Eight talking points from NRL Round 8 A Set the default text size A Set large text size Replay A Set the default text size A Set large text size Eight rounds are in the books, a third of the season is done, and with injuries, blowouts and a pair of upsets, there is plenty to discuss. Here are my NRL talking points for Round 8. Brett Morris has been the greatest winger of this generation ‘Heartbreaking’ would be the word to describe Brett Morris injuring his ACL on Saturday night. Roosters, Dragons and Bulldogs fans will agree particularly, but neutral fans of this competit...

Clint Gutherson has showed again he is turning into the No.1 man Parramatta want him to be, starring in their 32-10 NRL win over Canterbury. In a clinical performance, the Eels led from the outset and quickly put paid to any hopes of a Bulldogs comeback early in the second half after two straight tries. It took them to 7-1 for just the fifth time in their history, with the Eels now second on the table and behind only western Sydney rival Penrith at the top. The only issue came in the form of a hip injury to Nathan Brown, who is set for scans with the Eels hopeful he may only miss a few weeks.

"To win a competition, if it means I’ve got to pick up dog poo for the rest of my life, I’m happy to do that." Brad Arthur offered up that backyard analogy the day before his season started, referencing a long-held, yet to be delivered promise to his daughter – the Arthurs get a family pooch when Parramatta gets a premiership.

Sitting in the hospital after another NRL career setback, Bryce Cartwright foolishly believed Blake Ferguson was calling to apologise for the stray boot that broke his jaw in a training mishap. "I thought he must've been checking in on me to see if I'm all right," Cartwright said. "But he goes 'hey bra, can I have your massage?" Cartwright laughs now, but at the time his jaw was si...

A "few expletives" from Mitch Moses, a blunt assessment from Brad Arthur and even a stray, jaw-breaking boot from Blake Ferguson has one-time Panthers prodigy Bryce Cartwright feeling the love at a Parramatta club he grew up hating. Cartwright's third outing in blue and gold, albeit against a hapless Broncos outfit, was his best NRL game in years as he bagged a try, helped set up two more and finished with 129 running metres off the Eels bench. Now 26, Cartwright copped an estimated $350,000 pay cut from his last Titans deal to take up this Parramatta lifeline with no other NRL option in the ...
