Whilst not good, especially for someone with his past record, "low range drink driving" can occur from 2 quick beers.

No, I'm not trying to defend his actions. But let's not all rush to hang the guy.

(and I would have said this about any player).

dude, he has been banned from driving until 2013 or something
he shouldnt be behind the wheel

drink driving and driving under a suspended license... the last magistrate who saw him in their court said one more slip up and he's in the big house

 

[Rusty]

It was reported he was on his p-plates.

The Roosters won't do anything but give him a slap on the wrist.

 

[rlforever]

He must be sacked!!

 

[Timmah]

I'm not sure his ban is still in place tbh raider, he's back on his P's from memory.

Either way the report I've seen had him blowing 0.05, which a fully licenced driver would get away with... being a P plater he's not allowed anything at all.

Unfortunate and disappointing but not a hanging offence. Roosters would be foolish to punish him heavily IMO.

If we were talking high range PCA then I'd agree, but we aren't.

 

[Noname36]

I'm seriously over this f**kwit.

Honestly though, this is a nothing story.

Will the NRL step in with an automatic two match ban like it did with other clubs??

Or does that only apply to struggling clubs and average players.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I though comic book arms was reformed?

No, not reformed just very well protected by Rooster officials.

he got his license back last year.. i don't think he'll end up in the slammer for this

 

[herbert henry1908]

Its not good , but Ive always felt drink driving had little to do with the job of being a rugby league player.

Especially considering many , many people are caught. I bet most here know someone thats been charged with DUI.

The main thing is its not a hanging offence , the moral retoric on these issues needs to calm down.

Calm down champ.

A man should lose his livelyhood over one mistake in the past 2 1/2 years?

yes he has form , but for the most part he's been getting it together. Carney was never going to be 100% clean forever.

 

[Slippers]

"On Tuesday, 12 June 2007, Carney appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court, pleading guilty to the charges of failing to stop when directed by police, negligent driving and driving while disqualified.[1] He escaped jail, but the Court placed Carney on a 12-month good behaviour order, banned him from driving until 2012"

Um can someone please confirm if it is 2012 yet? Thanks

lol.. he got his license back last year. IF he didn't, don't you think the report would read "driving while disqualified"? can't seem to read that anywhere... pretty sure that would be the first thing he was charged for mate
