It was done. Marwan and his cash would of been irrelevant at this stage. Michaels to wakey was done the lot. It's been nigh on done for a bit. We've worked hard to make it work.

| Quote ="Faithful One"A bit torn with this one. Carney would have been a great signing, and one which would have completed our squad. But, is it really worth the risk of causing any sort of rift in the camp in such a big year for the club? Whether its one player or ten, people would start to take sides.
Hopefully this will mean Lancaster gets more of a chance of getting into the first team this year, and look how well that's worked out for Logan.
Plus, it means we can sing the Stevie Michaels Party song again.'"
All the coaches, Pearson and a lot/most the squad wanted it to happen.
Carney is still with the woman in all this so wasn't like a 1 night thing theres other factors to that made the coaches comfortable with it. Other than this incident Carney is generally regarded by those that know him a good kid so it's not like he was gonna be a massive disruption. The coaches would've happily signed him.
Shaul
Talanoa
Logan
Tuamuavai
Fonua is how I imagine we'll line up now
I personally think it be hard to get a decent player in. It's Nov nearly. I'd rather go in with the cash spare and try pick up a mid season bargain than fill the spot for the sake of it
Lancaster starting the year on loan I think. Bradford I've heard

Why would we go the trouble agreeing contracts, loaning a player out, then to let a player decide we aint signing him.
I just don't believe it. More likely Carney got a better offer from Salford and chose them

I bumped into Jamie Shaul out and about on Tuesday afternoon - I asked him about Carney and he said exactly that it was down to Jordan Thompson and how comfortable he was about it. That was straight from his mouth, I can only tell you what he told me, now he may be lying to cover the fact that Carney just got a better offer from Salford and chose them, but I seriously doubt that.

That's fair enough, no reason not to believe it. I very much doubt it was a done deal then

| so basically we have to thank an average prop/second rower for missing out on a potentially prolific winger. Great

Jordan would have left IMO if Carney came through family loyalty. This probably sat uncomfortably with some of the other players. It would have done with me. Then imagine something happens, things like this get dragged up and all of a sudden you have a dressing room in disharmony.
If this is actually what happened, I can personally do nothing but applaud the club for being open and honest with the players and asking their opinion

Agree. Whilst is disappointing a player of Carney's calibre won't be joining us, if this is the process the club took I'm in full backing of it.
We had a similar situation at my amateur club where the coaches asked us whether we'd be happy with a player joining us. 99% of the time a new player would just turn up training and be welcomed into the fold with no questions asked, but the player in question we knew of, he played for us a few years earlier, left under a cloud and pi$$ed a lot of people off.
Before anyone says it, yes, there's a huge difference between professional and amateur sport, but I think the point still stands regarding keeping team spirit and morale. In a sport like rugby league where your putting your bodies on the line for each other, where communication across the line is vital, your living in each others pockets etc, a rift in the team can be catastrophic.

Spot on for me. I've posted something similar on another thread before I read this one.

Exactly. If this is what has happened then I think the club has handled this very well. I know some people were saying when the rumours were floating around about the vote that it was a joke we was doing it but I think it's been the right call as it's a somewhat unique situation and it involves one of our players.

I phoned up a while back and was told that I couldn't sign up for the membership and get the FC Live discount over the phone. I've being into store today whilst I'm up and sorted it though there was another issue that I didn't want to kick up a fuss whilst there and have contacted the club directly.
It'd be so much easier to do the whole lot online just ticking a check box for what you want to purchase and pay directly then collect the pack whenever.

| Lets hope the enigmatic "someone" in the shop is more reliable than the narcissistic who supposedly counts Rovers busses as reported by JTP and company. That apart I do reckon Pearson's ploy of not denying the Carney rumours has sold more passes than the "impending" doom posts frighteners.

Evening Cocker. Does it really matter what motivates our fanbase to procure their memberships? With you,Oafy and Unhinged Mary twitching away tonight it clearly rankles.
You know the difference between a noun and an adjective, right? Being a monomaniacal.

Or maybe the price freeze deadline has something to do with it.
Couldn't be that simple, could it?
It has to be some sort of skulduggery by Pearson, doesn't it?
