How many chances should Carney get

[thenamesgould]

you think you would keep your job if you continually let your bosses down. you must have a very lenient boss

No, just a normal one. I'd have to do something illegal or at least bad to get sacked. Carney certainly hasn't. He's broken a team agreement ... big deal, that's between him and his teammates.

You all don't seem to realise that he's a recovering alcoholic. He will have slip ups, however this is very much on the minor end of things. Don't expect perfection from him, because it's an every day struggle for somebody with an addiction, and they will make mistakes till the day they die. As we all do.

If this was something that actually affected his performance or anything like that, I could see your point. But it's nothing. You're holding Carney up to standards which nobody on here would reach. And you're reacting like the Daily Telegraph wants you to!

I can't believe the douche bag team mates who would know Carney is an alcoholic and seemingly don't seem to give two figs as they take him out again and again. Nate Myles is an idiot. And he shat in a hallway. Tells you plenty.

I think Carney should go. Roosters took him on with problems. They have let him down and he has returned the favour. Him NOT getting sacked will cause mass disharmony in the team which is not needed given all their other troubles. Nate Myles should go to. The **** incident and multiple misdemeaners, then taking a self confessed recovering alcoholic to the pub! C'mon, this guy has a head like a loaf of bread and obviously it's filled with bread too! I haven't heard much of FPN playing up in the past but who knows. In reality, they will most likely all stay

Myles is signed to the Titans for next season and with only 4 games left and the Roosters out of contention for the semis maybe they should just tell him to pack his bags now.

Is he an alcoholic?, or was that just an excuse for the courts? or is more of a binge drinker, thats what needs to be answered.....

Exactly - you have to put a big question mark on that now. IMO he should be in jail for his last DUI. Knowing someone killed by a drink driver i have zero sympathy for this scumbag.

He has admitted to having a prob with booze. Whether it's alcoholism, binge drinking or what ever, it has been used as an excuse much like Willie Mason saying he had ADHD which was his explanation for bad behaviour.

"But Noyce said Carney's counsellors had advised the club that a total alcohol ban was inappropriate, and the Roosters were aware that the Dally M medalist was drinking again."

Time to get some new counsellors... - if he truly is an alcoholic as there would be no consumption in moderation therapy - the whole point about being an alcoholic is that you can't drink sensibly
