Trouble-prone Canberra playmaker Todd Carney and teammate Bronx Goodwin have been stood down indefinitely by the NRL club pending a police investigation.

The pair are assisting ACT police with their inquiries following an incident at a Canberra nightspot in the early hours of Monday morning.

"We are going to stand both Bronx and Todd Carney down,'' Raiders chief executive Don Furner said today.

He would not comment on any possible terms in either player's contract that would see them face further disciplinary action if any misbehaviour was proved.

"t's just the best thing we should do at the moment until they (police) sort that out rather than have that hang over their heads while they're playing or picked,'' Furner said.

Asked how the trouble affected him, he said: "I just get more grey hair, that's all.''

Carney has been in trouble before.

Last year the halfback was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and banned from driving until 2012 after pleading guilty to a string of driving offences on May 18.

He was immediately suspended by the Raiders and only returned to action six weeks later when he turned out for the club's Premier League side in a game against Newcastle.

Neither player was available to comment today.

Skipper Alan Tongue admitted the suspensions would disrupt the in-form Raiders.

"As a playing group we're just getting on with the footy,'' Tongue said.
