No he will let us all down
Yes he is great footballer
I say sign him..
Give him a contract like birds, 1 yr options in the clubs favour..
Be straight with the sponsors, fans, media and carney.. We will give you a chance, if you stuff up your contract will be terminated.. you have the choice
And let the bloke still have a few beers here and there in moderation is fine.. the kid is in his 20's just wants to have some fun.
the concerns about him with bird and myles I can understand but Bird is also on 1 yr contract extensions in the clubs favour aswell.. and after seeing what has happened to carney I doubt he will want to dip his footy into that kind of media storm again.
Myles we just have to hope that he cleans up his act and plays some good footy..
As i said sign him up.. 1 yr options in the clubs favour with clauses stating they can easily turf him.
What we were missing in season 2011.... a natural ball player who can read the game well.

that ability at a discount rate.. I say yes
I agree totally give him a contract exactly like Bird's and don't have restrictions on his drinking. Have the leadership group sit down and talk to him about it.
I think the Titans are the only club that would be able to help Todd to turn his life around. They have proved in the past with Walker and Bird that they can do it.
If we were to sign him (can't see it happening to be honest), I'd play him at 5/8 rather than fullback.

I do like him as a player, but do we want to take on the risk? Out of interest, does Bird get in trouble anymore? (We don't get local gossip over here in NZ)
Carney = short term success long term heart ache if not delt with the same respect as the rest of the players. A drinking ban will make him not drink as much but will when he does it will make him binge, respect and a casual drink is what a 20 year old should be receiving and hopefully we can change him
Limited options
TODD Carney keeps being linked to the Sharks. This column keeps hearing the Titans.
Gold Coast boss Michael Searle hardly dismissed it yesterday. "We've shown in the last five years that we're well suited to handle players facing some challenges, with the likes of Chris Walker and Greg Bird," Searle said. "Just because we're on the Gold Coast, it doesn't mean the players come here and engage in drunken orgies. What has happened with Todd in the past wouldn't count against him.
"David Riolo (Carney's manager) knows my number if he's interested. "While the Titans salary cap for next season is full, they could be a lifeline if Carney wants one.
He might need it. Catalans is evaporating as an option. Carney has had conversations on a personal level with coach Trent Robinson - a former assistant under Brian Smith at the Roosters - but our French connections say that's as far as it's gone.
