Maloney is 10x the player of carney. We needed carney at the time but no way he gets us to a grand final win i reckon.
Or make a tackleCarney couldn't get through a finals series uninjured

Its funny that carney was a **** defender, but so is maloney. But this last month, he just put his body in front of blokes. How good is this guy

I remember that poor fella Matt Groat. He had a face that made Phil Gould look like model material. Unforgettable.hahahaah **** he was so bad it wasn't funny. Then again he was never going to succeed with a name like that, poor bastard.
He's always done that though imo.
Yeah but usually got left 10 metres behind.
Yeah Maloney was rarely mentioned in the media when discussing our x factors...usually was Val, Barba, Fifita getting the mentions. Maloney is right up there imo.
To be honest I think that's because he wasn't that flash early on. Besides his kicking game, he didn't rack up lots of assists and his running game started out pretty ineffective this year. Cometh the moment though, he was just about our best in the finals. Must have made a least 5 linebreaks, pinpoint kicking and not sure if he missed a goal. Showed his experience and absolutely killed it when it mattered.
where as Maloney has played the most games out of anyone in the NRL in the past 3 years, was it? He just brings supreme consistency to the table at an elite level. You would have to class him in the top echelon of play makers.Carney couldn't get through a finals series uninjured
I agree with this assessment. For most part of the year it felt like we weren't getting value for money as his stats were down quite a bit compared to the last few seasons but like you said he showed it when it counted. In saying all of this what he offered in terms of his off-field experience would be invaluableTo be honest I think that's because he wasn't that flash early on.

yeah I can handle missed tackles like this. It's the miss tackles like beale on chambers that burns me. That's where missed tackle stats can be misleadingnot really
maloney always has a high missed tackle count as he abssorbs the initial contact which allows wade/leutele to finish off the play
carney was just a turnstile
