The on-going saga of Todd Carney

Irwin was sitting in the passenger seat. Maybe it’s time ACT thought about introducing some responsibilty for passengers. (age appropriate) NSW the passenger of an L plater can be hit with drink driving, ACT they can’t.

I don’t get why Irwin faces no charges. He was the licenced driver.

Irwin must be plenty pleased with his good mate Carney. As for Carney being sober this time. Maybe. He was when he handed himself in well after the incident anyway.

Irwin was made an offer similar to Carney’s but turned it down. He has also only played maybe 1 or 2 1st grade games for the Raiders whereas the club has invested alot of time and money into Carney.. however i think this should be his final warning… If he does anything else – thats it see you later. However it would be interesting if he were sentence to weekend detention.

And might i note.. Raiders awesome win last weekend.. Was WITHOUT Carney.

Dante, I don’t understand your comment that he was sober when caught. Didn’t he do a runner, then when back to Goulburn, then his mummy drove him back? Plenty of time to sober up.

I don’t have an issue with what the Raiders have done. They’ve invested a lot in Carney, and not much in Irwin, so they have a right to protect their investment. However, this has got to be his last chance.

Supposedly Irwin was offered a deal to stay and play for the South Logan Magpies for a year or so, with a possibility of a later entry into the NRL. He turned it down. The Raiders are still going to pay all his medical expenses for his injured knee.

He should be shot in the ****in head. Stupid ass punk. Can we fast forward 15 years to when he’s old and unfit and doing commericals for Hume Sheet Metal?

It should be the 3 strikes your out system like in the US.

Carney would be off the road for a while then and with no one to blame but himself.

I heard that Todd Carney has been given a job by one of the Raiders sponsors “Local Liquor” working as a taste tester and delivery driver

Don Furner came out and said it wasn’t fair.

Irwin is rumoured to have been involved in a couple of other off field adventures. He was offered a spot in the Qld Cup, and decided against it and was released.

Todd Carney is a bit of a special case – signed by the Raiders at 15, they have invested 5 years and a massive amount of $ into the kid.

They are making him get up early, get a job, and giving him a last chance to make good his career in Canberra. He is well aware one more screw up here can see him jailed or become property that no-one is willing to take the risk on.

Dante – note that Carney was sober when caught this time.

Wes Naiquama from St George is also on Periodic Detention, but can play on weekends. And Todd Carney isn’t Brian Fletcher who allegedly – according to reports – has so far escaped a gang rape charge by having his copper mates cover it up…
