The last ESL player we signed - we bitch about his performance constantly.

Carney's been far better than anyone else in our backline aside from Matt Gidley. Quinn and Carmont aren't fit to lick the mud from his studs.
Thanks for that. Carney is a glunk defensively, that's the opinion I'm not entitled to ;-) .CWBush said:The only people bitching about Carney are idiots, and they're not entitled to opinions.

I have seen Quinn make try saving tackles, I'm struggling to think of any Carney has made, sure Carney has been gifted a heap of trys by Gidley, but it's cancelled out to a big degree by the number he lets in. The best thing about Carney is his metres gained. But yes he's no better than Carmont or Quinn defensively.CWBush said:And Quinn and Carmont aren't? At least Carney offers something in attack.
Tighe has been hard done by I agree, Cooper had a number of chances last year, and didn't measure up.Newie is God's Country said:Carney is world class. Quinn and Carmont have never exactly been cause for excitment have they. When you have Brad Tighe and Dustin Cooper in the Premmies you know you are dealing with a coach who clearly plays favourites. Dusty Cooper has never been given the chance. I mean the kid was an origin possible three years back. He killed em at the storm but left cos of the coaching setup at the time.

I never claimed Quinn or Carmont were better than Carney, I simply replied to the claim you made about being an idiot for being critical of Carney, and anyone who was wasn't worth an opinion. Contrary to your claims, Carmont was a world beater on the wing in his first season at the club, that's why he got another contract. Carney has scored 13 trys this season and I reckon has been directly responsible for at least 8 going past him. Most of Carneys trys have been a result of the service he gets from Gidley. He's a good metre eater, and a good finisher.IMO there are better wingers around than Carney.CWBush said:You'd be hard pressed to find a coach on earth who would choose to have Carmont or Quinn in their side ahead of Brian Carney.
Carmont has never measured up. He periodically has average first grade games about which we all rave, and then returns to being a shoddy defender and unimaginative attacker. Quinn's marginally better.
IMO there are better wingers around than Carney.
