Any news on Carney?
Any news on Carney?
The heart and sole of our club! That southern stand has his name all over it!!! Thankyou Gal.
I don't think the reality of the signing will set in for a while, but it is a MASSIVE step forward in the future of the Club to tie up Gal. When you consider the fact that;
1. The Property Development is still yet to be entirely approved.
2. A new salary cap system is just around the corner that will seriously alter pay scales.
3. Gal was offered big money elsewhere (although specifics were not mentioned)
4. Our playing roster isn't the flashest.
...to get Gal to sign up for life is remarkable. Carney for a couple of years or Gal for the rest of his career? I know what I think is the bigger story of the two.
One other thing that snowman alluded to the other day but that wasn't discussed in the detail it deserved; you can't begin to imagine how much of a win (and show of loyalty) it is for/to the Club that Gal didn't test the free agent market. He probably could've dragged the process out and squeezed a lot more money out of the Club by playing the waiting game. But he didn't. He's a loyal as anything I've ever seen. To be perfectly honest, in my eyes all Gal needs to do from here to bypass ET as the greatest Shark ever is to make it to the 300 Club (a real possibility now) and get the to the Grand Final. Doesn't even need to win it to make the claim.
Man love for Gal grows every day.
