[edit] Football Coach
John Cartwright began coaching at Penrith as the reserve coach in 2001. John Cartwright is coaching the Titans in their inaugural year in the NRL. He has become involved in a feud with Melbourne Storm winger Steve Turner over contractual obligations. "We flew him up, showed him around for two or three days and he agreed to me that he would come here, we shook hands. He looked me in the eye. The deal was done. He even started looking for accommodation. I only coached him in a couple of games at Penrith and my reaction has been the same as it would be for any player in this situation. But to do what he has done . . . I'm not happy. I'm extremely disappointed, to say the least." [1]
