He's already at it

[Guest]

Glad he isn't our problem anymore but I do feel for him. He can't do anything alcohol related without everyone jumping on his case - and yes I realise he has an alcohol problem and he is being given yet another chance etc etc but there are other players out there with addictions that are probably just as bad as Toddy Boys and they are not constantly scrutinised. Having said that am SOOOOO glad he is gone and hope I am wrong but it doesn't seem like a great start to his change of scenery - sounds like same sh+t different place! He was great in 2010 though wasn't he? Sigh.......

I can see your point, but you must be blind if you can't see the counter argument.....a guy with serious issues regarding alcohol, promises to reform so that he can have another crack at the NRL and he responds by going out drinking?

What was that Alanis Morrisette song again?

I think your looking for this one HC

[Guest]

Again....tell me what he has done wrong by having a drink.

Surely you know there's nothin' mo' important than a Bwaith-led dwinking ban AT THE END OF THE F-ING SEASON TOO MIND YOU. Can someone tell Bwaith that its done at the beginning of the season. Please. O Captain, my captain.

Every two years our players play like softcocked clowns. Every two years there is a scapegoat. First Freddy, then Carney, next Smith. I blame the players themselves. They need to harden up. Quit doing drinking ban bullshit as well .... that's for the weak clubs.[/I]

Note also that Todd's best year was 2010 when he swore off the grog.

He was still drinking in 2010.. Just managed to do it behind closed doors.

[crikey chris]

Todd who?

[Fairfax]

It's simple.

If you have a substance problem abstinence is the best solution.

He's a ticking time bomb.

Take it from someone who hasn't had a drink since 1995.

And guess what? I seem to get in much less trouble than did then.

From Fox Sports News reporter Adam Curley on Twitter

This Curley bloke should give himself an uppercut.

How is that rubbish newsworthy? Let alone posted on a public forum...what does he hope to achieve with this?

[Fairfax]

Newsworthy? Dunno... but I want the same scrutiny placed on him at the Sharks that he got when he derailed our season. We contributed cash to his lifestyle and if he doesn't care about that... fine. I just don't want him to get a free ride in the press just because he left our club.

He's newsworthy and that's why he gets paid the big bucks.

Is that a serious question?

Integrity in journalism is dead, anything written, tweeted or said is done for attention, and attention only.

He could write that Carney's piss is bright red and he'd get press. Just ask Rothfield.

[Guest]

Please remind what illegal activities Carney has engaged in since his DUI misdemeanor?

Why aren't you on Matthew White's case? Your head is probably so far up your arse that you have no idea what I am talking about.

Because YOU didnt make a stupid 'head up your arse' comment about him. Now get your own material.

....and note the comment "Todd hasn't really done a lot wrong this year from what I can see". We were in a similar position when we signed Carney yet still felt the need to changing the playing field with impromptu drinking bans.

He has done wrong , He admitted to the judge that he is an alcoholic and has a problem with drinking.He told the judge he will go to a program and go on the straight and narrow.Which he has failed to do so .Next time he is in front of a judge he will be put away.

That is bs brain. Carney said what anyone would to minimise his punishment.

You cannot go to prison for a misdemeanor regardless of how many times you commit it. This is what people have nfi idea about. It was a fn misdemeanor... unlike Matthew White who committed a criminal offense for high-range drink driving.

I recall the telecrap and several idiots on this forum who bagged roosters for their "lenient" treatment of Carney, went on to congratulate the Titans for their piss weak punishment of a criminal offense. It was a hypocritical disgrace.

R u sure?
His first encounter with the law was pretty bad anmd if he wasnt a footballer he wouldnt of got off -mind you he had to leave town.
The guy is a **** simple as that .What we warshipped was a piece of ungreatful shit he will not make it on the footy field in OZ.
He wanted a buzz now he is with Buzz .Cronulla's end is near.
I''ll never forget when at aCronulla game with Ghost we bought a few beers at the bar and the Cronulla fans were yelling at us "are we saving that for Carney" etc bla bla ,Ghost stood up to em all four of them .Lets see who is laughing now.

Drinking alcohol is a legal activity.

Sharks have no alcohol ban, nor has the NRL.

There was obviously no anti-social behaviour, it's the off-season, and people should be allowed to live their lives however they like as long as it's legal.

'Promised to reform'...reform what?...breaking club rules?
He's reformed, as the Sharks have no stupid and always-going-to-lead-to-trouble alcohol ban.

"Going out drinking" though is one of the 'risky situations' Gallop was probably talking to him about.

He went on the straight and narrow, and hasn't broken any laws since.
He breached club rules, was issued with breach notice/s, and was moved on.
Should he stop drinking alcohol? ...probably.
Should the Sharks manage him by surrounding him with new mates who'll have a 3 drink limit pact and obey and police it amongst themselves?
Yes.
