| Interesting, from a guy who seems to have contacts, both are good players but come with baggage and different skills.
Todd, is a great player but is always injured, Justin is great winger who would be very good in our side, but the players didn't want him last season, has this changed?

| Can you imagine a back line of carney, griffin, fonua and talanoa
The players don;t want that one in case he starts banging their wives and the other one is made of balsa wood and earns a fortune so can't see either signing personally

| Would hope Justin has learned his lesson by now but still if our current players wouldn't like it then stay well clear IMO.

| Todd is often injured and Justin often banned.
To be honest, I wouldn't be fussed by either of them.
Hypothetically, if Todd had no injury problems I'd take him in a heartbeat.

We don't need Justin and cannot afford Todd. In fact we couldn't afford either.
I think our signings are done for next year which will do for me. 2018 will be massive from a recruitment sense as we will have a lot of cap to play with I reckon

Our rumours thread next year will break message board records.
For now though I don't want to imagine a team without all those great players.

| we have no cap space so immaterial really, think there is more chance of players becoming available from relegated SL team and at the moment that could be one of three Danny Brough is the pick from the giants and not got a clue who I would want from the other 2 clubs, but I think we would have to lose someone to bring someone in and I wouldn't want to do that TBH

| I wouldn't rule out Justin Carney, as this poster has a really good record of inside Info and we nearly signed him last year, he has recently signed a new deal so it may be dependent on Salford getting relegated.
Michael's has been great this year, but Carney is an upgrade on him and if the club want to sign him, you have to trust their judgement.

Think we will have cap space for one more, think we could offer Micheals a deal and have offered Yeaman one, but the club are saving some money for one more signing.
If Hudds went down, I'd look at Brough, Cudjoe or Mcgillvary.
Rovers I'd have Sio, but he will good back to the NRL.
Salford I'd look at Josh Jones.

Radford's said he uses the Bradford model of big outside backs willing to take the ball up (Vainikolo, Vaikona) as it makes life easier for a big pack. Carney is 11th in the comp for metres made so would seem a good fit playingwise, but not culturewise.

I don't think Carney is the same player he was at Cas last year Dave, so at the mo I don't think Carney is an upgrade on Stevie Micheals.
If he came to us and we knew he could turn the clock back a year then I would agree deffo.

Josh Jones wouldn't get a look in, in our team. Wether you play him centre or back row. Would be a waste of a signing.

| I'd be more than happy with either , Like Jake said , It would be some back line with Justin added to it .

| Chances are that the bulk of our squad (outside of Yeamo) will be looking at improved deals after the way they've gone this year, so I'm not expecting very much coming in through the door unless we offload someone. But who do we let go ?
If we could bring in even one signing I'd go for a 6, knowing that Carlos would give us good cover at 6 and centre.
Should Stevie Micheals be the one to leave to accommodate a quality 6. I think Curtis gives us good cover at wing, rather than bring in another winger.
Would love to keep Stevie, but not if it closes the door on a better 6 than Carlos coming in.
The way Yeamo has performed this year, which has been quite outstanding, Radders may yet give him another year if he thinks he can go round again maintaining that high standard.
Even if we don't bring in a 6, I think Carlos will be under some real pressure to perform next season at an improved level. Especially with the increasing emergence of Jordan Abdull.
If we do bring in a 6 Carlos will play much more at Centre and watch and learn 6 play from an experienced 6.

| I still think Connor could owst Carlos from the standoff role. He looks to have the better all round skill set.

The trouble is we are looking at three players who can play at 6 rather than have someone in who is a 6

hope your right but if we had cap space I think they may of tried to keep Michaels I think we are done unless we release someone, Tomo is the only player who might fancy moving on he is a decent earner and not making our 17 regularly I like him not advocating we should get rid but its a case of are we getting value and would Ross Osborne be at level where he could do just as good a job for a lot less money.
I guess its a balance between having a strong well paid pool of 18 to 20 senior pros and 12 to 15 good developing players behind them at different stages this is the balancing act the club must do that's probably why Michael's is going he has said as much himself the club have a couple of young lads they want to bring through (and there on a lot less money is the bit he can not say probs) I hope we can add further but I think we could be done this year still a very good squad for next year, hope to see the likes of Abdul, Logan, Fash, jansin having really good off seasons and pushing for the first team next year

| I've heard similar regarding Justin Carney. Does anyone think if we have no cap space left then someone else could be leaving? The only thing I doubt about Carney signing is Thompson been at the club and the whole veto thing at the beginning of the season.
