A bit torn with this one. Carney would have been a great signing, and one which would have completed our squad. But, is it really worth the risk of causing any sort of rift in the camp in such a big year for the club? Whether its one player or ten, people would start to take sides.
Hopefully this will mean Lancaster gets more of a chance of getting into the first team this year, and look how well that's worked out for Logan.
Plus, it means we can sing the Stevie Michaels Party song again.
All the coaches, Pearson and a lot/most the squad wanted it to happen.
Carney is still with the woman in all this so wasn't like a 1 night thing theres other factors to that made the coaches comfortable with it. Other than this incident Carney is generally regarded by those that know him a good kid so it's not like he was gonna be a massive disruption. The coaches would've happily signed him.
Shaul
Talanoa
Logan
Tuamuavai
Fonua is how I imagine we'll line up now
I personally think it be hard to get a decent player in. It's Nov nearly. I'd rather go in with the cash spare and try pick up a mid season bargain than fill the spot for the sake of it
Lancaster starting the year on loan I think. Bradford I've heard
