Ive just been told of a person who has told me things in the past and 99.9% have come true.

We are currently trying to sign Todd Carney from Canberra or possibly he may have agreed terms for next season. I Think he is a stand off.

Our problem is...

With all these new players coming in for the off-season, we are going to be in a similar situation to 2006 where there's no cohesion between them for at least the first half of the year...

Not to mention if TM decides to do his usual and juggle players all over the pitch, they're not going to know if they are coming or going.

I honestly can't see much light at the end of the tunnel unless some sort of miracle happens and these new signings just click and TM has a change of heart and sees some sense.

I'll even go as far as to say next season there's a distinct chance we will finish bottom again. Even with 2 new SL teams in there...

I'd rather have half a bad season while they gel, than a full bad season like we've had this year.

Note I said 'at least' there

With TM's man management abilities, there might not be any cohesion at all.

Would be a good signing. A goal kicker too!

As posted in the 'new players' thread, I very much doubt he will be coming to Cas.

He only signed a new 2 year deal (with a further 2 year option) in March this year, this was after rejecting huge offers from other clubs.

But huge offers from an NRL club wont be as much as we could offer as there SC is much tighter

Carney is reported to be on 400,000 dollars a year at Canberra, which is around 190,000 pound. Do you really think the BoD would be willing to match that amount, let alone improve it? I don't think so.

I've been making that point from prior to the start of the current campaign. Many people have stated that this season is/was meaningless and we didn't need to sign too many players just yet but await the pot of gold that shines at the end of the camapign.

My point has always been that the current season should have been used to gel a squad together and with a FEW new additions over winter, hit the ground running next season. I've also stated that there will be a ready excuse if we start badly next year, "the players are just getting used to each other".

There's and old saying, "fail to prepare, prepare to fail" but I tihnk Cas have it the wrong way around, the prepare to fail and consequently fail to prepare (properly).

We will not be after Todd Carney bricktop. There is though a threequarter called Justin Carney on Canberras books, who is no relation. Maybe it is him who we are after and someone has got their wires crossed.

we have no chance in signing todd carney,he`s a future kangeroo and one of the hottest you half backs in the game.

Justin Carney has just broken into the 1st grade side over recent weeks, I believe, and has been playing pretty well.

If it's the guy who I'm thinking of the commentators were comparing him to Billy Slater.

Similar stature and attributes
