Roosters release Carney.

[Red Bear]

Not sure how Souths could afford him, but if he finds form and their pack stays on the park next year they'd be very dangerous. Would bring Inglis into the game more.

Although I suspect he'll end up in France

 

[Raider_69]

You just shake your head
what a mess this kids head must be in, he has f**ked up a career that should have littered with success

owen craigie, move over, the biggest waste of talent crown has a new owner
the raiders have the cap room but i cant see them going back there. But stranger things have happened i guess. It would some story if he did return, keep clean and realise his potential... but you'll let you name your odds on that one. Pipe dreams

I don't think the 'affordability' factor comes into. You're only worth as much as people are willing to pay you, and I can't see him commanding a massive 300+ k contract.

We could give him the money Sandow rejected.

But like I said before, I can't see it happening. Although, it's been brought to my attention that Maguire coached him as a junior at Canberra...stranger things have happened.

Personally I dont think Canberra need him. Talent but his baggage is not worth it. McCrone and Williams are good enough IMO to support Campese.

His career in Australia is done.

 

[Brutus]

Carney will join lol5ouffs (is that how you write it?)

Absolutely agree
we dont need him and i doubt the club will even entertain the thought of it
but you never say never in RL i guess

I've heard rumours of Cowboys, Sharks and Souths:
Faaaark....back when it was fantasy I was for it, but if there's any chance we actually will go that way, now I'm not so sure. Seems scary. The 'rocks or diamonds' cliche is overused but it applies with him, if a club like Souths or Cowboys throws him a lifeline it could win them a premiership...it could ruin multiple seasons.

Straight up, in all seriousness, you would take one premiership with a few rock bottoms would you not?

I've said it in another thread, I think he was a magic buy for the Roosters. He got them to the GF off his own back, something they would likely not gone near doing without him. Yep they almost got spooned this year but for 2010 alone I think it was worth it. Supporters of the Roosters may disagree, I don't know.

For my club, gee I'd be tempted to have him in 2013 when Maloney (likely) leaves us. He might've grown up a touch, and we had Seymour come here and have no dramas at all. In fact in our 17 year history, only Faumuina (an f*ckwit everywhere) and Taluapapa have slipped up big-time, booze-wise.

The bloke is seriously f**ked in the head.

No empathy, respect or ability to think of consequences and a pathological liar.

Medically either a sociopath or narcissist. lay terms - a f**king moron.

Most people are like that, its just not on display.

The deal must've been done for a year in France, why else would he throw away the contract. Then they get him back for 2013... they wont repeat Canberra's mistake.

 

[Cliffhanger]

If I was in charge I would.

Its a controversial issue among Raiders fans. We need a half in case Campese gets injured again or whatever he is also friends with Dugan and it would help retain him. That said he has a history of being a huge dickhead and its a very young club which can be influenced by it.

What did you guys do to McCrone and Williams?

 

[Glen]

With this guy's talent he should be one of the few best players in the world. NSW could have used his help too if he wasn't such a screw-up

 

[bileduct]

Come home Toddles.

 

[Moffo]

Parra don't need him. Our spine is set.

Ben Roberts?

Hahahhahahahaahahaha

 

[Flapper]

I would have him at the Tigers after an enforced 90 days in rehab.

 

[fred95]

Fair enough.

Serious question - would the Raiders take him back?

The question is would Carney go back to the Raiders ? The club sacked him, had him banned from even living back there. I think that before long there will be a long line of suitors trying to sign him to a contract, I only wish my club was one of them. If sacking him does'nt result in obtaining the service of either Sonny Bill or Quade Cooper, a lot of Rooster supporters are going to be pretty upset at the club's decision to dump him, it would take someone of their talents to even try to replace Todd.

He was banned from Goulburn not Canberra and it certainly wasn't by the Raiders.

Although I wish we had that sort of power.

 

[fred95]

Our halves next year will be
14. Sutton
7. Reynolds
6. Inglis

OR if we actually get Carney (we won't try to go near him)
14. Sutton
7. Carney
6. Inglis

After your incessant critiscism of Carney, I just knew, ( along with everybody else ) BunniesMan would be the first to pencil Carney into his newly proposed run on team for 2012.

Oh yes he would be very cheap, you could pay him double what you pay Inglis and he'd still be far better value for money.

I was simply correcting someone else's post. I'm 100% certain we won't try to sign him. I don't even know if I'd want him.

Usually with most things I have a fully formed opinion within 10 seconds. But on the Carney situation, I genuinely don't know. Huge pros, huge cons, I don't know if I want him at my club. I'm glad it's not up to me because I'm literally 50/50 on it.
