Todd carney has been released by the sydney roosters a year early from his contract ??? apparantly the catalans wanted him,but couldnt fit him under their salary cap ! so wigan have signed him as a direct replacement 4 deakin...who will take up his coachinr role option.........good move r bad..?????? i think hes a terrific attacking player.thoughts.....

Link? Proof? Evidence?

Thought coming to the UK was out of the question as he would not get a Visa due to past misdemeanour's.

Visa.

Having listened to the thoughts of the footie show last week, if he can focus on footie rather than drink, he will be a champion. Despite his recent 'problems', several of the NRL clubs were very interested in making room under the salary cap for him. If this is true it will make up for the other two signings, Daffyd and the one nobody can spell. Please be true, and is he doing anything this weekend?

apparently
Denied a working visa in the UK due to his criminal conviction, Carney is reportedly considering joining the French-based European Super League team, the Catalans or current NRL side, North Queensland Cowboys

Look back far enough, they've all got them!

Cowboys - no, Panthers - no, Catalans - no, Sharks - Next Last Chance, Wigan - 2010 Daily M Medal winner - Yes please!!!

So we have to go that far back to name a 'project' signing that has worked. I don't even think I was even around when any of those players were first signed - perhaps Terry O'Connor. However all this does is just further illustrate my point. These 'project' signings people go on about have not worked under Ian Lenagan. That's not say one wont work, however the merits of signing a 27 year old quota player as a 'project' signing is going to come under some scrutiny.

Im hearing this todd carney rumour everywhere. If we can sort out the visa issues how good would backs of

Sam
Charnley
Joel
Carmont
Richards
Carney
Finch

be. Wow.

Is Carmont not classed as a 'project' signing?

...Andy Coley was one in my opinion. That turned out ok.
