Todd Carney Combined Mega Thread

[Ben]

Green will be a great value pick up for $350k. Will steady the ship. Leave the flair to DCE.
Carney will make things worse

I thought we had a "no d$&@heads" policy?

 

[marcjohnpsg]

Does Carney still have the same presence that he had, upon leaving the NRL?

We have Nate Myles, Zorba Peters and Joe Kelly so unfortunately not.

 

[Brookvale]

Are you taking the p*ss??

He is a liability and has never won a premiership

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

I'd take Carney in a heartbeat. The guy can play and would be a great addition to the club. Just keep him off the piss so to speak.

 

[CBreeagles]

Isn't he over 30? Not really a long term option though.

Tell our owners that as they've let some real dickheads in to run the joint!!

 

[DYEagle]

Anyone agree that we should be chasing todd carney from the UK. As long as we keep him away from the Steyne he will be a great buy especially if they are talking $700k for blake green

No thanks!

Zorba is still there, so thats out the window

Carney for 2yrs, trumps Blake green for the same period. The hamstring issues with Carnage are a concern, but id sign him in a second. Absolute gun...can still tear teams apart. Blake green is a boring signing

 

[chris_niko]

Guy couldn't tackle a t-bone. We have enough defensive issues atm. No thanks

Blake green is better for the team he brings experience and a good organising game and kicking game. Carney is nothing more than a running 5/8 with a poor attitude he would not suit DCE. Green may play boring but it will be great to have a 5/8 who actually does his job you will see his effect on DCE

 

[Shoe1]

Green is 700k for 2 years.

I love how people think it is 700 a year! Do they think that dce is on 10 million a year?

Note to people - papers always mention the figure and period. Divide the figure by the period. A million dollar deal might be the headline, but the period is usually 2 or 3 years.

 

[double hoops]

Carney could be a straight swap for stewart;--

 

[Shire Eagle]

Even 350k is too much for a journeyman. Carney has just turned 30 and green is 30 in a few months. Gotta better better options out there.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

I thought Tom wright was supposed to be a 5/8 in the making. Instead he goes to fullback????
I know he's green to league and young and had some injury concerns but would like to see how he went as a playmaker.

 

[mozgrame]

TODD Carney’s long-running legal stoush with NRL premiers Cronulla over his dismissal from the Sharks could reportedly be dealt with by Wednesday.

A favourable decision for Carney would clear the way for the playmaker to be placed on the NRL market in the hope of finding a club for the 2017 season.

It’s believed St George Illawarra and Melbourne are in the mix for Carney should the NSW Supreme Court rule he was wrongly sacked by Cronulla in 2014 over his infamous ‘bubbler’ incident.

[robbiea]

I heard Knights are after him too.

 

[HoldenV8]

Considering some of the grubs running around in the NRL, I can't see why the NRL should keep Carney out.

Still, this is the NRL and the one thing they do well above anything else is being inconsistent.
