Todd Carney Combined Mega Thread

[HappilyManly]

[seem to have got cut off ] to conclude , a fit and able Carney may have been a good option but the circumstances seem to be working against this right now .

Cows have JT, Morgan and Temarie, so hard to see them add another half to their roster

I believe that Manly will unearth the next half from our current ranks

It will be exciting to watch and footy can't come soon enough

Point taken but the Cowboys could still be a bit thin if Morgan is unavailable and J T goes down with an injury although their 20's half back looks O K . Cade Cust finished last season really well and may eventually improve to N R L level and i have every hope with Croker and Hastings to do the job required but every indication is still that Baz is on the look out and hunting another capable half or half back , even just for some cover.

Well it didn't really start 10 years ago, it's a recent thread combined with an old one.

Actually, it's a combination of 61 other Todd Carney threads plus a group of recent posts that were transferred out of the Joel Thompson thread into this combined mega thread.

A fair job putting that together.

Morgan???

Starting to look at the darker side and agree Carney would be a great pickup , he is 29 and hopefully moved on from previous indiscretions. The younger brigade we have will get their chance and they are the future of the club Carney suits our current needs , experience , kicks goals and as good as Green was in defence.

Carney could be a great/awesome/amazing pickup for us. Yes, he more than ticks all the boxes (See above). Yes, He could also be the difference between top four and premiers in 2018. BUT He could also destroy our season and damage our culture irreversibly for however long we sign him for. Worth the risk??? Big call TB. Hope it works out for you.....and for us. It would be the against the odds, comeback story of comeback stories if it does.

Morgan???

Michael Morgan - I know he is not a Manly player, but you must have seen him play 5/8 or half recently

Carney is surplus to requirements in their team.

We do not need Todd Carney!! We have better younger options!

I think we need a Todd Carney type player if we are to win a comp next season . If we get him we will go close and im a " give hastings a go sort of bloke . He may deliver but the Crokers , custs and wrights are a year or 2 away in my opinion .

 

[BOZO]

Most teams struggle if their top player is out and we are no different.
I recall Api has filled in at half and did quite well. If that happened we still have Brown to plug a hole at hooker, with support from the rookie hooker.
True that Pearce was Plan A for a time, but we'll have new plans now.

Birds of a feathered stick together here brad 🙂
Carney solves 2 problems . 1 goal kicking 2. Security in having an experienced halve to fall back on.

I think we have cover with the likes of the young blokes i mentioned bozo , but only as cover and not from the get go.

Taking the quality Api away from hooker and weakening the hooking role and putting a Nate Myles type player in Brown who is passed his best and weakening the spine ?
Bad move feathered friend

Love your optimism Brad, but we are a snowflakes hope of winning the comp next season.

Its a fair side mate with the addition of Thompson and the likes of Carney, we'd give it a crack dont you think ?

Any side with DCE The Turbo boys Walker, Thomo , Kappow and some young up and coming players that may surprise will be in it with a chance to win it .
We'd give it a "crack" for sure !!!

Haha a 'Nate Myles type player'. I know you're far from a fan of Brown but that is the lowest insult I've seen on this site of poor old poo.

Why do they call him Poo ? Think about it ?

 

[KNUCKLES]

I know brown isn't a world beater.. but if it's well documented the man suffers from depression I can't understand why manly fans continue to and progress with the whole poo bandwagon.. hardly constructive
