Who will Todd Carney play for in 2016?

Word on the streets of Perpignan is that the Catalans management are frustrated at their star signing's failure to appear for more than 5 games all season. They are willing to release him if the financial compensation is right from an NRL club.

Many NRL clubs are searching for a five eighth.

Who will choose Todd Carney?

Manly?

Gold Coast?

Paying compensation with a risk profile as poor as that?

NIL

Then again there are some stupid people involved in recruitment.

They're the ones who are frustrated, yet they will consider a release if there's compensation for a guy who was essentially run out of the NRL.

Yeah, hardly the strongest bargaining position.

Some NRL clubs are desperate for quality five eighth.

However many of them haven't picked up the news out of Perpignan that Todd Carney is a crock on his last legs.

I don't think any club would risk signing him
Even if Todd behaves perfectly (which is a big IF) all he has to do is fart in public and the media and nrl will pressure his current club to sack him

As soon as the Titans go 5 or 6 games without Sezer, they will be barging down his door.

Carney living on the Gold Coast....

So he has bad PR, is a very big risk off the park, AND he cant even stay healthy in a soft league like the ESL... and you think an NRL team is going to pay compensation to get his rights?

Sure thing, pal.

Unfortunately his injury record over the last 2 yrs is probably even more damaging than his off field record. He's done

The only expensive import in Super League who is a bigger crock than Todd Carney is Kevin "Nobby" Locke. That poor bugger has been mostly off the pitch injured for most of a year now, after Salford foolishly paid big money to take him off the hands of the NZ Warriors. Salford's deranged boss Marwan Koukash (who wants to buy the Gold Coast Titans) decided not to pay Locke his due wages, so Locke has gone to court against the club, while the owner countersues. Locke then resigned from Salford and signed for a desperate Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, who are under the coaching control of Brian Smith. But Locke had hardly played more than a few games for Wakefield when he suffered another serious injury which is now keeping him off the field for the rest of the season.

Carney may return to the Catalans team before the season ends. They desperately need his talents for their away games, if he can stay uninjured.

The NRL wouldn't approve his contract IMO. Not sure any club would want to take the gamble on an injury prone half who can't go long without getting on the piss and doing something stupid. High risk. Low chance at paying off. Probably wouldn't come cheap either.

Although I would hope he sorts his shit out if he gets another chance. He's an idiot. But no worse than a lot of guys running around. Atleast he doesn't bash women.

NRL should not sign players who


a) Drink their own urine ( unless they are trapped in a mine which you are then a national hero)

b) Have sex with animals
