New twist in Carney switch as former clubs chase cash

Todd Carney's hopes of resurrecting his career in Sydney have stalled, with former club Northern Pride demanding $15,000 in compensation and the North Queensland Cowboys also claiming to be out of pocket.

The North Sydney Bears had hoped to trumpet the acquisition of Carney as early as Monday and his signature threatened to end the 11-year link between the Bears and South Sydney, who made it clear last week they did not want any association with the controversial playmaker.

Back in town: Todd Carney hopes to make a return to Sydney with Norths.

In a further twist, Fairfax Media can reveal that as part of the agreement that Souths have with their feeder club, it is Rabbitohs head coach Anthony Seibold who has the final say on team selections for both grades.

It means that even if Carney joined Norths he would then need to be picked by Seibold, which is unlikely given Souths said last week "that there is no pathway to the NRL for Todd Carney through the Rabbitohs".

Northern Pride chief Greg Dowling said the 31-year-old was yet to be granted a release and nothing would be rubber-stamped until the Queensland Intrust Super Cup club was compensated for relocation costs.

Hadley spoke on this yesterday and whilst he sort of brushed over Carney a bit, used the time to bore it into the bears.
He gave the losers plenty, as he has before, claiming that though they clutch on to any possible opportunity for a franchise, they will never return, in any guise, in our lifetime.
Presumably cause they are dead.

Who will pick up the Bears as a feeder? East? Melb? Bris?

And as Hadley was inferring.

The Bears should just lay down they are dead.

In a resounding attack on Bears critics .. Greg Florimo has announced that a rich consortium of North's fanatics have pooled their pensions and after hearing of Northern Prides demand of $15,ooo ... will offer them $23.17 .......

They remain confident that this will be the 1st step in their return to the NRL .....

Probably just trying to go with the "Flo " "but one would think that offer will be laid Bear fairly quickly .

Dig deeper and I reckon you’ll find Souths simply have the shts with Norths and are using this as an excuse to push them away.

Shiit for Carney. Yes I know plenty hate him. But I personally would like him to get one last shot.
