Elite sportsmen and women are just the same as us, they make errors of judgement. We don't know what went on and it's none of our business anyway. I would be prepared to give Carney a second chance. For all those haughty naysayers that are hostile toward the possible signing, don't be so naive to think that he's the first professional rugby player to 'play away from home' with another player wife/girlfriend. Some of the greatest were sods off the field, my old Dad was a taxi driver ion Hull for 25 years and he could tell you some stories!

IMO we should give the guy a break. If he comes to Hull he has at least my full support at least.

Carney is one of the best wingers in the league. If we get a chance we should sign him. He would add

He won't be the first and he certainly won't be the last bloke to do something a bit daft. But thats his personal business and thats were it should be left IMO.

Ha yeh, can't imagine radford does it for every player we sign, don't think anyone is suggesting that. Smiggs does have a point though.

I've been told that carney has met with all of the wives and partners of our squad and decided not to sign for us

Haha I knew we should of kept westerman

Seeing linehams mrs the other night he should be looking for a move to wire

So which overseas player are we going to release in order to sign Carney?

Can't see us signing him but would love it if we could. Unless cas was prepared to take maybe micheals and cash don't see how else we could pull it off. Maybe through whiting in as well although i'd hate to see him leave. Still one of my all time favourites but for what carney would do for our attack i'd take it

Michaels as had his visa revoked! Carneys in

Someones wife

At a guess I'd say Michaels as he's only on a 1 year contract and Pearson will have to pay him off.

The irony of some people calling Westerman a bad egg earlier in the thread and then lauding the signing of Carney just shows them up for being the daft sods they are.

Has carney done anything other than bang his team mate's missus? Is he renowned for drinking when he shouldn't or anything like that?

I hope your not including me in that, I don't think I've ever slated westerman for his of the field activities, far as I'm concerned a rugby player can drink 10 pints a night if they turn up match day and perform well, obviously in this age of rugby that's hard to do. I've always thought westerman is average and I'll stick by that.

Agreed. It's sport, supporters turn their morals off.
