rumours are circling that flannagan and gal want carney and apparently gal is supposed to be like his mentor protector…..
i wouldnt want to let gal down

imagine being a half at cronulla next year or a hooker
halves - robson, graham,kelly, porter, smith, townsend, carney possibly
hooker - degois morrris aiton flannagan

i have no idea why they bought robson when they already had a few halves...and i wonder what will happen in hooker with degois likely to be the number 9 what happens to morris aiton and flannagan as degois is an 80minute player

7 halves for 2 jerseys- id say graham townsend kelly and possibly carney would have the front foot

maybe the rabbity should call looking to buy one of them ...kelly may want to play with big cousin G.I
 
they went on a massive recruitment drive but didn't buy 1 single player where they needed to the most, the outside backs
 
Sharks need a quality half. Townsend showed promise, but is still a year off the pace.

If I were the Sharks, I'd have Carney at #6, Robson at #7 and Townsend to get a few games along the way. Graham is a lock or a pivot, so I'd even give him a crack at lock and move Gallen to prop or second row.

They've got a ton of halves and hookers, but apart from Graham, Robson and DeGois, none are really up to NRL standard.
 
Just goes to show, no matter how badly you stuff up, someone will always want to buy you. I can't believe anyone wants to go near the guy, he clearly has bigger issues.
 
I cabt believe clubs think they can set him straight. At the end of the day iys up to Carney to get his own head right, and he clearly cant.

I guess talent speaks volumes, regardless of the personal demons and how destructive they may be to him playing up to his full potential…

Wasn't it funny Haven't seen so many clubs in such a short period of time say they aren't interested in a guy that was a Dally M winner last year
Speaks volume that the only club interested is very used to dealing with his types previously
Bird ,Seymour etc
If they sign him they will get what they deserve

He's a lost cause, the only person who can save him is Todd Carney. I don't know why anybody would want him in his current state. He had a year out of the game working in the middle of no where, then came back, was the best player in the game, represented his country, almost won a competition and was earmarked for origin, yet still can't motivate himself to stay off the drink. A club can only do so much for a player, motivation and drive comes from the player, and it's clear Carney has none.

Thats not to say he cant get it together in future.

Good luck to him, a brilliant talent at his best, I hope he can get back on track & fulfill his potential.
We all make mistakes…some are harder to overcome than others

cronulla already have a strong pack with smith gallen tagatese tupou bukuya
and you wouldnt shift gallen to the front row to compensate for the move of graham.
they just bought ross gibbs fifita and have mannah and cordoba

de gois is definitely hooker with most likely morris to the bench

halves well i believe graham kelly(was killing it early on) and townsend are my clear favourites….i dont rate robson- neither does kearney

albert kelly was killing it at the start of the year….robson cant even get a look in above mguire or hayne - kearney obviously doesnt rate him....he is a dull player.

who would you ever move one of the worlds best players.....the sharks alreadys have tupou smith tagatese bukuya who are quality forwards at second row.....and they will have gibbs fifita ross cordoba mannah in the forwards

Ease up mate. I was getting at how they've got a plethora of halves and the best part of them are not first grade quality yet (or never will be.) Robson might be a no frills player, but IMO he's the best #7 the Sharks have got next year and would be a good halfback to have alongside Carney. Kelly was killing it at the beginning of the year, but Mortimer did too two seasons ago and look where he ended up. As for Gallen, Sticky moved him to the front row for Origin and he was stellar there.

As it stands, the Sharks have officially distanced themselves from him and this may not pan out anyway.
 
Carney is on the cans every day. EVERY DAY !! He is on it from the minute he wakes to the minutes he sleeps.

He is a tough rehabilitation prospect.

His manager is just a money hungry Git who has little interest in the health of Carney. This same manager refused to look at a contract from the Canberra Raiders that stipulated 'No Alcohol Consumption'.
 
**<big>Cronulla Sharks won't rule out Todd Carney</big>

CRONULLA won't publicly admit wanting Todd Carney - but the club cannot dismiss chasing the troubled star.

Speaking with The Daily Telegraph last night, Sharks chairman Damian Irvine said coach Shane Flanagan had not made any formal approach to Carney but admitted his club may soon be interested.

"As with any player, if Shane and Darren (Mooney, football manager) come forward with someone like Todd Carney, then the board would consider it on its merits," Irvine said.

"At this stage, there hasn't been any talk on Todd Carney.

"But as a club, we would consider any player on the market. We have done that all the time.

"Shane hasn't said he is keen on Todd. Todd has a lot of issues outside football we would have to consider and we would look at the pros and cons if Shane came to the club's board.

"He (Flanagan) hasn't expressed a preference either way. We wouldn't be the only club to express an interest if he was available.

"We are also very excited about our young halves like Chad Townsend, Wade Graham and Albert Kelly."

Irvine said he was unsure if Flanagan would meet with Carney's manager David Riolo. "I am not involved, so I am not sure," he said.

Despite speculation, Canterbury CEO Todd Greenberg denied his club would approach Carney.

Panthers boss Phil Gould yet again did not return calls to The Daily Telegraph.

On One Week At A Time this week, NSW coach Ricky Stuart said: "He is a good bloke Toddy Carney.

"Personally, if I was coaching, I'd like to buy him. He knows this could be his last opportunity in the NRL.

"It's got to the stage where he has to put his hand up and understand that."

Riolo was not commenting.

No, in 2008 they were a top 4 side, before a long chain of off field dramas put them in spoonville in 2009 (only the Roosters being completely inept stopped them taking it out). Had they kept it together off the field, they could well have won a premiership (I know many who think Bird getting himself stood down and sacked cost them the premiership in 2008). They must have figured out that the sideshow is no good for a club.
