SOMETIMES Twitter can be a funny thing.

So it’s no wonder #UnlikelyNRLHeadlines was trending today.

It seems everyone had something funny or clever to say about the state of rugby league. And you don’t even have to be an NRL fan to get the jokes.

There were digs at both players and the refs, with disgraced players Todd Carney and Blake Ferguson playing a starring role.

Here are some of the best.

Enjoy.

Of course, the best tweets were reserved for disgraced Sharks star Todd Carney, who was sacked after a lewd picture of him at a club urinal emerged.

The image showed Carney in the toilets of Sutherland Shire nightclub Northies apparently urinating into his own mouth, and was nothing short of a career killer for the 28-year-old.
