LeagueHG informs us that the man who has given so much mirth to Canberra, Todd Carney, is considering suing for the right to play Rugby League in Australia as the realisation dawns that his criminal past makes getting working visas for overseas opportunities tricky.
The NRL would probably like Todd to work a real job for a year before a 2010 return, but I’ve got a sneaking suspicion a court would agree they can’t keep him in the freezer on a whim.
Raiders management will reportedly be unhappy if he were allowed to play for anyone else this year, but it’s not like he’s their property either.
