Onya Todd (not) - "cracker night" suddenly takes on a whole new meaning.

One can only hope this is a media beatup, 'cause if it's not he may not lace on a boot for us if some mud sticks.

Someone should really convince our blokes to be a little more choosy about who they spend their free time with. To try and pick someone whose not as big an idiot as themselves.

Or convince the recruitment staff and management not to sign idiots in the first place with bad track records.. In some cases re-sign them.

The idiots are like a beacon to Uncle Nick for some reason. He just can't resist them.

Because no matter who the CEO or the coach are, we keep picking them out of gutter, expecting to make latte lads out of them. And all we end up with is another lager lout.

Why don't people reserve their judgement until the ****ING FACTS COME OUT? Jesus Christ all the "if's" "when's" "why's" "why not's" give me the shits.

Setting someones pants on fire is fun?

FFS this guy is a dick head.

oh yeah,

be real careful of that guy. He is clearly "unhinged".
No sane person would light a fart.
Or screw a witch for that matter.

Report from Fox Sports

Sydney Roosters begin investigation in to alleged Todd Carney NYE incident
By staff writers
January 04, 2010 .Sydney Roosters recruit Todd Carney is under investigation by his new NRL club after reportedly setting a man's pants on fire on New Year's Eve in Queensland.

The Seven Network claimed the former Canberra Raiders bad boy and a companion burnt the man's buttocks, scrotum and upper thigh in the alleged incident at Airlie Beach.

A Queensland police spokeswoman said a man had presented to Proserpine Hospital for treatment for "minor" burns but no official complaint had been received.

Carney is due to play in the NRL with the Sydney Roosters in 2010 after spending a season in the Cairns district competition.

The 23-year-old was sacked by the Raiders for the 2009 season after a string of alcohol-related incidents during his time at the club.

The Roosters said they only found out about the allegations on Monday afternoon and are yet to speak to Carney, the ABC reported.

When the news broke this afternoon I said to myself " not again....are you F__ kidding me!" but like JohnL states lets get the facts first before we come to any conclusions.

[Guest]

So let me get this straight, no official complaint has been made over a party prank gone wrong. God forbid one of our blokes gets his mate in a playful headlock, that is def front page material.

Garbage news.

Unless there has been a serious law broken Ffs use the newspaper space on more improtant stories-there are thousands of them.

Then again I am not surprised that something has come out, the media would of placed somebody on 24/7 Carney watch from day one.


The one thing that concerns me is now that it is headline news the 'victim' will try to get some fame and cash by shitting on Carney.

What a sad state of affairs.
