I think Carney wants to leave because of all the injuries that he has picked up.
Wigan signed him knowing that he wanted to go to the NRL and i'm sure that Carney was happy to stay at Wigan for the full term of his contract.
His recent injuries have changed all that:
Wigan don't want a player who keeps getting injured especially when alot of other players seem to get injured
What do you mean? If everytime a player got a serious injury we got rid we would not have had Farrell last season and Radlinski would have left last week.
Dallas wold have gone about two seasons ago as well!
You have to assume players will get over their injuries and play for you again given the fact you can't just rip up their contracts.
Carney him self wants to play in the NRL, basically it's his live long dream but it could go badly wrong for him and hw knows it another injury might end is career in Rugby League.
And he could walk under a bus tomorrow. That is life. He has made a commitment to Wigan and he should get on with the job.
Are Wigan supposed to wrap him cotton wool so he can have a pop at the NRL? He is being paid to do a job and if he doesn't do it we are yet another player down who we expected to have available for 2006.
Do you think the club can rustle up a replacement just like that? They will be planning one for 2007 but the idea Wigan is some sort of kindergarden for players with ambitions elsewhere is nuts.
So Carney could play another year for Wigan get injured and never play again or he could play for an NRL team get injured and never play again but atleast he would have played some Rugby in the NRL.
SO WHAT !!! Wigan are not a charity but an RL club still in danger of getting relegated and this twit is spouting on about playing for another club. Not once does he mention our situation.
He wouldn't be in the position he is in today if he hadn't played for us.
Imagen if you played for a Rugby League team and you were told that Wigan wanted to sign you but you had had some injuries and were worried about how long you have left playing. Wouldn't you leave even if you were under contract just so you could play for Wigan?
Don't be so flippin' stupid. This is real life not Roy of the Rovers (wrong sport but you get my drift hopefully). He can't just "leave". Wigan have to release him form his contract.
Why should they do that? If Newcastle want him while under contract they should pay a fee. The snag with that is I don't think there is an international agreement regarding transfer fees so we get nothing.
We shouldn't be annoyed at Carney he's played well for us (when he's played) but after all he's only human like us.
What complete and utter nonsense!
You think talking about getting out of a freely entered into contract while we are struggling is not something to get annoyed about?
He has signed a contract for two years with Gold Coast in 2007 but wants to go and get the crap knocked out of him for another team in the NRL first rather than see out his career here?
He isn't even going to play for his team from 2007. Given his comments about wanting to play with Johns if I were CEO of Gold Coast or whatever they are called I'd be questioning his committment to that.
He has his wish to play in the NRL as of 2007. He should honour his contract until then, plain and simple.
