My understanding is that there is no 'agreed fee' for Carney. The deal is a one-year loan deal with Salford paying 100% of wages.
If Salford want to sign Carney permanently they have apparently been told that he is available for no fee. However, Carney himself has to agree to the move which he is unwilling to at the moment, he would rather wait to see if there is any other interest for 2017.

A pretty hateful topic from our faux fan.
We can all read.
It's An astute bit business.
NO Parties get tied up. We get a good winger.
Other than wages no daft transfer fees or contracts to be broken,
He gets to be in the shop window to secure a deal back in the nrl if he plays well,

He's a very good player and I'm glad to see him here and as people have said the deal seems to work for all parties.

My only reservation is, with Taylor we knew he was only here for 12 months but being a prop there was a number of slots available in the match day squad.

Obviously wingers there are only two, so unless we're offloading someone this will cause unrest and alienate the player being left out especially if he's only going to be here for a year.
We talk about building consistency if we let for example BJB go, then Carney leaves were back to square one.

To be honest, I cannot fathom out whywe are discussing this. Every player could leave at the end of next season. For some we will get a fee, for some we won't. Unless the world changed since I went to bed, we cannot introduce slavery or serfdom at Salford Red Devils.
So, unless Mario has some story of a player revolt to happen, say, at Easter, I don't care. I may not be alive for the 2017 season. ISIL may have taken over Peel Holdings. We could have another financial crash, putting Sky's funding in default. I may win more than £10 on the lottery.
Concentrating on 2015 and 2016.

Mario: plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose, as Barton Flyer says.

Apologies didn't realise this was a forum, I'll keep quiet in future.

Loan deal makes sense for all parties involved; Salford don't have to pay a transfer fee for a player with 4 years left on a lucrative contract and aren't stuck with a player for x amount of years if it doesn't work out, Castleford don't have to pay Carney anything for releasing him from said contract and Carney has 12 months to decide whether or not Salford is the right place for him to spend the next few seasons of his career. Given the off-field dramas we had last season, who can blame players for not taking up contracts longer than 12 months.

All that matters is we've got one of the best wingers in the competition in our team next season.

You cutting and pasting my comments, JGR?





Sorry, I forgot, only our Italian plumber copies & pastes on the forum. I suppose he finds it difficult to change the habit of a lifetime...

Negatives aside we have a great player in Carney absolute try machine. Trip across to the jungle should be a little spicy...

Wigan were in for Carney and Ryan Hampshire was going to Cas on loan for a year. However with Sam Tomkins injury that loan deal was pulled as Hampshire is now needed next season.

A year is a long time in Rugby League. Carney may love it at Salford with Tim Sheens around. The club may even be more settled without the likes of Chase and Hock. Who knows where he may end up in 2017? One thing is for sure, he is a hell of a winger and would be a success in any team in the comp.

Don't come on here with your positivity and well reasoned comments aboveus, you'll be very lonely

Am I the only one who finds the stench of hypocrisy coming from Castleford and rugby league fans in general, very distasteful?

I mean Castleford must be the moral and ethical centre of Great Britain. The hysterical reaction to what is an extra marital affair, leads me to believe that everyone in Castleford and beyond are in totally monogamous relationships.

'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' and all that.

Aspersions are also made of stone in Castleford. Well, pretty much everything actually.

No more one sentence paragraphs from the M.E.N, a pleasure to read.

I see that Lord Haw Haw (Mario aka Neil Barker) has been on re Carney. Really this is Non News Event of little interest to the fans. Absolute non story. Irrelevant. Of no consequence whatsoever. Meaningless.

Its the type of non story we have been used to for years.

Basically IF he (JC) is any good and has a good year Marwan will offer him another contract. If not he won`t. Simple as that. Plenty of fish in the sea.

You will have the option to make the deal permanent for 2017, If you pay the highest fee and agree terms.

He's going to you, as we didn't want him around the club, much like Sneyd, Hopefully he tears it up next year, then there will be a host of clubs interested and we can claw some money back.

Sadly almost all stories in today's MEN are one sentence paragraphs.

After signing Carney any idea how many more to follow, NZ/AUS etc I was thinking business must be done just not announced as pre season starts on Monday. Thoughts guys?

12 more to come in.

Only 12,

I hope not, i was told 20 new faces this season, and i got 500/1 at bet fred for that many.

No, 12 was the season tickets we've sold.

I've been told by MK & MV a few minutes ago that a young home nations International 2nd rower, nicknamed Dundee Beefcake has signed a 3 year deal, along with a current Australian International centre - being announced later!!!!







[size=50Obviously, I'm just extracting the urine[/size

Bet fred now that would be a good sponsor for next season

Being one of the biggest business families in Salford it is a shame with the Dones but theyve not much interest in RL.
Sure Wilky tried to get them onboard for years and they eventually sponsored the shed in the later years if I'm correct but nothing major.

This Aussie centre...... is he from Melbourne?
