Brian Carney has signed for Warrington thought his days were over what do you think about him playing for our league .

He's 33 in July and hasn't played for yonks - why do they want him? He was never that fast before but I bet my 5 year old could beat him now!

apparently at union at the minute so as soon as season ends back to league but dont no if he's playing or in a coaching roll in union ,thought he was fast when playing for Wigan and he has kept himself fit since.

Agree......hasnt played RL for about 2 years since he defected to the dark side ........ hasnt played a competitive game in that code for over 12 months cos of injury......... the current youngsters in SL at the mo will run rings around him IMO.

If i remember rightly he was fast when playing for Wigan dont know about now though we will have to wait and see i surpose.

I'm definitely in the "class is permanent" camp. The fella was awesome for GB(&I) t'other year.

Dont think age really comes into it if fit as a certain Mr Gene comes to mind ,he must be 40 at least and he's doing fantastic albeit he might be in his last season .

Good luck to him was a class player,hope he does well,previous injuries permitting,if it all goes tits up for him he would be better than the Ball Bag Carrier on BBC Sport,can't wait to see him on the tv flying down the wing again!
