"one of the potentially most exciting...if he gets here!" I guess Todd Carney might be flattered by that?!

Everyone knows Wigan haven't maintained the excellent development and promotion of youngsters to first team rugby like they did in the 80's & 90's but something tells me the town still develops umpteen more first grade players than Huddersfield year in, year out. Anyway, If I wanna watch a bunch of kids from Wigan, I can always watch the Reserves; err, sorry - Huddersfield.

And then when Carney finally gets a Visa, we can sign him for Hull

Carney and Cooke on a night out together, now there's a Sun headline waiting to happen!

As for Bird i do not want him. No to wife beaters at the Giants

Correct.

Last season the only Academy products to play in the 1st team were Goulding, Hock, Hansen, O'Loughlin, Prescott, O'Carroll, Colbon, J.Tomkins, S.Tomkins, Coyle, McIlorum, Mossop and Tuson.

Carney's visa refused. Bit of a disaster!

If Carney can't get a Visa, Bird will have no chance.
