Today's CT says that Raiders teenage halfback is determined to play in Saturday's PL Preliminary Final - on one leg if he has to.
Carney had an xray on his injured left ankle yesterday but won't get the results until this morning. He is however aiming to be at training tonight.
The Raiders must win against the Dragons on the weekend to qualify for their second consecutive grand final. Carney was walking without crutches yesterday and is confident of taking his spot.
"It feels a lot better than it was" Carney said before last night's swim recovery session. "If it is half right, I'll play. It could be our last game."
Mark Henry is on standby for Carney, having filled in for the majority of last weekend's win against the Eels, after Carney was injured midway through the first half.
"He's been an important part of our team" coach Collins said. "Todd's in some doubt. We'll just see how he goes towards the end of the week. He probably won't train until Thursday or Friday." He will be given every opportunity to prove his fitness.
