Carney has struggled with a hamstring injury and his coach, Denis Betts, yesterday resigned himself to being without him against Leeds this Friday and in the Grand Final, should Wigan get there. "It's taking time to strengthen the muscle," Betts said. "Unless he can really prove himself and say he's 101 per cent, he won't play." Carney insisted that the news was not all bad. "I won't be able to play on Friday, but it's good that the problem has been identified," he said. "I'm confident that I'll be fit to play in two weeks and be available for Great Britain." Betts added that Sean O'Loughlin will be fit for Friday, despite rib damage last weekend.
