Raiders blink in the face of Carney demands

Getting rid of him will send him a message. And if the next club gets rid of him when he acts up he might even start to get he message.

There is currently another footballer who is basically out of the game after bashing up one to many people and being expelled from about 3 clubs.

I don’t think Canberra should just hang onto this twit because otherwise he might play elsewhere.

What people don’t seem to understand is just ‘getting rid of him’ benefits no-one but Carney. Raiders rip up his contract and guess what, the bidding war starts and he will end up somewhere else on significantly more money. I’m thinking Matt Elliott and the Panthers have made the call and had the cheque book out already. He could end up out of the Canberra cold and ensconsed in a nice new town house/apartment on the Gold Coast getting paid a mint because the Raiders let him go i.e. terminated his contract, which means he is off contract amd free to go elsewhere. Yeah sure the NRL could de-register him but they did the same to Dane Tilse when he was at Newcastle and it didn’t hurt him after his period of de-registration ended. Carney could then go to the UK or, shock/horror, French Rugby Union again benefitting from his dismissal.

The smart thing to do is what the Raiders are trying to do. Keep him fine him and suspend him from playing duties for a while. I’m sure its written in his contract somewhere. He is out of sight and out of mind so his attraction for other clubs diminishes he could possibly watch his team march into the semis without him, and he could be really made to feel sad and sorry for himself, as his wages are reduced somewhat.

Just getting rid of him is great for 1 person, Todd Carney

Just get rid of him.

What’s with these guys and carrying on like animals after a few under the belt? Sure they’re great sportsmen but that doesn’t mean they can act the goat with little or no consequences. I’m sure when I used to work for a company and they saw my name in the paper after releiving myself on some punter, I would’ve been shown the door. Clearly not a bright way to conduct yourself, especially when you are in the spotlight and a role model to plenty of yougsters. Sure it’s hard behaving all them time and everyone is watching you because you are good at what you do. But you chose this line of work. Shape up, or ship out.

If the Raiders want to be taken seriously as a responsible organisation, and not just a bunch of pushovers who let their players get away with unacceptable criminal behaviour, they should sack him and publicly disown him. What sort of message does this send to young bogans?

Bye bye Todd…. see if the Courts in France are like those here! *Clang* watch your fingers!

… and it really won’t hurt that young man to spend a bit of time on the naughty mat.

*hehe*

Todd Carney is a convicted criminal. This is Unasseptable. Highly Unnasseptable. Either he tows the line or he can Fcuk off. That simple. Todd who?

The manager has sent through a counterproposal. Now, the demands were, essentially, directed to Mr Carney behaving like a member of human society. This is not really negotiable – either he accepts or not. Despite his skills as a footballer, his past behaviour has surely placed him in a position where his capacity to bargain is limited. The Raiders have a chance to show that they are serious. It may be their last.

Jo Frost? Supernanny? Oh, never mind ….
