He hasnt been charged with DUI was he GK?
it can not be proven that he was drinking or over the limit, there for the presumption of innocence must apply
and talk it up all you like, facts are, if Todd Carney was playing in the Knights #7 there wouldnt be an arguement on NSW's halfback, he'd have locked it up weeks ago. Mullen is there for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, he is an exceptional talent, who will play origin for years to come, even if they did pick him a year too early.
and secondly because he plays for a team that has such a some media support, via the johns brothers and channel 9, aswell as the Telegraph, who have put the spot light on him since john's retirment, they have effectively over-rated his ability at this time and the general public and it seems the selectors lapped it up.
Anyone who has looked at the two's performances objectively will see two things:
1. they both have a very bright future and will be rep stars for a majority of their careers
2. Carney is by far the more developed and better player at this point in time. The only aspects of the game Mullen has Carney in is short kicking and defence. As for passing long and short, long kicking, running, vision, organisational skills and goal kicking Carney is superior. That said i believe Mullen will end up a better organiser then Carney but thats about it.
Try as some of you do to convince yourselves otherwise, Todd Carney is at this moment in time a better player then Mullen, though this recent set back for Todd will allow Mullen to bridge the gap
