Ok that I can live with. He won't get sacked and RIGHTLY so... so suck on that dipshits!!!!! (media etc lol)

An alcoholic having a relapse?

Unheard of? F*&^ing hell.

Get him some help if he wants it and move on.

This is now a non-issue.

Blowing 0.52 on P plates and being seen out drinking is not a hanging offence.

Talk about beat up.

Noyce on Monday again said he was disappointed that Carney had found himself in trouble yet again

What trouble / Am I missing something.


More importantly:

However, Noyce said it was important to distance Carney from the Watts incident.

"I think we also need to be very careful that Todd and Anthony were together, but there was no suggestion that Todd has has anything to do with the legal proceedings that Anthony is facing."



Carney & Watts not one in the same.

Carney didn't committ a crime but that is not the issue as far as he is concerned. He is a self-admitted alcoholic. He told the court that he will quit the booze and go to AA in an effort to salvage his life. He was so close to a jail term which should have scared the living daylights out of him. What was he doing on the booze at 4am 2 weeks later when he was supposed to be recovering from an injury?

What does it say about our culture as a club when your star player asks for time to go see his mother in Goulburn, does not travel with the team to the game but is out on the piss - the same player who is an admitted alcholic?

I was advocating him being sacked yesterday. Perhaps that's not the way to go, given his state of mind and his problems. As a minimum, the club should stand him down from all duties for the remainder of this year on the proviso that he seeks help and overcome his issues. Any mishap, including a sip of alcohol, during that period, then tear up his contract

For selfish reasons, I'd say that he did nothing wrong and should play this week. However, the kid has deep-rooted problems and needs serious help. He needs to be away from the game. His welfare is more important than a game of footy.

Best quote all year.

spot on, sick of idiots giving their opinions about alcoholism etc without ever being affected by it in their lives. IMO Carney can never overcome any problems he has under this kind of ridiculous strutiny.

I'd say the biggest issue is that Gallop told Carney was on his last chance after Carney promised Gallop that he was off the drink and attending AA.

AA is full of people who relapse... some after days, some months, some even years.

I'm not sure when Gallop was elected head of the Star Chamber but as a lawyer he knows there must be due process and this one is nowhere near enough to hang him over.

This is a beat up.

Didn't Carney have a girlfriend all of last year?

Does he not have one now??

Time to acquaint him with someone that will take plenty of care of him at home... and I'm not talking about his mum lol

yeah fair call but it's like promising your boss at yr 9-5 office job that yr an alco but will stay off the piss at work functions after acting like a goose at the most recent xmas party. then you turn around and pull a sickie next week and get photographed downing a couple of pints at a music festival...probably get the sack on the spot!

The difference between that scenario and this is that we signed him knowing his problems.

[Guest]

I suspect unless Carney has signed something that consitutes a booze ban, sacking him would present a problem.

The only hint of allegation I've heard (even from the telucrap) is that Carney consumed alcohol on Saturday. On what basis is that cause to terminate a contract?

[Guest]

yes and we then handed up a contract tht reflected the oppurtunity given to him...the reprieve from a bogan life and a minimum wage job.
He dishonoured his contract and our good faith.
sack the bogan like the raiders did

Carney lied. Lied to the courts, NRL and Roosters about giving up alcohol. Lied about visiting his mum. How can he be trusted? As bad as it sounds, I think it's time to cut him loose
