Me too, obvious fitness reservations to one side.
If we were in a playoff, locked in a tight game, do I think he's capable of breaking a tackle and making a 50m+ break, yep.
He's strong out of acting half, looks for work. From those Lions DVD's, you can see that his ethics are good, he's a voice in the dressing room etc.

| Good for team spirit as well. He's one player that's allowed to drink before games. It would probably be in his contract, with his address listed as
Various Pubs
King Street
Wigan.

yes you can find mistakes in all players ....I wish Wire Fans would realise this....I mentioned Johnsons mistakes because he gets away with them scott free...this can only because of his standing in the game i.e Like Rob mentions his hatrick for GB......playing for Wigan and Bradford Bulls etc....
Kevin Penny was never afforded this luxury.....?
lets be consistant ourselves Paul Johnson has NOT added to the Wing position since replacing Penny. why keep hold of him? Surely we want to start replacing one player with a better one......Wigan did it when they were good ...Saints do it....
saying a player is consistent is not good enough, if we want to win stuff they have to be good at what they do and Paul Johnson is not a good Winger in the memory of man...
but anyway this thread has found new levels of stupidity if we are seriously talking about Brian Carney playing for Warrington wolves

What is the issue with Carney? We are down a winger, it is that simple. Johnson is full of application, but isn't particularly effective, King looks more comfortable back at centre, Riley is more effective at fullback. For whatever reason, Penny is back in the reserves with an imminent return looking unlikely. A winger would be a healthy addition, to a threequartrer line that looks a little lethargic, whilst not forgetting weare down a fullback and centre in Reardon and Gleeson.

Firstly i would say age for starters, we are in danger of becoming an over 30`s club again if we send out this sort of message to players agents that you can get a game at Warrington regardless of age, i can hear Billy Boston polishing his boots and tightening his studs as we speak.
We currently have 7 players in our squad that are 30 and over.
Didn`t Brian Carney have long standing issues with his hamstring towards the end of his RL career ? I can remember him pulling up for GB with it towards the end and i`m sure i remember him being out injured with that problem at Wigan.

His hamstrings stood him in good stead at Newcastle. Chris Hicks is an over 30 winger who is still doing the biz, plus, it isn't as if Carney is not playing first team rugby albeit in an inferior sport. It comes down to the old chestnut; who else is out there?

I would rather we spent our money developing our own home grown talent than bring over a foreign crock from union to top up his pension plan. Better players on our own doorstep.

not really since we signed full back Richie Mathers. And Bridge seems to have returned fully from his serious injury to look like a very accomplished Centre....
Carney would be a disgraceful signing for a club with any kind of ambition.

But it was after he had finished playing for Newcastle that he picked up his hamstring injury whilst playing for GB at the end of 2006, maybe it was an injury waiting to happen and a matter of when and not if.
Hamstring injuries are something which are very hard to recover from, just ask Lee Briers or Ryan Giggs for an opinion on the subject, once you have an hamstring injury thats gone a few times its as if they stay with you until the next time that you slightly over do it.

Very true. The troubles that 35 year old, current PFA Player of the Year Ryan Giggs has had with his hamstrings has wrecked his 800+ appearances career at Man Utd.
What a player he could have been without those blasted hamstrings, we'll just never know.

| Great signing of crocker . that was much needed.
Souths should now set their sights on trying to get Crockers ex Storm team mate Matt King for 2010. Apparently he is unhappy in th UK and wants to return to the NRL. He would be perfect next to Best in the centres.
