Great minds Betty, great minds.

What do we think the back line for the first game he plays (trusting we get no more injuries, and everyone injured is back)?



I'll go:



Mathers



Carney

King

Bridge

Hicks



Briers

Monaghan





With Johnson on the bench as a replacement forward...

oops

no.

just looked at his stats on munster web site not great read tbh

its not a bad deal imo the knowledge he can pass on to the younger lads we help them immensly just think he could turn Pennny into the finished article



nothing wrong in keeping chooks i have 3 of them

I'm going to trust Smith on this one, I thought he was all about the youngsters at Leeds.

It makes no difference which wing a winger plays on, certainly not a GB international who has more than handled himself in the NRL.

I'm with Sally on his English Love Of Pigeon Holing Players theory.

The way I see it is we've signed a very experienced player who has proven his ability time and time again until the end of the season.



Good business Smith.

Carney = good mentor/coach for Riley/Penny and other young speedsters at the club? as well as being a solid option in the back line if fit.

I can't quite believe the over-reaction to all this...





It's not like TS has brought in Carney and stated that he's going to walk straight into the side.....As a few people have pointed out, it's a no-brainer.



We have signed, on a short-term deal, a proven winger, to replace the gap in the squad left by Penny's loan deal to Widnes....What's the fuss??



It's win-win for Wire....we get cover in the squad, Penny gets valuable game-time at Widnes, and at season's end, unless Carney does something miraculous, we go back to how it was, only hopefully with a more confident Penny, in preparation for next year.



Personally, I'll be very surprised if Carney makes more than half a dozen appearances, as he is simply cover for the wing posisions.



P.S....Can we now presume Penny's loan will be extended?

I joked about this in the gossip forum when i saw him on boots an all i think i must be seeing the future
