Would be a massive coup for the Dragons. Do they want to be seen as some sort of rehab for him and are they willing to take on that responsibility?

Good luck to him. Maybe the change of scenery will do him some good.

Probably just as good as his 2010 rehab programme when he went off to Queensland and worked as a barman.

Carney is a class player and worth a shot , Catalans did well with Greg Bird who is not shy on raising eyebrows France maybe calming ?

Too true, he is a stunning talent,

Its just about one of those situations where clubs will line up,to give him that one extra chance in the hope that he comes good on their watch..

Yeh i agree , if you could get him and he clicks then you have a world class player .

Is there something in the water in France which makes our nasty blokes turn into angels all of a sudden? Magical place France.

I think it's althoughs mime artists in stripey shirts and white painted faces trying to get out of invisible boxes .

( this was a joke and not ment to offend anyone )

That reminds me of my holidays in Belgium during the summer festivals in 2009. Everybody was either painted up, wearing a mask, wearing funny striped shirts or eating ice cream (from street vendor boxes)

Todd Carney would have stuck out like tatts on a dog's sac!

Looks like they went for Leon (sick note) Price instead.

Why not Carney and Price ?

I know it is somewhat off topic, but still naughty Sydney boys, But is it true that David gallop has not attended a Manly game since the Brett stewart incident?

Not sure laurie, probably not.
It was still simmering only a couple of months ago when Des Hasler demanded an apology from him about the treatment of Brett Stewart... and he refused of course.

I wouldn't imagine Hasler would be the kind of guy that would give in too soon.

Hey we've just got the news over here,(again naughty boys in Sydney)that Benji has got off all charges...

Yes, just heard that too. That was for the McDonald's incident wasn't it?

Yes that was the McDonalds incident, Benji said on NZ tv tonight that from now he's going to use the drive through.

The one at The Rocks has the most dangerous hamburgers in Australia apparently...

I doubt Todd Carney will be going to the Catalans now with Leon Pryce signing for them.

He's going to be in a spot of bother. I doubt either NRL or SL clubs will want to touch him.

good call on the burgers,that young guy got a sore mouth.

I can see him ending up playing union as it appears he's running out of options in Rugby League.

Someone will take a chance on him , he is to good a player

Nothing wrong with his play on the field, but its away from the playing field he's a liability.

He might have to eat some humble pie playing for a feeder club in a regional area. Imagine that... a former Dally M Player of the Year!
