Has Todd Carney found a new club?

Actually Carney informed Smith he wasn't going to Goulburn anymore that night.

If there was something else to it, Politis wouldn't still want him. The only thing that was kept silent regarding the issue, is what Smith did which caused Carney to stop listening to him.

Huh? What did Smith do?

He'll be back at the Roosters in a few years.

Why would he.........you've just sacked him.

If he ever does get his shit together and is one day worth something again

I would imagine the Roosters would be one of the last clubs he goes to.

Cliffy let me give you a little heads up. Carney was involved in countless incidents from 2010 and 2011 that journalists didn't report on as they figured they owed the roosters a couple of favors for being so transparent to the media in 2010. The balcony incident being one of these. When the roosters started with the siege mentality carney and his shenanigans became fair game.

Carney and his teammates made the non drinking pact together, Todd and others breached that and so his teammates rightfully got pissed off.

I won't reveal my source about the goings on at the roosters in my posts but am happy to pm you if you like.

Believe me, you're better off without Carney.

I find it difficult to believe that Politis would want to keep him if there was more to his indiscretions then what was reported. Not 8 years ago this was the bloke who demanded explanations from his players who visiting the Cross.

I think the Titans genuinly believe they help Carney off the field and he in turn can them on the field. Personally I still think it's a giant train wreck waiting to happen.
I don't think Carney is smart enough to ever learn.

Carney will sign with them this or next week. 1 yr at $65,000, optional 2nd and 3rd year.

A player of Carney's talent, with a POTY medal to boot. Drawing an average wage. What a fool.

Hey pm me the outrageous Toddy stories too!

I love a good Toddy tale. If he was smart he'd start a reality tv show.

My favourite Toddy tale is the champagne shower he gave a guy whilst at the Raiders.

Titans are looking good already for successive wooden spoons. And people wanted Searle to head the IC??? :lol:

Well at least the Titans aren're paying too much. If/when he screws up the Titans can punt him easily enough.

If Carney can keep his head screwed on the Titans should be back in the Finals.
If not, I doubt they'll be running last again. Hope not as I've renewed my membership.

I think Searle has been shown to have more show than go.

It takes more than passion and enthusiasm to be successful in the cut throat world of professional sports.

I just wonder what happened to the Titans policy of signing players with good character. Seems to have vanished.

Ok so a team of nice guys probably won't win a premiership, but it only takes one idiot player to bring the whole team down and screw it up for everyone.

I think you will find the policy has always been, no dlckheads.
Meaning if you act up at this club your gone.
If we had a policy of not signing a player that had a past, we would have about 4 players to chose from in the entire NRL

None, because I'm not cut out for running a professional sports team.

How are those 5 year contracts going? Or the cash cow 'Centre of Excellence?'

That's true, but Carney has proven to be the dickhead of all dickheads.

I hope the Titans can pull this off and make it work for them and have the last laugh. But I'm worried that is going backfire very badly.

The last thing we need is a Carney/Myles incident up here and bad publicity. The league world will be LOLing at the Titans and saying we told ya so. And who could blame them?

It's the last thing we need with the stupid Suns bandwagon trying to be flavour of the month. We need smash that bandwagon, not give it a leg up.

Fantastic thanks for asking
5 years ago we didn't have a team at all
Do you honestly think we are now in a worse position?

I just hope the next 5 years are half as successful as the last 5
And btw the CoE is one of the best sporting facilities in Australia, and a much better investment then a pokie palace as you will find out over the next 5 years

I agree mate, but in saying that we were squeaky clean this year, and where did that get us?
At the end of the day it's sport and winning is the key, teams live for decades from GF's. He'll Souths prove that point. We are in a tough market, we need to start winning again, it's more important than anything
