Do you think Carney will leave Canberra in 2009?

raidersmalt · Post by **raidersmalt** » November 21, 2007, 12:21 pm

Poll time.

I think he will. The way he's going about his contract negotiations are slightly odd and more than a little worrying. He's either waiting to field offers from other clubs....or I dont know... I cant think why else he would delay if he actually did wish to remain in canberra.

It's quite annoying.

*sigh* Another thread dedicated to whether Carney will move or not.

From what we know from news articles, the situation hasn't changed over the course of the last year. Carney has been offered a 2 year extension and has stated that whilst he is keen to stay in Canberra, he wants to wait until after the pre-season trials.

It is also a distinct possibility that players may read these forums, in particular thegh.com.au, so imagine if the polls showed a majority voting for NO?

All we can do is hope that Carney shows the same loyalty that we have shown to him.

It really is a long off-season...

I cant see him leaving with the interviews he has been giving..

I'm very confident he will stay.

Agreed but i think management will look at a 3-4 year deal.

Great, more Carney paranoia - he'll stay.

He has said he wants to stay. I take people at their word.

I agree with Kermit, a longer term deal, would sweeten the pot.

Let's lock him up longer term and stop the other clubs sniffing around every second year. Let's give the other players another reason to want to stay with the Raiders and for those from elsewhere we may negotiate with in the future, the chance to play with a potential match winner.

He will sign a 3 year deal... 2 years solid and a one year option in his favour

He's delaying till other clubs know what they can offer him and put the Raiders offer up. He's bumping up his price and to be 100% fair to the kid, almost every one of us would do the same thing even if we would never pull on another jumper.

We need not discuss this topic any further until something of significance happens I reckon.

I believe he will re-sign...

Then again, I believed Finch, Monaghan and Schifcofske would all stay too...

But seriously... I think he will stay. He can't have said much more to state his clear intentions. It's fair enough that he sees what else is available at other clubs too, so he knows what his value is on the market.

What are you talking about? I understand the phrase and what it means....but in the context of my post... I have no idea.

That's right after seeing what Schif did I don't beleive anyone anymore, at the end of the day the highest bidder will win, I do beleive though if the Raiders can come close to any other offer he may get he will re-sign, but why wait, why put off contract talks....if you want to re-sign then lets start talking......
I wish he could just learn from Tonguey...what he did last week and resigned even without a manager is just awesome !

No we like him too much and he owes us.

I accidently voted for Yes, but my vote was actually for No. I think he will stay, again I thought the same for Schiffy and Finch etc etc. So who knows!

Hopefully he will stay around, but I'm not holding my breath on it.

If he leaves we can just shuffle halves (and Withers) all season and lose heaps of games by 2 points and dream about our next U20 chosen one

Nah he won't go, he told me he planned on playing for one NRL club only, if he doesn't reach international status by the time he's 25, he'll go to a smaller club in the ESL.
