Todd Carney Combined Mega Thread

[MK Eagle]

Plenty of talk he is out but feel there is a bit of a smokescreen here.
Every chance given till Friday to prove fitness but with a hamstring, can be no better than 70% which will minimise his best assets - his running & kicking game.
Will he play??

 

[Killer03]

I think they'll play him and risk him. Personally I think he's pretty screwed with his hammy.

 

[HappilyManly]

I think and hope that they will play him, Manly will eat him up and Fifi and Lewis, all with serious injuries. Gals not far behind in playing on with that calf injury.

Manly has to play smart and use the kicks to save on tackling for 100 meters. Manly won the brawn battle last game, now lets win the mental, tactical one.:idea:

 

[1969]

Agree, hope they play him, Foran and DCE will have a laugh, and then when they replace him, they can play hot potato with the sharkies...

It would be terrible if was selected and then hurt it in the warm up

No, then they would still have 17.

Lets stick the pin into the Voodoo Doll as the Sharks kick off

Sending lots of protective energies to the Manly Team

I just wondered how the sharkies can afford $800 per shot treatments for carney this week. I thought they were getting funding from the nrl because they couldn't pay bills as well as having to set up dodgy accounts to self fund their gym, are they broke or not.

 

[Lord Eagleton]

I dont think he will play. With a dud hammy he will be a liability to them, in both attack and defence. And if he makes it even worse then his team are 1 interchange player down. Wade Graham or Lewis to cover 5/8

I think that happened to us once with Steven Bell. He ended up running on but only lasted about a minute.

I hope that your voodoo doll isn't a blow up one.

 

[Utility Player]

If it is it will get plenty of pricks in it.

Interesting the difference in how the two clubs are handling a similar situation

Snake named and will undergo a fitness - nothing more to add
Carney not named, will be a circus all week - a nice distraction

 

[Chip and Chase]

I can't see Carney playing TBH.

 

[BOZO]

We will flog the Sharks with or without Carney . Our focus this week will be on rising to another level.

2008 v the Dragons at Brookie, 1st semi. Beaver came on and replaced him, and scored the 1st try in his last ever game at home.

 

[HoldenV8]

Like us with Snake, I think the Sharks will give Carney until Friday to prove his fitness. IMO without him the Sharks are next to no chance.

In all honesty I'd rather him be out there and fit, that way when we win we won't cop any "We didn't have Carney" excuses from the Shire.....though I won't be upset if someone like Luke Lewis plays 5/8 for the Sharks instead.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

I like Lewis out wider, he's good for some missed tackled on the faster blokes

 

[Shoe1]

Not sure whether Todd was channeling Lou reed in his early 70s bi phase, or a 90s militant dyke, but either way this was a great statement in support of the nrl's anti homophobia stance. Well done Todd.

 

[bob dylan]

Hard to work out what was worse. His hair or his pass game.

 

[6/71]

The OP is not good natured.
