Looks like a chance that Carney will come to Catalans:
Catalan Dragons coach Laurent Frayssinous is keen to sign Todd Carney but expects plenty of competition from rival Super League clubs.
Carney's future looks likely to lie overseas after Cronulla - following the publication of a lewd photograph - last week became the third NRL club to dismiss the five-eighth.
Hull, Warrington and Salford have already ruled out making a move for Carney but four days after penning a new two-year coaching deal with the French club, Frayssinous has declared he's a big fan of the 28-year-old.
"What I can tell you as a coach is everyone would love to have such a quality player," Frayssinous told UK paper The Daily Star.
"He's one of the best stand-offs in the world and I'm pretty sure we can use the relationship his manager has with Super League clubs.
"I suppose a lot of Super League teams will chase Todd Carney."
Huddersfield signed Carney in 2008 after he was sacked by Canberra, but the move collapsed when he couldn't get a visa.
In 2011, Carney had discussions with the Dragons - who then had Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson in charge - but he opted for a move to Cronulla.
Just two weeks ago, the Dragons loaned Australian halfback Scott Dureau to the Roosters to make way for Carney's former Raiders teammate Sam Williams.
The Dragons, based in the southern French city of Perpignan, helped resurrect the career of another disgraced Australian player, Greg Bird, in 2009.

It's pretty disgusting (not as disgusting as Monaghan mind) but I hardly think any kids are going to be jumping to copy him. If he had ed in a glass, chilled it and drank it he would be no different to Madonna or any of the other weirdos that drink urine. Sacking for this seems massively overblown. He basically gets the same punishment as Greg Bird who glassed his missus resulting in surgery...
He won't play for any English side because of problems with his visa due to him having a criminal record. Catalan would seem the most likely destination.

This act alone isn't the sole reason for his sacking - there have been 2 previous issues this season alone. Firstly, he failed to show up to the Sharks season launch because he was out on the grog - the club dealt with this internally, he got a wrap on the knuckles. The second incident was when he turned up to training under the influence - again the club dealt with this internally, a second and more serious wrap on the knuckles. He was told after that incident in no uncertain terms that he needed to clean up his act.
It's common knowledge he's been spending far too many nights out on the grog and his fitness and form have suffered as a result. His drinking buddies are well known in the area, and for all the wrong reasons, including dealing in illegal substances. Carney has ignored the numerous warnings he's been given, and Cronulla simply couldnt afford to turn a blind eye again this time when it's so public. The club are fighting hard to repair it's image after the ASADA stitch up and have actually secured sponsorship as a direct result of the stance they have taken with Carney.
Also, a point to note, Greg Bird was ultimately cleared of any wrong doing. | | |

Yeah me too - but the law's an ass sometimes. In fairness to him though, he's completely turned his life around since then, and is a great example to people like Carney of someone who's been a complete jerk because of the drink, and has done something about it. It's no coincidence that since Bird and Gallen cut out their party lifestyles, they've become 2 of the premium forwards in the game. | | | |
