Titans: Rate our own Brian Carney's Tri-Nations performances
Brian Carney, the third ever Gold Coast Titan signing, kicks off his Tri-Nations campaign tomorrow morning (4.00am AEST) against the New Zealanders in what will be Great Britains first appearance in the 2005 series.

Use this thread to discuss his performances over the coming weeks as Great Britain look to unsurp the Australians as well hold off the resurging Kiwis.
Carney will be a key figure on the wing for the poms, he will not only finish any opportunity that comes his way, he will be in the middle helping out the forwards as all the great ones do.
I have $10 on him to be first try scorer tonight ;)

hahaha exactly
I know how to put the mock on someone, to put it nicely, Brian Carney played poorly last night. This was easily the worst performance I have seen from the GB winger in any jersey and his game ended after 62 minutes when pulled from the field by Brian Noble.
Carney will have nightmares about Vanu Vatuvei who scored only the one try according to the history books though should have had three in my opinion. Two dubious decisions from the video referee saved Carney further embarassment.
Carney spilt 2 bombs, threw one shocking pass 7m from his try line and was often caught out in defence. If he is selected for the Australian game, Darren Lockyer will send ALOT of traffic his way and Matt Cooper (who will be left centre) will see ALOT of ball.
On a positive, Carney did make 73m for the GB team though it lacked any real impact.
Out of 10 tonight, I give Brian Carney 4.

Well said, exactly the way I would have put it (but less detailed :p ). I really hope for his sake and GB's sake that he plays to his potential next week, because he is a great player on his day. Unfortunately, today wasn't his day.
3.5-4/10

I Watched the first half he was a joke droping two high ball not tackling not getting in right postions for kicks and tackles i was sad to see this i would give him for his first half perfommance 0.5 out of 10 no joke i normally rate him really high but that was just poor
i don't think we will see 2 performances like that in a row from him.look for him to bounce back against us in front of his home crowd at the mighty JJB.
provided noble picks him that is!

I dont really want to bad him to much seen as he is one of the Titans signings.
I would rate him 0 out of 10.
As a winger myself....thats as bad as its gets. When you have to burn an interchange on your winger because he is playing so poorly....I cant give that a rating of anything.
See, thats me nt bagging someone. You should see me when I hook in! :D
We have ;)

haahhahaha bad cop bad cop what you gonna do whatcha gonna do when he comes for YOU!!
Brian Carney thankfully gets the chance to redeem himself as he has been selected in the GB squad and is likely to retain his place given the make up for the 19 man team named.
Let's support our man Brian Carney (DO NOT SUPPORT GB LIONS OR FACE SUSPENSION j/k or am I? ;) )this weekend and hope he plays a brilliant game in the GB's loss to Australia :)
In all seriousness (as per link in sig) I think Carney can and will bounce back from the nightmare he lived last weekend.

Think there is a chance that Aus will run Gaz at him a few times this game?

Is the pope catholic? :laugh:
I think we will see Matt Cooper heading his way more often though as Carney defends on the right wing and Cooper is our left centre.
In short, Carney is in for ALOT of work on Sunday morning and we will target the left hand side of the field for the majority of the 80 minutes.

Match isn't over yet, but I have to say our Carney has had a fantastic match!
He is all class to bounce back so well. Just what we want at the Titans.
CARNEY! CARNEY! CARNEY! :thumbsup:
Brian Carney bounced back this morning as I expected he would after a poor showing vs the NZ side. Carney was no M.O.M., though he was solid in all facets of play and answer all questions posed to him by the Australian team.
Carney had 18 hitups for 144m (3rd only to Wellens 149m and Fielden 145m for GB) and repaid the faith shown in him by Brian Noble.
7.5 out of 10

Carney left last week behind him and played extremely well. Took some hit-ups away from the forwards which really helped GB. 8/10
For the first match i would give him a 2/10.
For the 2nd match i would give him a 7/10.
He improved a lot, but it is not as though he could have done any worse, good on him for bouncing back.
I was over the moon for him when watching the game. He copped it from all angles and his so called 'fans' in GB turned on him as quick as you could say 'he will bounce back'. Pretty disappointing display though perhaps expected in the UK to a degree.
I hope he can get on the scoreboard next test as well in their third straight loss for the series ;)

You must remember Carney is Irish and you called the fans, GB fans (which they are) so is it any wonder they will turn on a perceived foreigner.

Well the team is called the Great Britain and Ireland Lions.
Or as us Roos fans like to call them, Great Britain and Carney. :laugh:

Trust me on this one, if you ask an english man what the name of the team is, they will reply - the british lions.
Brian Carney as expected bounced back last week and tonight is simply icing on the cake despite leaving the field after 33-35 minutes.
After 22 minutes he makes a great run from his own in-goal after NZ knock on...
After 26 minutes he finishes a smart short side play scoring off a good Chev Walker ball...
After 34 minutes he scores a great individual try taking GB to 22-0.
8 hit-ups for 152m, well done to Brian Carney :thumbsup:
Carney's biggest critics were GB supporters, thankfully for GB Noble showed faith in his vice-captain as he has put two good test matches back-to-back justifying his ranking as a world class rugby league winger.
Tonights rating, 8 out of 10.

Just hope the hamstring is alright, it always seems to dog him just when he is hitting top form.

9/10 - Awesome game and would have come very close to getting MOTM if he had have played the full 80 mins.
9/10 - He played really well, to bad he got injured.

Did anyone else notice the reaction after Carneys second try by his so-called team mates?
The front on view shows it best, Its a ordinary reaction as they must have wanted him to go closer to the posts to score, but to be fair he just ran 80 meters and beat 3 players to get there.
Brian Carney picked up his third try for the Tri-Nations this morning in another uality performance from the Titans bound winger.
I still have to laugh at the GB "fans" who wrote him off after his shocker in the opening game, Carney has been amongst their best for the past three tests which is saying something in a pretty ordinary backline.
10 tackles - 17 hitups for 137m and a good try bumping off BK. Also was solid under the highball despite being outjumped by Matt King on a couple of occasions.
7 out of 10

Carney had a good game. The thing that sticks in my mind was the hit on Kennedy when he scored the try.
and now he can hopefully get himself fully fit and raring to go for the knights next year.
"johns cut out ball to carney...........TRYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!"
oh i can see it already.
