[Bastard Squad]

Carney, meanwhile, could sign with the Sharks as early as today, with coach Shane Flanagan arranging to meet with the player's manager David Riolo to finalise a two-year deal.

Carney and the Cronulla Sharks want to meet with NRL boss David Gallop as a matter of courtesy before confirming the deal.

It's a lot of cash for a player who bombed out this season.

Hopefully he can find some of his Dally M form next season otherwise he will be crucified on this site by many of the people who are excited about his signing now.

 

[roboshark]

so is that 200k in year 1 and 500k in year 2 if all goes well

 

[DJShaksta]

$200k for year 1 and he stays out of the headlines for the wrong reasons.
$500k for year 2.

If he stays out of the headlines and does t go off the rails then him recapturing his 2010 form is likely IMHO.

Hopefully he likes the place and forms some good friendships.

Lets hope they wait until the ink on the signature has a chance to dry before making an offical announcement.

Yes I'm sure I saw figures like that quoted.

Talk about an incentive deal.

Stay out of trouble otherwise kiss good bye the 500k.

This has to be the most anticipated signing by Shark fans since inception of the Club.

Just look at this thread.

Anyone know of any other comparable signings?

noddy?

 

[Bastard Squad]

Brett Kimmorley ?

 

[Qld-Sharkie]

I just hope this signing turns into $$$$ for the club. Membership, ticket sales, merchandise...free to air & games WON!!
He could be the messiah...

 

[blacktip-reefy]

@ 700k for 2 seasons, Carney is STILL 200k cheaper than Kimmorley was. Talk about chalk & cheese.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Awesome signing Sharkies.

As we saw in 2010, Carney at his best is one of the best players in the game. He'll win games, bring in fans and sponsors, and get the Sharks on channel 9.

He's just gotta stay off the piss.

Greg Bird coming back sure got some people moist.

My most anticipated signings were Karl Filiga and Nigel Vagana.

Hope Todd trumps them both!

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

get excited.

that said, may not be a comp this year thanks to the IC/News/ARL/Clubs clusterf**k

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Filiga was a P76.
Vagana was good only in a great team. he had no pace. Did we ever get him that job for life as an architect?
Geez he was shyte.

 

[roboshark]

if we go into 2012 without a sponsor then we are farged
