The Taylor/Fa'alogo dust-up aside, what other major off-field incidents have Souths players been involved in, in the last 10 years that have brought shame on the code?
They don't need to.
Souths fans bring enough shame on our code with the moronic drivel they come out with so the players don't need to try.
Look, re this incident. Yes it's disappointing and Todd has made an error of judgement. But if you sit at home with some friends on a Friday night and have some wine with dinner, followed by a few beers and finish drinking around 12, then have 6 hours sleep, get up and drive to a meeting, chances are you're likely to be over the drink drive limit.
The current drink driving campaign that the Police are running is designed to highlight this.
Most people would not be aware that they are over the limit after having drinks the evening before - and you don't have to be screaming drunk the night before to fall foul of being over the limit either.
The level of histrionics and calls for bans and points deductions etc show nothing more than the jealousy held by League fans towards Todd Carney's on field ability or their deep seated hatred for the Roosters.
I suspect Todds being over the limit is nothing more than an honest mistake, one most of us have probably made at one time or another after drinking the night before. Thankfully there have been a few sensible comments - but the level of f**kwittery in this thread is strong. But then again, I expected nothing less.
Had this been Nathan Hindmarsh, Sam Burgess or Darren Lockyer, chances are the replies would have been completely different.
wasn't drinking in the morning, obviously leftovers frmo the previous night.
