Didn't realise he was that powerful. I would say he hasn't a hope in hell and if I was Carney I would be licking my lips at a possible restraint of trade lawsuit.

I think Hetherington would be better spending his time preparing his defence for his RFL charge for gobbing off the other week.

Yeah, funny how NO ONE had that opinion for hardaker.

Hetherington runs the RFL so he can say whetever the f*ck he wants and theres nothing you can do about it.

You really are a tool

Another storm in a tea cup.
Hopefully he helps take Catalan to the next level

A lawsuit aint the only reason Carney will be licking his lips.

That is actually quite funny, why didn't you start with that remark?

We've had plenty of our own do stupid things over the years. Some may have even played for Leeds. Shock Horror

Poor from Hethrington if true. Like OP said, it's nothing to do with him. I don't see how Carney will tarnish SL's reputation any more that what Hardaker, Ryan Bailey, Chev Walker did.

Let me get this straight. A club boss who has just been charged with "improper conduct...a breach of operational rules...by engaging in conduct which is prejudicial to the interests of the game", feels it is right and proper to try and influence other clubs to speak out against a club hiring a player because it might "tarnish the competition's reputation"?

Oh sweet irony.

I bet there were more than a few chuckles as emails were opened at SL clubs today.

[iIt's not the first time Hetherington has hit out at the Super League club's signing of an axed NRL star.
He was a vocal critic when Catalan signed Australian Test star Greg Bird in 2009 after he had been released by Cronulla as he faced charges over an alleged assault.
"It is disappointing that a club should want to sign him," Hetherington said at the time.[/i
