So we’ve got him until the end of 2027, does anyone know if we are in talks to extend?

It’s key for us to keep him longer as he’s really doing a great job with the resources he’s got.

You’d think we would want to get this done sooner rather than later for stability and attracting players

Your image says Todd is being brought in to work with young halves in the pathways system. Not their 29 and 26 year old starting NRL halves. I’m not opposed to some specialist coaching for Nicho and Tricky, but that isn’t what Todd is doing at the Titans from the sounds of it.

TC will be great in that young pathways role imho. Good on him.
 
I remember the Todd Carney bleached hair Eminem phase, it was warning sign, a cry for help

His form was already going to **** and he went off the rails soon after

Any new signings should be forced to pick a style and stick with it for their Sharks career

Want a new hair cut? Well there are barbers on the Gold Coast

Man Carney had so much potential, really did. Just literally pissed it away.

Sharks stuffed up as well. They pulled the pin on him too early.

Other clubs would have just stood him down for a few weeks.

Our club wasn't in a position reputation/brand/sponsorship wise at the time to be seen as being weak on misbehavior or taking half measures with punishments even though we mishandled the process and were still made out to be the bad guys in the end

The Carney signing was good for us regardless and no one cares about the bubbler incident now. He made us competitive in 2012 and 2013, we played in the finals and started to look a half way competitive team which in turn attracted other players to our club even if 2014 was a write off due ASADA the building blocks were starting to fall in place squad wise for 2015 and onwards

Carney also proved the Sharks could make a big name signing, it was a huge turning point for the club

A bloke should be expected to be able to go to the bathroom in private and not have a photograph taken and shared with the media, it was a beat up and pretty rough on Carney for a bit of a silly joke but his previous indiscretions put him in that precious and delicate spot of already being more or less on his last chance and it doesn't excuse some of the shitty things he had done in the past

People aren't perfect, they all have their issues, all he can do now is hopefully be a better person and try make up for it but there is no doubting the talent and ability he had on the football field when his mind and body were right

I don't think so, not with the long rap sheet he had.

Maybe, but we knew what we were getting ourselves into.

In saying that, it was a dark period for our club so we were probably on a hiding to nothing whichever way we went.

Anyway, lucky we dont have the same level of ruthlessness on this forum otherwise you would have got the sack 64263 posts ago!

I’d say odds are he k ew he was being photographed. Just got shared wider than intended.

Not that that drastically changes the point

At the AGM in March they said we were in talks to extend.

Then the form slump happened, so I imagine that derailed things a bit.
