With gleeson out, and Mathers in there must be some slack in the Salary Cap. On that basis I think signing Mr Carney is a no brainer.

At worst he will be good PR, as well as good around the dressing room. At best he could be the difference that raises us to the next level come playoff time.

Can't understand why unless Hick's injury is serious? http://www.warringtonwolves.org/news/Wolves38783.ink

Bizarre and totally underwhelmed.

Maybe something to do until he joins the backroom staff in some way? I'd be very disappointed if he took the place of our current wingers.

its all very refreshing this positivity....

he'll take us to the Grand final.......

good in the dressing room......

can still score tries........

good PR........

even Smidger has said He's a championship player ...eh..?
(he was sub in Wigans Challenge cup win in 2002 does that count..?)

its a joke to be fair.....in the last 12 months the bloke has played what amounts to Monday Night touch Rugby on Vicky park, scored no tries in a competative game,and not had his physical shape tested in any way.

This is odd but very low risk due to the terms that have been agreed. Pity we can't wheel him out against Wigan as that would be worth seeing.

suppose you think we will sign a player and not play him in his position then ? fact is he is a better winger than Riley and probably Hicks and if Tony Smith signs him us mere mortals should trust his judgement !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better than Hicks.

He's not played the game for about three years, and hardly set the RU world alight in the meantime by all accounts.

How is he better than Hicks and Riley? Have you seen him play over the last 12 months? He's hardly played and also in a totally different game. What is his record in terms of tackle busts, tries, meters etc in direct comparison?

Really not interested in this signing as I don't, as yet, see the benefit.
