15 tries in 37 apps - thats great stats for the NRL. Big blighter as well !

Roosters are my NRL team and since joining Carney hasn't lived up to his early promise at Canberra. He's bulked up significantly since then and looks more like an impact back rower these days. He suffered a badly broken leg in 2009 and has played only 17 times in first grade since. Maybe regular games will help him get back to something like but i wouldn't expect too much too soon. Has a tendancy to drop the ball a lot but if he clicks he will certainly make an impression as he hits hard.

Fantastic Player - Big stong running winger - causes all sorts of problems for the defence - Very much in the style of Fransis Meli - Can imagine your going to be a force outwide next season with the likes of Carney and Webster

I just hope he knows what he's letting himself in for.

I've no doubt he will have been briefed of what the Tigers fans expect from him.

Yep - 30+ tries a season, make EVERY tackle, NEVER knock on, no forward passes, pracatically perfect in every way...

He is a strong running winger but he's quite a compact build, might struggle taking kicks as he gives away quite a bit in height to most wingers. Maybe he'll be played in the centres?
