I didn't want him from the start. I knew a lot about his history in Canberra and what has been documented of his behaviour down there was really only the tip of the iceberg. There was a lot of other shit that they had been able to sweep under the carpet. I was blown away by his transformation last year, thought to myself, shit, I might have been wrong about this guy, but sadly I was right all along. So in essence, yes, I agree. Maybe the question should be why did we sign him in the first place? A lot of fans will then point to his performances last year as evidence as to why we took a risk on him, but you then have to consider whether his performances last year followed by his de-railment this year has set us back in our rebuilding process.

I didn't want him either but was happy to think he had found his way. I agree with what you say.
I'm sick of seeing kids like him called "troubled" and "depressed". They think the world revolves around them!
There are plenty of others who would be thrilled to replace him!

The only person who can be blamed is CARNEY himself. No-one else. The club, the coach and his teammates gave him plenty of chances. They wanted him to do well. But they can only do so much. You can lead a horse to water............. Carney is selfish, immature and cares about no-one but himself. He is 25 years old. My 8 year old son shows more responibility for his actions than Carney. He's 25 years old and it's about time he started acting like it. Sorry for the rant!

I completely agree that Carney is responsible for his actions. What I am getting at, is that as "coach" Smith needs to be a better influence. Smithy only knew that carney wasn't visiting mum because smith was in her bed. That would be confusing whether you are 8 or 28....

Do you know this to be true, or is it still just gossip and rumour...

Cant 100% confirm but word has come from several directions and the story seems consistent. Dont want to burn smithy at the stake for something he may not have done. First heard the news out of Canberra which set off alarm bells followed by all the shit in the media. Would explain why Carney and Smith went from bumchums in 10 to where they are now. Also Smith always seems extremely hesitant to discuss Todd in any context.

Several clubs could do worse than sign him on a 1 year contract, and manage him 24/7.

Souths....they'll struggle without a top halfback.

Cowboys.

Panthers.

If they don't want to go to the trouble, then France is his only, and very last option.

You don't?

That's not consistent with you saying this;

"What I am getting at, is that as "coach" Smith needs to be a better influence. Smithy only knew that carney wasn't visiting mum because smith was in her bed."

Everyone's heard the rumour, and until you have something better than;

"Cant 100% confirm but word has come from several directions and the story seems consistent."

you should drop off

It is a BS rumour. If it were true the players would be revolting against Smith not Carney. It is Carney who is to blame. Trying to deflect that by throwing up baseless rumours will not detract from the fact that Carney has no self control, is immature, can't take responibility for his own actions and believes the whole world owes him something.

Fair enough.

If more comes out now that Toddy is gone, Roosters need to show Smith the door. Until then BOTD will prevail.

Hold on !!!!! The same Carney who said that "cant see myself playing for any other team" & "Wants to be a rooster for life"



surprising how he took a backward spiral

[novice chook]

Jaggers if what you are implying is true, just remember that there were 2 people responsible for that situation - not just one.

So to blame one without blaming the other is hypocritical.

And under the circumstances and those involved, I doubt anyone will be saying much to the media, least of all Carney if he has any lrespect for his family.

Could that have been a last ditch attempt to buy some sort of linency??? Considering he said that before the breach notice was handed out.....were other things happening before he was snapped on that night with myles and FPN ???

If and I repeat IF the rumour were true, I think Smith would and should take the complete blame for 2011...

and I doubt Smith would still be here next year..
