Warriors officials today denied reports that Brian Carney may return to the club in a swap deal that would see winger Pat Richards return to the Gold Coast.
Titans managing director Michael Searle, who holds the Irishman's registration, hinted he may allow Carney to relaunch his Super League career after he walked out on the NRL club.
i said as soon as carney said he wanted to leave that maurice lindsay was up to his old tricks again he just gets away with things all the time i recon he has enticed carney to stay but tell me how will they fit him in there salery cap . remember last year they lost 2games for overstepping the salary cap the year before,,, and its common knolege that they did it again midway through last season to avoid relegation
I for one would love to see Big Pat come to the coast. He played awesome with Princey in 05, and let's not forget how he finished off one of the all time great Grand Final tries after the flick pass from Benji Marshall. He has a huge fend, and is not scared to take some heat off the forwards with some powerfull running.
I saw mention that his line drop out kicks were 60 metres.... more like 70-75 metres. Huge boot - that almost scares the receiving team!!!.
I would love to see him here - aparently he has not set the SL on fire though - hope he goes ok

Why did you even bother to get on the plane Brian.
As for acted proffesionally and should be commended..... THATS B.S. Its a typical comment from people that sits on the fence and don't want to upset the wrong people.
At the end of the day he has wasted alot of peoples time. Don't say anything else, Get back to where it is you want to be and Thanks for nothing.
All I can say is....
WALKERS ON!!!!!!!!!
OMG... I think I have picked this like a dirty nose. I smelt a snake. Do you guys still think of him as professional. Maybe Carney and Turner are related.
He was professional in terms of not taking his pay for the first three months of his contract.
I am 100% sure that the whole Carney situation would have been dealt differently if the Steve Turner saga wasn't happening.
It was just the wrong time and wrong place to retire for Carney.
I wouldn't accept 3 months pay for 1 days work either :rotflmao:Originally Posted by Queenslander

Can we get back to talking about Pat Richards.
I heard from the camp that the boys would be keen to work with Pattie as well.

As for Carney playing for Wigan, good luck to him.
He's was homesick and now he's not.
I for one am ready to move on. eace:
