at least it was his honest opinion. i personally prefer that than pundits who sit on the fence like politicians

why would wakey, cas, widnes fans be any different to us?

Just moved past it but to be fair they've got to keep to timings, news clips, adverts etc they can't just stop and go 'Hang on, explain further...' and have a 5 minute debate un-scheduled.

disgusted with how carney spoke,totally disrespectful,what a dick,talking about dicks phil clarke just sat there looking smug as always.

I was recently told that a certain person at head quarters advised that:
We would not get rid of developing teams
We would not get rid of the so called big clubs
We would not get rid the only team in manchester
The hull derby is too big to lose
This only leaves castleford and wakefield
they would not get rid of both of them , so swap Wakefield for Widnes and that is that

Only way now to super league is if they increase the numbers
Which means we will stay as we are

Just watched it an what an arrogant t#*$t who does he think he is to comment this club has just as much chance as anyone else! We qualified the criteria chilli con careny wheather u like it or not you muppet! Come on FAX

The thing is , a programme like B n A should not be discussing off field matters , it shows what a load of bollox Licencing is when it is part of the conversation on a show like that

Having said that , you have no chance , as I posted a few weeks back , you are being used to make an elimination contest into an application contest , nothing else

This.

And this.

Some people have really got their knickers in a twist about this havnt they. All he has stated is just about what every clued up fan already knows. To say we have as much chance as anyone else is just naive. You really think we start on a level playing field with someone like Crusaders. Realistically they are the team whos place we will be threatening. Still think we have a chance?

I dont think we have a chance, but its the manner in which he did this which is in question. If there was a debate going on about superleague applications and his opinion was debated by all in the studio it would have been understandable, howeve this was not the case it was talking about Brian Noble and Eddie just threw in the comment "dont forget that Halifax are still in the mix for Superleague come July" and Carney sticks foot well and truly into gob and says "No, No, No they are not, I am ruling them out completely". This took Eddie by surprise, but no further debate was forthcoming.

Carney just made himself look a fool......

He probably doesn't like ' toeing the party line ' and discussing something like ' franchise applications ' isn't where he is at , its got bugger all to do with RL , he also probably sees it for what it is , just Fax being used to give a proccess some strange sort of credibility

Weren't you lot all saying the same think a few weeks back? Tbh only since licence day has the SL bug caught on here...

Not moaning, is better to be positive and your in with a half decent chance IMO, unlikely, but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes at RFL or any bidding clubs!

Have you been drinking ? , Bit early for the cider even in Widnes isn't it ?

haven't even re-read comment but expected that response as wrote it whilst chatting about footy so paying 0 attention resly, haha.

Maybe he should be asked to explain his comments. Im not reading that as he is slagging the club off. Maybe he is saying that as though he knows its a closed shop when it shouldnt be.

Its not so much that hes insulted the club, but when people have worked really hard over the last 3 years putting are bid together why does he feel like he has to reapeatedly say tht we have no chance of getting a franchise in july?? Its an insult to the people who have all that time putting the bid together isn't it??
