According to Terry O'Connor we have made him a massive offer. Oh cock!

and according to totalrl twitter he is on his way to catalan. to talk over a four year deal and catalan coach has stated they are in talks with him and his agent about a deal but nothing has being signed yet. would be a great signing for kr if we ever did have a chance, he can get a visa now its being 5 years.but he would have to calm his silly off field antics, same if we ever really thought of signing hock

We certainly are trying for the lad ......

so if were trying to sign him, then why has mike smith flown to aus. when carney was photoed at airport ready to fly in to talk with catalans.. and who is the hooker were after to replace josh.. and with chester saying keating isn't happy will he be on his way too i hope so

As allways. Us fans are the last to know.

Who should be told last then?

The much maligned Hull Daily Mail did tell us a month ago[i 'Although Burns’ departure would leave a big hole to fill in the half-backs for next season, if he does go, it is understood that Rovers would be keen to bring in controversial Cronulla Sharks half-back Todd Carney.'[/i.

You may have seen him playing tonight.

Roby??? yes please

With lunt, carney and hock in the side you'll be nailed on for the top 8, pushing the 4

Or, we will close down Craven Park and play home games from Red Hall due to most of the players being there.

Besides, if all RLfans rumours are now taken as gospel, Hull FC will be in the top 8 of the global populations league, just above Brazil.

Not aware that Carney or Lunt have any on field issues...

An on form Carney would be the best half back in the league by a distance...

On the field Carney is a much better version of Burns.

Off the field Carney is a much, much worse version of Burns.

Well if we do get him and its a big if we will build a cage at craven park and keep him on the field sorted

Would be an amazing signing IMO. Both or either. I would not understand though why hudds would let Lunt go?

Maybe they see jamie ellis as an adequate replacement and want the cash?

was wondering if roopy can give us a low down on chris sandow from paramatta, also i heard today and if people believe me or not it is upto them. that mike smith went over to aus to sign chris sandow and paramatta paid a percentage of his wage for a year. also travis burns will be announced this week that he is leaving for saints.and apparently we have four more players signing it is chris sandow, tommy lee, but don't know the other two yet but i would of liked to see carney in a kr shirt but, kr being sensible and signing players without baggage for a change.. i know one who isn't signing and that is gareth hock the same guy told me kris keating wont be at kr next season and they have lined up a replacement already so it is all i have heard we will just have to wait and see what unfolds in the coming weeks and see how much is true

This isn't meant as trolling, but it does seem that both Hull clubs have a bit of a problem with players going off the rails. Didn't you guys sack a couple of players for off-field antics already this season? I'm really not sure Carney would be a good move for either you or the player. Sure, as a player Carney would be a great signing for you, but on the flip side if he can't control himself off the pitch what might that do to your season?

At least he might be funny.

This season has been devoid of anything.

I'll say it now, I already dislike him, and hope he'll bubble off quick smart.

Sandow's main off field issue seems to be a gambolling addiction that has seen him waste most of the big money he has earnt from playing. He has a bit of depression associated with that, as well as family issues.
His defence is a bit suspect. His missed tackle count is usually pretty high.
In attack he is very involved and has a lot of X factor and individual brilliance.
If you end up with a Sandow/Burns halves partnership, they both come from the same region of outback Queensland, so they could share their Slim Dusty records and talk about Bull riding and pig shooting together.
As a player he has been in and out of favour with various coaches over time. Some love the X factor he gives in attack that leads to a lot of good tries, but any coach trying to put together a strong defence gets sick of the way he gets targeted and misses a lot of tackles.
He also falls out with coaches over his form, which can be very hot and cold, influenced by his off field issues I think.
At his best he is a better version of Scotty Dureau. He can put something on in the blink of an eye at any time.

Is there any players left who haven't got issues

Cheers roopy,anyone you've spotted in the halves worth a look ? What I have seen of blake austin,he looks class,but I believe somebodys signed him from the tigers.

If Catalans sign Carney you might find Scott Dureau on the market. He is in fantastic form in NSW cup. A very strong Knights side just beat Newtown a few weeks ago and Dureau easily outplayed Dobson and nearly got them the win.

Cheers mate,nice to know dureau is back to full fitness.

Lea Cats claim to have reached agreement with Todd .......
