| I know he's still young but I've said for a while that Fages is one of the most overrated players around. I've never seen what other people seem to see. You don't really expect a half of his age to be able to boss a game, but you want them to show signs and to have all the raw ingredients. For me his passing game is fairly average, his kicking is very poor, he is pretty tricky on his feet without being exceptionally quick or elusive, and he lacks size to boot (not the first thing you look for in a half admittedly, but in the modern game of ultra athletes you need him to at least be able to hold his own). An average bottom half of the table half back for me.

We did sign the same player......

You genuinely can't see why some people might be a bit sceptical about this signing?

Or they could just think a serial offender who the NRL have banned is bad for the game. Perhaps all you can see, or want to see, is tribalism. Others may have different criteria.

I saw the photo (on Bali?) with a once convicted smuggler. Do you have a link explaining the association rather than 'posing for a photo'? Cheers.

| Come on guys surely our dour SL competition needs class players like Carney does it not?
The fact that he is now shopping in the bargain basement of SL clubs shouldn't need this uproar from disgruntled Giants fans that feel rejected from previously being rejected a visa for him
It's gonna be a Bitch fight to avoid the middle 8's this season without a doubt and imo there will be 7 clubs involved

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| I've given up predicting or hoping that we will be the club to finally turn this type of player around, and I no longer care, all I hope for is that Todd Carney plays great for us with no problems whilst he's here, if he does cause problems he will go the way of Hock/Locke/Chase/Smith etc etc.
Over the last few years we have had some halfbacks that have gone on to other clubs - Holdsworth/SmithM/SmithT/Sneyd/Myler/Robinson/Fages/Ratchford, the only one I wish never left was Ratchford but they all move on so for now I'll take Carney/Dobson and Lui not a bad combo.
One thing I do know is he is unplayable on his day and there isn't a Super League club that he wouldn't be first choice at.

I really thought he'd tear it up when he signed at Cats but whether its injuries or that he's not that good anymore I just don't know. I agree on his day he can be unplayable its just I can't remember the last time he had his day.
Maybe this move will be great for him but I'd not put my mortgage on it.

Reputable news website reports injuries and off field behaviour as reasons for Carney and Taylor leaving. As both played most games then behaviour is a more likely reason.
Carney's past record has been drink / drunkenness and then many anti social behaviours linked to intoxicated states. Serious driving offences and vile behaviour.
Banned by the NRL....we don't need this waster in SL.

| Cameron Scott - Bradford to Hull FC
Has been signed into the 1st team squad, so thought I would post it. Rumoured to have a lot of potential

Highly rated by Bradford fans but nothing on our official website confirming his signing.

Probably most sought after junior in country for his age, had everyone after him before resigning for our academy for this year. Hell of a lot of potential hope hes in the right place for him to realise it, thats not saying he isnt just dont know much about your structures but young lads seem to be getting a good chance at Hull now. Good luck to the lad
