He'd still be non fed and we have no available spots

Citizenship etc. doesn't matter, there is no 'quota' anymore. It's fed & Non-fed trained now.

We have -

Pritchard
Tuimavave
Fonua
Manu
Micheals
Talanoa
Minchiello

One of those will have to leave, we've only just signed 4 of them and I can't see us getting rid of Mini or Talanoa, so it would have to be Michaels. Maybe Cas will take him? Or Wakey on loan?

heard michaels cant get a new visa not claiming its true just what i was told

On what basis?
No criminal record, not done anything wrong whilst he's here. Not getting a visa on some pony excuse when they hand out visas to soccer players left right and centre would be poor in extremis.
The club wouldn't have renewed his contract if there was a problem surely?

Maybe just as simple as , michaels goes to cas, not a bad deal for them if Carneys never going to play for them again anyway

Cash plus Whiting and Thompson for Carney

Is one of them giving him their birth certificate?

Whiting has denied it on twitter, would be gutted to see Whiting leave, still has a lot to offer but it very injury prone.

Not too bothered about Thompson, has his great moments, but consistent enough and too small for prop.

I really hope we sign Carney though, would give is a very good looking side for next year:

I expect he'll fit right in

With other good players, I hope you're right.

Whiting and Thompson would still not free up the non fed place. It comes down to Michael's if true. Thompson ain't gonna be on big wage and he's probably one of the 'every team needs cheap players with effort' players. At a push I reckon it would be Michael's and cash or whiting but I hope not.

I reckon Thompson will be on good money, as we will have paid him well to leave Cas. His role as a squad player should be the likes of Turgut, Hadley and Downs.

It has to be Michaels to be released or used in part exchange I agree.

I think the rumour of our interest has legs despite the obvious logistical challenges. But it's a complicated scenario for all parties. Carney's clearly crossed a line big time at Cas.

We lack size and aggression in the three quarters, so he'd be a great fit from that perspective. His discipline's poor but as others have stated he wasn't brought to disciplinary last year so has a handy EGP at the ready. It would be a risky signing, certainly. But maybe the club feel the potential rewards of a player that averages 130metres gained per game are worth it. I could be wrong, but I think his try return in SL is 56 from 56? Can that be right? No idea what will happen but definitely an interesting one.
