Didnt he get Homesick at the titans?

I don't know I seem to recall he had a few injury related issues as well. Does anyone know how much rugby he has played in the last two seasons?

Signed for the titans but started off with a 1 year deal at the newcastle knights and did really well. Went to the titans and had one training session then he decided to sack it off to spent time with family etc..... Then signed for Munster.

Bad signing all round, ship Penny out and get a has been

For gods sake, put your hat in the ring and just say it.

Didnt he Rip it up at newcastle?

the guys a biscuit, stay away is what i say.

Surely were not questioning a "smith" signing?

16 tries in 26 games.

Didn't he get voted the best winger in Aus that season aswell?

Everyone laughed when we signed Mathers, i think TS knows what he's doing, i'm happy.

Yeah Dally M winger of the year in 2006. Quite an achievement because last year the accolade went to Colin Best.

Yeah did really well at Newcastle.

What about Peter Fox at Hull KR, good player, but think Tony Smith got rid of him at Leeds but not sure

Why would you want to sign a 33 year old Carney, when you already have Hicks, King and Riley (plus Penny out on loan).

Unless Hicks injury is far worse than being broadcast.

That thought had crossed my mind.

Bloody hope not.

This signing has been coming before Hicks got injured.

That thought also crossed my mind. Long term because Hicks and Riley are both on contract for next year it tends to suggest the exit of Penny and possibly Johnson.

The same reason Hull FC want a 33 year old Long when they already have Thomas Lee, Richard Horne, Danny Washbrook, Chris Thorman, Richard Whiting and Shaun Berrigan probably.

When is this signed due to be announced, if indeed it is true? Is it a Thursday Guardian job?

Just about to say the same thing.

If this Carney signing is indeed the one that Tache mentioned then it was way before Hicks picked up his injury, the Carney signing is puzzling me somewhat, he's 33, has his fair share of injury's and we have move than enough people to play on the wing.

I hope you know what your doing Tony

Hull haven't had a good SH since Tony Smith.

Warrington have got good wingers.

Doing alright so far!

I would think that this will be either a signing until the end of the season, or on a mtch by match basis. We sold a centre, sacked a fullback/winger, and signed a fullback, so we have 1 space available in the backs. Carney will fill it until the end of the season. It gives us more cover, and if it doesn't work, then we haven't really lost a lot.

We didn't replace Gleeson and Penny out on loan that's 2 places in the backs up for replacements using my maths !
I would say Carney is an excellent signing strong and fast and if Tony Smith wants him who are we mere mortals to argue with it !

Carney would be a great signing, think of all those Green irish hats we can sell like they have on Paddy's day
