It was murder yesterday it took me at least 2 minutes and 30 seconds to renew mine and my lad's passes over the phone.
I just used plain English - maybe that's a challenge for bumpy.

Well. Be no passes sold on back of Carney.
Signing for Salford
we had it done. Terms agreed. Permit. Loan to wakey for michaels. Pearson. Radders. Lots of the squad wanted him. Effectively it was 1 player who's stopped it. Personally I'm gutted.

That's a shame. He would've been a big hit with us.

Hopefully we have someone else in the pipeline as the three quarters is a bit light.

That was the 'talk' last night, very late intervention from Marwan waiving cash. Would just add that his agent (who is also Shannon McDonnell's) apparently doesn't like us much either!

Don't want to sound rude, but I don't believe a word of that. Sounds like the usual spin to me. As if we'd of let 1 player put a stop to signing him a squad player at that. Carney would of had a massive boost on ticket and merchandise sales. Personally don't think this was ever going to happen, if what you say, is what is actually coming out of the club.

So you're saying we never made an enquiry or discussed terms, and that players weren't asked about it? OK then.

Disappointing from a playing perspective he's gone elsewhere. We're a quality three quarter short.

Im not sure whats happened, but I very much doubt 1 player as put a stop to the signing. Just very disappointed

A bit torn with this one. Carney would have been a great signing, and one which would have completed our squad. But, is it really worth the risk of causing any sort of rift in the camp in such a big year for the club? Whether its one player or ten, people would start to take sides.

Hopefully this will mean Lancaster gets more of a chance of getting into the first team this year, and look how well that's worked out for Logan.

Plus, it means we can sing the Stevie Michaels Party song again.

and I did say, if that is whats coming from the club. We've only got a forum members word for that

or have

It was done. Marwan and his cash would of been irrelevant at this stage. Michaels to wakey was done the lot. It's been nigh on done for a bit. We've worked hard to make it work.

All the coaches, Pearson and a lot/most the squad wanted it to happen.
Carney is still with the woman in all this so wasn't like a 1 night thing theres other factors to that made the coaches comfortable with it. Other than this incident Carney is generally regarded by those that know him a good kid so it's not like he was gonna be a massive disruption. The coaches would've happily signed him.

Shaul
Talanoa
Logan
Tuamuavai
Fonua is how I imagine we'll line up now

I personally think it be hard to get a decent player in. It's Nov nearly. I'd rather go in with the cash spare and try pick up a mid season bargain than fill the spot for the sake of it

Lancaster starting the year on loan I think. Bradford I've heard

Why would we go the trouble agreeing contracts, loaning a player out, then to let a player decide we aint signing him.
I just don't believe it. More likely Carney got a better offer from Salford and chose them

Lancaster and Reece Dean both going out on loan

Reese Dean a new 1 then. Cos as of last week him and Harry t w were being bumped up to the 23s.
Heard lancaster tho. Think fash downs turgut all going on loans to
