I joked about this in the gossip forum when i saw him on boots an all i think i must be seeing the future

if all goes well i can see carney onboard for 2010 as well.

So now you now why, out of nowhere, he started appearing on Boots and All again

I remember the try well my mate had just said buying dessie was a waste of money and then he lit up the snookers touchline like a beauty...

but Dessie was 29 when we signed him he was a then current International, an out and out Athlete, and a top grade player, albeit in dispute with Leigh and unable to train with them...
which is why he was out in the streets running to keep fit when Tony Barrow spotted him.

Carney's weeks away from being 33 and has hardly been called a supreme athlete throughout his career.....

but I suppose if my fears are confirmed and he's an old crock he wont play so who cares.. he'll do a good job keeping Paul Johnson company....

hope you don't mind me dropping in...

I can't wait to see carney play again. On this basis (general increased interest in wire, not mine specifically) has got to be good if you've not paid loads, he's not stopping another decent player develop etc.

Good luck, its great to see a competitive interesting wire - got to be good for GB / England and SL.

At this moment in our season , we don't really need Carney. But he's there for cover etc. which is a good thing i suppose. I wouldnt play him ahead of Hicks and King though

shocking signing imo

Shocking in what way? Any other reasons other than the silly ones posted above.

Not as shocking as the pies sighning of Karl Pryce...

can i just add although i doubt this signing on fitness issues i wouldn't on his speed

1993 Linford Christie won a world championship gold at the same age with a time of 9.87.

So some old men can run fast at that age

You want to see him run down King Street at last orders. Like a blur.

Don't get why some of you are moaning TS has let Penny go on loan sold Gleeson and released Reardon bringing someone in who can play in that area is the right thing to do, how many times over the last few seasons have we fell short because of injuries to the squad we couldn't cope with.

IN TONY WE TRUST

is that the same Linford Christie banned for taking peformance enhancing drugs and sacked from Record Breakers

That's the one chuck.

the same Linford Christie who had stopped running competitive races and was tested on an invitational to 'up the card' with over 100 times the legal limit when he'd announced well before that race that he'd retired. Not exactly subtle drug use.
They didn't strip him of his medals so that says something .

Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a job in this city, we've got one on the right wing.

A bit more has been added here now: www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ngton.html Smith talks about the signing. Also says Monaghan is set to miss the game vs. Cas but Chris Hicks and Paul Johnson are available again.

I trust Tony, if he told me there is a sea monster living in a Loch in Scotland, I'd believe him.

what about if you caught him with your misses?

I'd tuck him in, he'd turn her into a better girlfriend.

He looked fit and quick when I saw him play in March. Plus he's a real character and would always be good for team spirit.

For all we know brian carney could have been working extremely hard on his fitness since his last appearance knowing a return to league was likely
