I'd be surprised if Carney got a visa and even more surprised if we signed him, don't think he would be the sort of person IL/Wane/Rads want around the club, as MattyB says, Gleeson was shown the door so why open it up again to someone else? No doubt he's a fantastic player, but do you risk upsetting what seems to be a very close knit squad with a bit of a loose cannon?

maybe a change of scenery would benefit him?

Carney replacing Deacon at 6 would be a dream...

make it happen IL!

Re the change of scenery, it might be exactly the thing he needs to get out of the Sydney NRL goldfish bowl and get back on the straight and narrow.

Why chose have both.

We are Wigan Warrios and we make the rules up as we go.

We're Wigan and we do what we want.

(Awaits smart @rse opposition fan of an obscure club to say 'your Wigan and you do what your told')

In all honesty I thing Carney would fit in to the team and tactics rather than Chase, if we signed Chase we would need to change tactics somewhat, at present both halfbacks are the same, just someone to pass the ball out to Sam who is playing the traditional role of 6 (which has transformed to the role of 1 in recent years).

Opposition teams know Deacon and Finch aint going to take the line on so will slide out because they know Sams getting it, if we had Carney he or Chase could dummy and go and put that doubt in the defences minds.

Either or for me but I'd prefer Carney

I would be more than happy with either Chase or Carney. We definately need someone.

I saw a list of out of contract NRL players somewhere this week and while the standard of players available was anything but inspiring I noticed Paul Aiton hasn't been offered a contract at Cronulla. As far as hookers go we could do a lot worse.

No doubting Carneys callibre as a player but lest we forget he couldnt get a visa for Hudds, what makes us think we can get him through Border Patrol? Maybe we still have that Michael Dobson immigration lawyer on retainer?

Rumours on the Hull FC board tonight that Lauaki has signed for Widnes.
I do hope it's true!
