replacement for the Hull FC post Adrian Lam, English-born Newcastle Knights assistant coach Brian McDermott and Salford coach Paul Rowley. Interim Hull coach Simon Grix also wanted the top job permanently. But Cartwright has won the race and will return as a head coach for the first time since 2014, when he severed ties with the Titans after eight seasons in charge of the Gold Coast. Following 187 games as a player, Cartwright began as an assistant coach to John Lang at Penrith in 2001 and they won the 2003 premiership together. He has since had assistant coaching stints at the Roosters, Sea Eagles, Cowboys and Broncos, while he was the Titans’ inaugural coach in 2007 and took the club to its best result of a preliminary final in 2010.

Broncos assistant coach John Cartwright will be heading overseas in 2025 signing a 3 year deal to be the new head coach for Hull FC. #bronxnation

On paper I think that's a very good appointment. I would have liked him to come over this season to start getting some things in place for next, but it's not the end of the world. Hopefully he can bring a couple of star signings across with him.

Yeah agree , shame we could get him over sooner.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Tue May 21, 2024 12:47 am  

Obviously Lee Briers has endorsed Cartwright for our vacancy.
I hope 'Hoss' will receive the support staff resources that we badly need, especially in strength & conditioning.
It would be superb,if we could bring a NRL strength & conditioning expert.If we have aspirations to match the likes of Wigan, Saints etc etc, we must be on the same fitness level of these teams., as the demolition by Wigan on HKR, showed the vast difference in Strength,stamina and conditioning.
All these 3 attributes breed , motivation, determination, and confidence, the end resulting in professionalism and culture.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Tue May 21, 2024 4:55 am  

Hopefully it doesn't take us another week to announce him

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Tue May 21, 2024 5:14 am  

Sounds like it's happening then, great news.

I get the argument about him starting immediately but this season has gone. He'll be able to view every game in detail and can start planning for next year and a fresh start. Also staying over there for now means he can start working on new recruits to bring with him.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Tue May 21, 2024 5:54 am  

Think he's the best we can hope for after Rowley turned us down. Lam was using the links to us as a negotiation tactic, which is fine, but I wasn't massively keen on him anyway.

Cartwright has been at some massive clubs. You don't end up at the Roosters and Broncos if you're a dud, plus he's the current NSW assistant.

On top of all this he helped build the Titans from the ground up as head coach.

It's always a risk hiring an aussie assistant, but this feels more calculated than taking a punt on an aussie assistant taking their first head coaching job
