Carney and Williams at half back would win Catalans silverware.
Carney would be the best player at the Dragons and also in Super League.
I hope he signs for you!

At risk of us becoming something of a rehab clinic for naughty Aussies, I must confess that I would not complain about us signing Carney.

I was thinking the opposite.

It worked so well with Greg Bird that we couldn't be so lucky again.

But there was a reason it worked for Bird, the chance to get away from the influences and issues that were causing the problems back in Aus - it is a world away from the vicious media over there. Honestly I think it could work.

How many forinners are we going to end up with? And while Jon may have a point re Bird, isn't Carney a different case.
Are we a rugby club or a rehab centre anyway?

Willie Tonga signs up. Can't see us having room on the cap for him and Carney, so that's probably an end to this one.

Pryce is leaving and he will be on a fair wage.
Isn't Brent Webb also out of contract this year, or did you manage to unload him?
Either way there's plenty salary cap space between those two.

My gut feeling is that Dureau won't be back next year. It seems too convenient him seeing out the season down under on loan. That would see Pryce, Dureau and Webb off the salary cap for next year - arguably the Dragons' three highest earners.

I'm not saying they will sign Carney but that is a good wedge to play with for 2015.

I had that feeling about Scott, but everyone I speak to with a connection to the corridors of power at Gilbert Brutus are confident he is coming back.
