Don't shoot me down for banding names about as I suspect this is what this is....But the wail are linking us to Todd Carney....I imagine he would be about as welcome as a dose of the clap?

Re: Carney : Tue Oct 03, 2017 11:13 am  

I think it's very lazy journalism, plucking names out of the ether due to lack of genuine info.
If last season is an indicator of how we now do business, nothing is passed to the press until the ink is dry on the contract.

Anyway he's got some very dodgy tattoos that could possibly clash with some of our sponsors shirt logos, so it's a "no thanks" from me

He'll be back in the NRL next year, he's had his court case cleared so this allows him back in. Someone will take a punt on him.

Being disappointing in the last 2 years but there must be a player in there somewhere. You don't get a Dally M for nothing.

Like with so many other players, I really don't get all the hype surrounding him. In saying that, I can do the same party trick he did and got in trouble for. Bubbling.

Not a player I'd be enthusiastic about if signed,Done very little at Cats or Salford. Agree he must be better than he has shown over here but strikes me as the kind of player we would have signed in the past and wasted big wage on a bad attitude. Makes you wonder what last season's side could have looked like if we hadn't had that mad 2 minutes and not gone down? If rumours were true then Masila and Hardaker were signed for us .We will never know but it's nice to be linked with good players and makes an interesting off season before Superleague again

Lazy lazy bas#ard. Injured regularly.
Watched him walk through a game. Then he decided to play and put 20 odd points on Huddersfield in about 15 minutes. He's just taking the money now. There's a reason Catalan and Salford have got rid.
Immensely talented and intelligent player when he can be bothered. Could have been a great....but wasn't.

A quite unbelievable thing to add to one's curriculum vitae.

When they say some players come for a holiday he is one of them tell him to go back to OZ and not come back

It didn't work out well for Carney but for others it can be the means to a living.

Admittedly much more difficult for a goose however.

Re: Carney : Thu Oct 05, 2017 6:53 am  

He was rumoured to be coming to us a few weeks ago.

With Williams going back, I believe we are looking for another half back.

Since the rumour, I have also heard he is returning down under
