Rumour: Roosters offer Todd Carney 3 year deal

[roosterproud]

for one season together Robbo stuck his neck out for toddy and got him the gig at The Catalans. he is conracted for 3 more yrs. I really like toddy as a player but I really don't waqnt the media camped out fron of the roosters club and every night club in 20 ks of toddy house. I can boyd having a lot to do with this and if it comes true toddy will more than likely live with boyd.

With all the leg injuries it'd be like signing Justin Hodges! Only a couple of years younger.

And he'll also be turning 30 middway through next season.

This would be far more likely to end in disaster than success.

Im thinking this is a bit of gamesmanship from...someone.

We don't need to go back to the well with Toddy... In fact it would make us look quite silly.

And I don't think we will anyway.

Money better spent elsewhere.

Imagine him and Fergo??

[Tommy Smith]

So apparently he's out for a few weeks with a quad injury.

He's totally busted and not worth a cent.

[Billy Gunn]

no thanks, Todd is a professional victim, nothing is ever his fault

It is definitely a gee up, notice how no one is even willing to put their name to the article. It is not even April fools yet..

Into his third injury already this season and how many games has he played? 3 or 4? Yeah why not give him a 7 year deal?

Carney's manager on 2016 #NRL return: "I can tell you quite categorically we have not had an approach from the Roosters re Todd Carney"

Can't see this happening.

never a victim only a volunteer

[John Corey]

Beside the fact he is a belter with a drinking problem, signing him means Maloney is no longer here. Therefore it is a ridiculous idea. Maloney is worth more to this Club.
Todd Carney had one good season with us. In 2011 he was horrible and he has been in the decline ever since. Rooster 6 you are obviously rating him over 1 season and 1 season only. 2010.
It would be diabolical to have this lunatic return.

im glad I don't have to make this decision, I tend to think jimmy bbq is currently the better option even though he is aging a bit for a 5/8 he brings that mature attitude to the team now we no longer have mini, that's something wed never have with toddy!

WHISPERS of a Todd Carney return to the NRL in 2016 have now turned into screams with reports emerging the Roosters may be planning a sensational play for the five-eighth who they sacked just under four years ago.


Carney, who recently won a wrongful dismissal case against the Sharks, is likely to be given the green light to return to NRL if he adheres to strict behavioural guidelines.
Despite being sacked by the club in 2011 for a string of misdemeanors, the playmaker is still admired by Roosters supremo Nick Politis and has a strong relationship with coach Trent Robinson who was an assistant to Brian Smith in Carney’s Dally M-winning season in 2010.

It is believed certain Roosters officials have reached out to Carney and are reportedly planning to engage in formal talks with the 28-year-old’s Super League Club Catalans about the possibility of an early release from his three-year deal.

Robinson also has strong ties to the French-based outfit having coached there for two seasons between 2011-2012.

The Roosters premiership-winning five-eighth James Maloney is off-contract at season’s end and has attracted the interest of a number of clubs, primarily Manly.

Maloney and his management have only engaged in preliminary contract talks with the club and is seeking a long-term deal to remain at Bondi.
The Sea Eagles have also been linked with Carney as they hunt down a superstar half to build the club around following the shock departures of Daly Cherry-Evans and Kieran Foran at season’s end.

If the Roosters are to capture Carney’s signature it would be a major coup for a club who already boasts the most talented roster in the NRL.
It would also see Carney reunite with Mitchell Pearce in the halves. The talented duo not only helped take the Roosters all the way to the grand final in 2010 but also represented NSW in Origin in 2012.

In his time at the Tri-colours, Carney racked up 44 games and scored a total of 316 points.

Surely this article is taking the piss

Outside of Jonathan Thurston he's without a shadow of a doubt IMO the most naturally gifted 5/8 of this generation.

The pros and cons have already been well outlined here, he's not going to cost as much as Maloney but he has had a very poor run with injuries over the past few seasons. So it's a tough one.

At the end of the day though if Robbo wants to back himself to bring him back to the club I say Welcome Home Toddy. They only ever spent one season together (2010) and not much more needs to be said about that.

There are some bad eggs that we can't fix and some we can. This guy we cannot fix. He's just another Ben Cousins. Has been repetitively given the boot wherever he goes.

I rate him based on his whole career, which long predates 2010 and long succeeds it too. Like I said the injuries would be the biggest issue for mine, there's no doubt it has affected his running game which is such a huge part of who he is as a player so it's definitely a big concern.

I don't agree with the premise that he's declined though, players don't just loose their ability in their mid 20's. I rebutted the same arguments made throughout 2011 & 2012 when players like Friend, Pearce & Aubusson were getting attacked for poor team performances. Ability doesn't just disappear or decline in your mid 20's, circumstances affect performance more than gradual decline ever does.

This. Wouldn't get within bubbling distance of the retard.

Chook.
