I still can't believe Tansey played first-grade. Awful player.

No love for Mark 'Flash' Flanagan? He made almost 30 NRL appearances unbelievably.

Mark the Lark was definitely a better choice than Jordan the Pansy, but he never really made a splash. Always a bench player in the NRL.

Those were dark, dark days.

The comedy years with clowns like Tansey getting a run. Makes Justin Carney look like a decent signing for us :sarcasm:

Gee the Poms have sent out some tough bastards. A pack with Morley, Graham, George and Sam Burgess and Ellis would be a scary.

Never f##king heard of him

Actually not even joking, who is this bloke, who did he play for?

He was signed by the Roosters in the year we got the wooden spoon, 2009

He was a bag of fail, although he was about 12 years old when he signed and skinny as a rake.

I think he may have played a couple of half games, then everyone realised he was utter shite and he stayed in the reserves until he left after one season.

He currently plays for Castleford in the Super League and looks like a life on the pies is doing him the World of good. :sarcasm:

He did score a try for Cass last week against Hull KR, so someone must like him

Mal Reilly exactly 2 months older than me was the best Pom I saw play . . . Graham comes closest to him for 'dedication'

Brian Carney

Brian Carney is Irish. He discovered the game on TV while a student at Dublin University, and eventually made his way to Wigan, before signing with Newcastle Knights. He is a good mate of Matty Johns, but has a strong Irish accent, which is why nobody has previously confused him with an Englishman.

You can now often hear and see Brian Carney commentating on Super League on Sky Sports, which is transmitted on Fox Sports in Australia.
