NRL value system priorities :huh:

Lui assaults his partner - two separate incidents - gets suspended and sent to rehab.
Carney's drunken mate posts him urinating, on himself and in a toilet - sacked - no rehab
:huh:

Now for Greenturd to come out in support of Fergie's reinstatement - 'to help his mental state' :mad:

Totally agree what Lui did was much worse and he got off lightly.

It was the Sharks who sacked Carney. Remains to be seen if NRL will suspend/deregister him and if so how long.

Cowboys in contrast made the cynical call that the damage done by keeping Lui would be less than his value on the field.
 
Well it will be lawyers at five paces then, as urinating in a toilet can not be a breach of his contract :cool:
Hope they name and shame the person who published the photo :idea:

Wonder if Cronulla will have any Players after ASADA notices get issued.
Ironically, Carney was not on their list :p
 
Of course, Sharks deny his sacking, let me guess light slap on the wrist, play next week, no four week suspension.
 
Stupid decision if they sack him and a major reason why the Sharks will never win anything.

Club struggling to win already and sack one of their main attacking weapons.

Club consistently win's everyone will forget about it.

What's that thing consistent winning brings oh yeah Sponsors
 
It's not his fault he didn't understand what random urine tests entailed, He's from Goulburn after all. When they said urinate into your beaker he thought they meant his mouth and to be fair I can see this kind of thing being big at the roosters too.
 
They signed Bear Grylls as head trainer, it has had immediate effect
 
Sad that a talented player has such trouble with the booze, but of course many people from all walks of life struggle with alcohol.

The problem is that alcohol companies pay mega-bucks in sponsorship, and they can't afford to have the game associated with mindless drunkenness. Which is ironic, in that alcohol is required for mindless drunkenness.
 
You are kidding of you think the nrl are not going to back the sharks up and not register him (at least for this year)
 
As Baldrick (from Blackadder) might say, perhaps it's part of a ''cunning plan''...

Carney may have wanted to desert a sinking ship...Or his mate that took the pic wanted him to fry!

As for the Sharkies perspective, Todd's form this year probably made the decision pretty easy.
 
Man he just lost 650 per year for the next 3. That's gotta hurt. Hope his photographer mate has a job for him.
