IT appears the recent criticism of Bryce Cartwright isn’t hitting home with the Titans forward making another embarrassing tackle ‘attempt’ on Roosters star James Tedesco on Saturday.

The game was already in the bag for the Tricolours, who had mounted a huge second-half fightback, but they probably shouldn’t have scored their last try if Cartwright had put his body on the line.

With five minutes on the clock, Jake Friend darted out of dummy half and passed to Tedesco who raced right past Cartwright to eventually set up Mitchell Aubusson.

Cartwright seemingly had enough time and space to get to Tedesco but he appeared to pull out of the tackle.

Earlier this month, former NRL star Michael Ennis claimed Cartwright was “taking the piss” after a similar attempt on Cameron Munster which saw the Melbourne star dive over for an easy try.

“Bryce is letting his coach down. There’s no two ways about it,” Ennis said at the time.

“He’s given him a lifeline and he’s taking the piss up there, Bryce. No two ways about it.

“He needs to show that he wants to be an NRL player, he’s nowhere near NRL standard.”
