It was nice to see some familiar faces and send them packing after pocketing two points. Anyone that thinks a team guided around the field by Soward and Wallace has a chance in the finals is delusional. Moylan did nothing to impress me, other than run sideways and piss his pants when Hurrell was nearby.

Photo: Getty Images Sydney Morning Herald - 57 minutes ago Todd Carney's agent David Riolo has hit out at Cronulla for not affording the star five-eighth an opportunity to explain himself at a hearing before terminating his $3.5 million, five-year contract. Yes, please give me time to explain pissing into my own mouth. Edit: St George Illawarra forward Joel Thompson tweeting: "Whoever leaked that photo of Toddy is nothing but a dog... Can't even have a joke in the privacy of a toilet#feelforhim". Apparently a joke is now pissing in your own mouth. I love rugby league logic.

Watched the highlights, after 1.5 views of it I'm not sure it should have been called back, although if I had a decent view my opinion might differ. It seemed like it was 50/50 and far enough away from the ball, but I'll admit the replays were fairly useless.

Warriors have to have one of the most disciplined sides in the NRL when it comes to off field issues. Hurrell got a blowie in a car (NRL should have paid him rather than fined him seeing it was both consensual and with a woman) and Sione Faumuina had alcohol issues but other than that I can't think of too many incidents.

I'd have toddles back at Canberra because we suck but also because while pretty gross I think weeing in ones own mouth is at the lower end of rugby league crimes. I know he's got a record and all but he's not Robert lui.

At this point he's had so many last chances and problems with alcohol. Since they took Willie Mason, how about he goes to the knights on a $40,000 year contract under Bennett?

It would be good to see Carney wind up under a no bullshit, hard work type coach like Bellamy or Bennett. He's still got a few good years in him if he can get off the piss.

The Fox commentators LOVED Misi Taulapapa since when he scored they could say "Tell your mama, tell your papa, Misi Taulapa is in for a try". Also comprehensive highlights of Michael Crockett's NRL career: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOdcN579-go 4(minutes)20 get sent off err' day Ewar Woowar posted:I'd love Carney at the Warriors. He'd be a vast improvement on Chad Townsend but there is no way the Warriors would look to sign someone so with his background. Well as JonoC said we did chase him hard last time he was available. We do have some history with bringing in red flag players though, we got Brett Seymour and managed to keep him under control while he was here, although I heard he was the ex-player who was hanging around the Kiwis squad at the world cup and provided the sleeping pills. That whole thing seems to have been swept under the carpet. Smorgasbord fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Jun 30, 2014 |

As far as I could tell, Seymour managed to stay out of trouble while he was with us, but as soon as Johnson was on board we cut him loose and he went over to the UK. Unfortunately there were stories that he had an "accident" over there which might have been a suicide attempt. I also heard the rumours about him being a source of sleeping pills for the Kiwis last year.

Because as a tigers fan, that would be nice. Hoppa was basically assaulting someone, where Carney was being a disgusting, filthy human being but to himself. I'd still rate what Hoppa did a league above drinking your own piss. League just finds new and exciting ways to create controversy it is sometimes hard to make direct comparisons.

I think carney is just an idiot. Drinking your own pee at a urinal while someone takes a photo? Pure stupidity. Getting sexual services from a dog? Middle ground, I'd say. The dog probably had no idea what was going on, and disgusting as it was it was a dumb joke gone wrong. Pretty bad, but not the end of the world. Hoppa? Physically assaulting other men involuntarily and essentially raping them deliberately to win a game of football. I still feel ashamed I cheered him on back in the day. Clearly the worst of the bunch.

He's proven himself in the U20s, he's getting his feet wet in reserve grade and doesn't look out of place. He was on standby to cover for Johnson for the game against the Rabbits and the week before that. His best position is in the halves, but he's next in line to play fullback if Tomkins is out with Locke on his way to England and Fish done for the season.

Craig Gower always had the best entry:wikipedia posted:In December 2005, Gower was fired as Panthers captain after incidents at a charity golf event where he argued with several guests, groped the teenage daughter of former league player Wayne Pearce, chased Mitchell Pearce with a bottle before vomiting on him, streaked nude around the resort, stole and crashed a golf cart, held a butter knife to the throat of a Sydney radio personality before throwing it at resort guests, and engaged in a brawl with resort security before being ejected from the official function and detained by police. Gower was handed a "final warning" by the National Rugby League and fined A$100,000, with A$90,000 to be paid to an NRL programme encouraging the responsible use of alcohol by league players and $10,000 to replace the destroyed golf cart. Gower was "deeply unhappy" that the Penrith Panthers club did not defend his reputation, and at one stage threatened to "walk" from the club.

The COO of the NRL has come out and said it's highly unlikely Carney will find another club at the NRL, which has effectively banned him from the league for the forseeable future. I can't help but wonder if he's basically being made an example of at this stage. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/nrl-unlikely-to-welcome-todd-carney-back-20140630-zsr3x.html
