Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2522819, member: 1899"] The timing of this is truly bizarre. I don't understand why the Raiders would want to sack their head coach right as their season hangs in the balance. Surely, that's curtains for their season and will only create tension with sponsors and supporters. In saying, Furner's time was definitely drawing to a close. His biggest failing was his inability to take his young crop of stars to the next level. It just seemed like he was running a daycare out there most of the time and unfortunately for him his most talented players were troublemakers. Dugan & Ferguson are world class players and we've seen plenty of examples of that this year but they just didn't seem to take their careers as seriously as they should have, especially Blake who really lacked concentration and was always good for massive brain fades. It will be interesting to hear who's appointed the next full-time coach and what effect it has on the club. Despite the club being in disarray with the very real possibility of Fergo & Milford leaving, they still have plenty of talent left over and may even perform better without the Ferguson distraction. Let's just imagine a worst case scenario here...I reckon the Raiders would line up like... 1. Jack Ahearn 2. Reece Robinson 3. Jarrod Croker 4. Jack Wighton 5. Edrick Lee 6. Terry Campese 7. Mitchell Cornish 8. Dave Shillington 9. Glenn Buttriss 10. Dane Tilse 11. Joel Edwards 12. Josh Papalii 13. Shaun Fensom 14. Josh McCrone 15. Lagi Setu 16. Brett White 17. Tom Learoyd-Lahrs Jag a few last minute off-season signings, develop an effective gameplan that compliments players like Papalii & their backs, brother you've got a team. Transforming it into a premiership team is another story - Raiders are going to have to make some big calls there. Cut Campo, some members of their forward pack and make some big plays in the active market. [/QUOTE]
