Friend is heading down early Friday morning so would be heading from Leeds on the free buses being offered by the club. Just trying to work out if this Good Friday would be the best / easiest time to go, but I never go eastbound on the M62 any time other than at 7.30am during the week so have no idea! Thanks though Biff.

I hope that you took this same opinion and that you didn't vilify Zak Hardaker for his indiscretions at the club despite showing that he was an undoubted talent?

It is all about how you manage the player to get the best out of them - Carney may well be a lost cause but you cannot ignore his talent - he is way ahead of any other HB in SL.

If you look at Hardaker he appears to have settled down under Powell's style - this may be a temporary blip or a sign of him growing up either way he seems to have adapted positively to a change in management approach.

Todd Carney the best HB in SL by a considerable margin

Is he?
Remind me when he showed that consistently over a season or even half a season?
I remember him being quality at Canberra & the Roosters prior to his usual meltdowns but he's dine zip over here to earn such praise.

I'd have definitely taken Carney for a year.

Silly question, of course he vilified Hardaker and also had a go at the club and coach at every opportunity too.
He's now laying the foundations to have further digs at the Leeds coach by mentioning how well Hardaker's doing, if you think going 2 months without getting in to trouble is doing well of course.

would we? well I've said a half back and johnstone but if you think that's everybody crack on

a team should be mainly home grown/academy players sprinkled with quality players brought in. just my opinion mind but it worked for a few years

I agree, we also don't need to be breaking the bank to buy a winger who's had a few stand out games in a 2nd rate team, to replace a stand out winger who's had a few poor performances.
Just my opinion mind.

Im not convinced he's got a full year in him mate as shown at Catalans & i think his NRL career has clouded his SL efforts.

Fair point re-money & i agree.
Id be happy to offer TJ a deal were he OOC or pay a nominal fee should TB's form continue though.
