[bondi-boy]

Don't buy Rothfield's rag of a paper, for a start.
Keep your money in your pockets.

The comments are interesting...especially where 'Chooky of 4217' told him " I believe you are a Rooster basher. and should stick to a girls game like the AFL. ".

What did ol' Buzz head say about this?
Nothing most likely.

Didn't Watmough hit some sponsor and insult a young woman last year?

And recently:

Anthony Watmough loses licence after clocking 133km in an 80km zone.

What did Gallop do about that?
What did Rothfield say about that?

Oh, but it's the great 'God's Country' team.

Brownie points will help Carney

Todd Carney's off-field turnaround at the Sydney Roosters before the weekend's drink driving slip-up will be taken into account when he meets with officials from the NRL club later on Monday.

Roosters chief executive Steve Noyce will sit down with the Dally M medallist as the club works out what to do next with Carney, an off-field serial offender who turned his life and career around last year after 12 months' deregistration from the NRL.

The star five-eighth was charged with drink driving on Saturday morning, the P-plater recording a blood alcohol level of 0.052.

Advertisement: Story continues below Noyce has already ruled out sacking him and said the fact Carney had barely put a foot wrong since linking with the Roosters would be taken into consideration.

"I think he's earnt the right," Noyce told reporters as the club launched ticket sales for this year's Anzac Day clash with newly crowned World Club Champions St George Illawarra.

"We can only talk about his career at the Roosters which spans about 17 months.

"He's done all the right things."

Noyce said Carney had recently raised $1,000 from teammates to buy books for a flood ravaged school library in the Queensland town of Ipswich.

"When he makes poor decisions alcohol is there and that's a consistent feature over the last couple of years for him," Noyce said.

"I can't change what happened at Canberra (where he was sacked), unfortunately I can't change what happened on the weekend.

"What we can do is work with him to build a bigger and better future for him."

Veteran fullback Anthony Minichiello said the players were backing Carney and wouldn't let the incident derail their season.

"It's hard for me to comment on all of that sort of stuff when we're advised not to," he added.

"They're working through the issue and we'll leave it in the club's hands."

Carney is expected to miss the opening rounds of the NRL season with a groin injury.

Urgh at the last bit, but the rest sounds alright with a bit of perspective.

There must have been 2 Seitmata Sa's at the club.. The one I saw was average at best.

I like to believe the best of people.

Lord knows I used to believe Nathan Wood would be a world beater.
