Todd Carney is a superb player and his crimes arent exactly Leon Pryce level are they? Hes got driving offences and I think what would be called "outraging public decency" here I wont say what that was for haha

NRL players in Sydney are watched like Premiership footballers here when on the town and get the associated wannabe WAGs and people looking to make a quick buck. Apart from the CCTV in King St he won't be watched here.

To true
Tim Smith was not a flop here because he was on the lash all the time, he was a flop because he can not tackle for toffee. His passing game was of a very, very high standard, but very inconsistent.

It has nothing to with him propping up the bar in Maloneys with a Harvey Wall banger in each hand, or drinking in the Embargo (forget the new name) because its the only place open late on a Monday night ( ).

I do not recall one single story to make me believe that he was on the sauce whilst over here.

Carney would be a hell of signing.

I would still sooner have Dureau personally though.

Flower and Dudson are being brought in as squad players IMO. Which is exactly what you need in a tough 27 game season. As proved time and time again it's those clubs with the biggest squads that ultimately have the most success.

Flower may not have impressed last night, but it's worth looking at his and Gil's stats on the SL website. For relativley young players, who aren't playing in a great team, usually losing heavily most weeks, their stats are very good.

Anyone else hear about Wigan supposedly having two assistant coaches next year in the shape of Harris and Sculthorpe? Everyone I spoke to last night was adamant about it.

Wouldn't be the worst idea ever, Huddersfield have at least 2.

On another note I will be gutted if we Luauki, he is bobbins and a lazy, lazy player.

After his fist drive against Wire I thought 'ey up' could be alright, but didn't nada after that exept hide in the centres.

FWIW I asked Harris when will he be starting his new job. He laughed and said in about a month. I said I hope it goes well and we left it at that!

Scully won't be going to Wigan next year, he's stepping up to a more responsible role within Saints.
