Yesterday afternoon, as Noyce was finishing his lunchtime sandwich, Todd Carney walked in with his agent David Riolo and delivered four words that probably saved his football career.
"Yes, I was drinking," Carney said.
Refreshing honesty from the superstar five-eighth

Don't sack me, Todd Carney pleads

TROUBLED NRL superstar Todd Carney has begged the Sydney Roosters not to sack him over his latest drinking episode. At an emotion-charged meeting with club CEO Steve Noyce yesterday, Carney pleaded: "I just wanna get my head right."
The Dally M champion is facing an indefinite suspension - possibly for the remainder of the season - rather than a contract termination following his weekend 4am bender in the Eastern Suburbs and Kings Cross.
At the same time, the Sydney Roosters are expected to tear up the contract of Anthony Watts, the player who was out on the town with Carney, and later allegedly assaulted his girlfriend.
Carney's manager David Riolo last night revealed how his star player was desperate to remain at the Roosters in the NRL. "He wants to keep playing and that's what he said at the meeting. I don't think sacking him now would achieve anything," Riolo said.
"If there was any anti-social behaviour on Saturday night, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
"The only person he's hurt this time is himself because he'd said he wasn't going to drink. One thing he didn't say to Steve [Noyce] is that he's sorry because I think everyone's sick of hearing that.
"He's obviously got some demons in his life. He's not handling it the way we'd all like him to. He's got to keep working through those issues and stay positive.
"He wants to get his head right and then worry about football after that."
Todd Carney did not train with the rest of the Roosters yesterday, who are preparing for their Anzac Day blockbuster against the Dragons.
After meeting with Carney, who confirmed he had been drinking on Saturday night, Noyce was last night finalising his report and recommendation which has to be bounced off club chairman Nick Politis, who is in Greece.
Asked would either player be sacked, Noyce said: "Let me get the report done before I make any comment on things like that."

How Todd Carney won stay of execution
Phil Rothfield From: The Daily Telegraph April 19, 2011

TODD Carney knows Steve Noyce's office on the first floor at the Roosters' Moore Park headquarters better than most.
He has climbed the stairs more than once since he joined the Sydney Roosters, normally to discuss anything from his footy form, his family or this time his latest fight to beat alcoholism.
Yesterday afternoon, as Noyce was finishing his lunchtime sandwich, Todd Carney walked in with his agent David Riolo and delivered four words that probably saved his football career.
"Yes, I was drinking," Carney said.
Refreshing honesty from the superstar five-eighth who would often camouflage his drinking on a night out by getting tall glasses of orange juice and adding vodka on the quiet.
The fact he was upfront with the Roosters may have won him a stay of execution.
The meeting
Carney didn't turn up for training with the rest of the Roosters players yesterday.
Instead, he and Riolo fronted Noyce. On the way to the Roosters' offices, Riolo insisted Carney had to be honest and upfront.
"He's upset with himself and that's what he told Steve," Riolo said. "He knows he shouldn't have had a drink.
"He wants to keep playing and that's what he said. I don't think sacking him now would achieve anything."
Noyce told them he was not in a position to hand down any on-the-spot penalty or punishment. He had to finalise his investigation, bounce it off the NRL, and ensure club chairman Nick Politis, who is in Greece, was comfortable with the decision.
"Whether they stand him down, that's Steve Noyce's call," Riolo said. "But Todd's obviously got some issues to address.
"If there was any anti-social behaviour on Saturday night, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. The only person he's hurt this time is himself because he'd said he wasn't going to drink.
"One thing he didn't say to Steve is that he's sorry, because I think everyone's sick of hearing that.
"He's got some demons in his life. He's not handling it the way we'd all like him too and that's also what we spoke about.
"He's got to keep working through those issues and stay positive. He wants to get his head right and then worry about football."
The lies
The club announced that Carney had pulled out of Saturday night's game against the Broncos with the recurrence of a groin injury.
The truth is that coach Brian Smith granted him three days leave because Carney felt drained and hadn't been well. Carney said he was going to Goulburn to spend time with his mum. That didn't happen. On Saturday afternoon, Carney rang Smith and said he had changed his plans and would be going out for an early meal before heading home to watch the football.
Trouble is, Carney now lives on his own. He used to share a unit with Jake Friend, who now lives with his girlfriend. So when Watts rang and asked him to meet at the Coogee Palace, he went for it. And he stayed on it until 4am at The Trademark in Kings Cross.
General health
Carney has not been himself all season on or off the field.
After appearing in court the week before last, he was not keen to play against the Warriors in New Zealand.
Some even thought he was trying to get out of playing because of a passport problem.
"Speaking to him on the phone, you could tell he wasn't well," one of his friends said. "You could tell something was wrong but he insisted he was OK and didn't need any help."The night
Carney knows he can't be seen drinking in public because of his profile and all the recent publicity about him attending Alcoholics Anonymous.
So he tells punters who question him about drinking that he's on orange juice but doesn't mention the vodka he has with it.
Boxer Garth Wood saw Carney at The Trademark but played down any involvement in the footy star's bender.
"I was at the races all day with Singo [John Singleton] and we went to the Bellevue for a couple afterwards," Wood said. "On the way home I called into Trademark for a couple of quick drinks. I would have left about two to 2.30am.
"He was sitting in a corner with his mate and we just said 'g'day'. I don't hang with them."
He was drinking but there was no drama or anything."
The future
The Roosters are hoping to do a "Jake Friend" with Carney.
Late in 2009, the club tore up the young hooker's contract for repeated alcohol-related incidents.
Politis got involved in Friend's recovery, which became one of the best and most uplifting stories of the year. Friend got a nine-to-five job as a kitchen hand in a Surry Hills sandwich shop for six months.
He trained most mornings before work with former NRL hooker Joe Thomas and occasionally Laurie Daley.
He also had professional psychological treatment and was eased back into football via the Toyota Cup six months later.
The betting
As a result of the Carney/Watts turmoil and poor performances on the field, the Roosters' premiership betting quote has almost doubled in a fortnight. They have gone from $9 to win the premiership to yesterday's quote of $17.
Despite doubts over Carney playing this season, the TAB has not suspended markets.
"Their easing quote is more about current form than the other issues," spokesman Glenn Munsie said.

Todd Carney's press conference is on at 9:30 pm on Fox Sports News - Channel 513. You can also watch it on the Fox Sports website.
Surely the Rorters should do a Jake Friend with Watts and tell him to get a job and come back when he's grown up. They'll coddle Carney, but sack Watts. He's the fall guy for the lot of them. Watts is an idiot, but it's the drinking culture within the Rorters that's the problem. And they are not facing up to it. The Ibriham connection and the Sydney Confidential party going culture infects the Rorters. Any young impressionable talent should steer clear.

I think the last one who was suspended indefinitely might have been Inglis? Lasted one or two weeks from memory until they put him back in.
Carney is an interesting case. He is the Joey Johns who cannot be swept under the carpet or protected by a towns code of silence. If he breaks the law he cops whatever the court gives him. If he simply makes a dickhead of himself, he'll stay until sponsors or his club decide his embarrassment value outweighs his on-field contribution. Based on current form, that time may be approaching.
