Banging chicks in the dunny in Brisbane should have been a stackable to. But wait...that was bronco hero's... That's different. Got it. Carry on

It most likely was sackable. Most Code of Ethics mention things like acting in a responsible manner and not engaging in illegal activity. Having a three-some in the toilets with some loose mole would not be acting in a responsible manner, would it? Similarly, pissing into your own mouth then posting a picture online is not responsible, nor is it accepted.

Like I said, the act will be grounds for dismissal. Whether they do or not is up to the club. Similarly, it was up the Broncos in the Thaiday situation you are referring to.

There's a strong chance he's pissed away what could have been a great career, it's a shame but wee have to live with our mistakes.

I'll tell you this, if Cronulla sack him, pretty much the lowest animal on the food chain when talking about attractive clubs to play at, he will never find another club in Australia.

Canberra MIGHT make a play for him in their desperation but that would just be lol worthy.

TODD Carney is fighting to save his career at the Cronulla Sharks after the publication on social media of a shocking photo of the star player in the toilets at Sutherland Shire nightclub Northies.

Carney could not be contacted today but Sharks chief executive Steve Noyce and his manager David Riolo are to have talks at lunchtime today.

The photo of Carney at the urinal went viral on social media websites overnight.

Furious club officials unsuccessfully tried to contact Carney this morning for a ‘please explain’.

A high-ranking official told The Daily Telegraph Carney was facing the sack over the incident at a time when the club is still looking for a major sponsor.

Carney had previously been sacked by the Canberra Raiders and Sydney Roosters for off-field indiscretions.

NRL officials have seen the photo and are in talks with Cronulla management about disciplinary action.

Even Carney’s biggest supporter, suspended coach Shane Flanagan, is refusing to stand by the troubled five-eighth this time.

The Sharks had only just found some on-field joy, coming back from a club-record 22-point deficit to defeat the Broncos 24-22 in Brisbane on Friday night.

The Sharks had gone the previous three games without scoring a point.

While we will not go into the details of the image, a response is expected from the Cronulla club and the NRL on Sunday.

This is the latest incident to impact Carney’s career.

The 2010 Dally M medallist was banned from playing in the NRL in 2009 after repeated alcohol-related incidents while playing for Canberra.

In 2009 he spent the year playing with the Atherton Roosters in the Cairns competition before joining the Roosters in 2010.

After two seasons with the Tricolours, Carney was released from the final year of his contract after he broke a team-imposed alcohol ban.

Carney joined the Sharks in 2012 - the same year he made his State of Origin debut for New South Wales - but his future now hangs in the balance.

Say what you will about Buzz but he's not going to exaggerate when it comes to a Sharks player. He wouldn't say sacking is a genuinely possibility unless it really was.

it's gross but it's not a crime

players don't get sacked for drink driving and that is far worse
its a police crime , what carney did in a public area

Should be f**ked off immediately. He's had chance after chance but unfortunately just can't seem to get it through his head that you can't keep doing dumb shit and expect to be continually rewarded with a +400K salary every year.

as for those championing the case that what he is allegedly done is not illegal, could you imagine for one second he'd keep his job if he was a senior partner at a company and did that shit? Image is everything.

I now await the predictable apology, full of self loathing about how he's let the fans, his friends, family and the game down yet again where he'll cop a small fine and spend a few weeks on the sidelines. As sure night follows day, sometime down the track he'll f**k up again and so the boorish cycle continues.

Time to move on Toddy and close the chapter in your life that saw you earn a squilion dollars. You'll be free then to ingest whatever takes your fancy.

I wonder if the photo was deliberately leaked today, so if Carney gets sacked he won't have time to register a contract before the June 30 deadline.

If it's real the club will not want him. End of story

In fact I'd go as far to say that if they stood by him and it was real, then that would do me! I'd be gone

Those that are saying he should not be sacked seem to be forgetting Todd's long history of this kind of behaviour.

I am sure his contract with the Sharks would have included a clause or condition regarding his off-field behaviour, and the fact remains that he has put himself in a position where another member of the public has been able to take a photograph of him performing a lewd act.

I'm left wondering if it was a friend who took this photo or someone he didn't know. If it was the latter then it really does prove what a complete idiot Carney is.

I doubt the NRL would register another contract for him anyway. I'm sure they feel like they've given him enough chances by now. All over for him unless he can find a SL club I'd say.
