Editors note: Since this article was published, the Cronulla Sharks have terminated the contract of five-eighth Todd Carney.

Cronulla Sharks five-eighth Todd Carney has found himself in trouble once again. I’ve now lost count how many times he has gotten himself into strife due to alcohol-related issues.

Last night The 2010 Dally M Medalist was photographed urinating into his own mouth while standing at a public toilet urinal. The photo has since gone viral.

The 28-year-old has already been banned from the Canberra Raiders and the Sydney Roosters for alcohol-fuelled issues, and he has form in nightclub urinals as well.

I’m not too sure where I stand on this. There is no doubt that is disgusting and an embarrassment for him. But it’s not illegal. Once again he has damaged his reputation.

He wasn’t hurting anyone except himself, his own image and the image of the game, especially seeing as Cronulla are still on the hunt for a jersey sponsor.

He and his family must be so embarrassed.

It is not known yet who took the photo or if it was shared against Carney’s wishes. Whoever took the photo and distributed it is just as dumb as Carney is for doing it.

It is unclear what action the Cronulla Sharks or the NRL will take against Carney, but reports indicate this could spell the end of his career at the club.

No one has made a statement on the future of Carney as of the time of writing, but club officials are said to have contacted Carney with a ‘please explain’.

Editors note: Carney has since been sacked by the club, with the NRL supporting the stance taken by Cronulla.
