I hope we don't get him at the sharks
Total bullshit, of course you do

I am not defending fergo in any way and I do feel really sorry for the Raiders but can we genuinely stop him from playing at another club unless he his found guilty of a serious crime? The NRL would just be on the wrong side of a lawsuit that would end up putting money in that idiots pocket and make him feel invulnerable.
The Raiders organised a psychologist for Ferguson, which he saw up to twice a week and had to pay for out of his own pocket.
The Raiders also appointed a mentor to try and create a family-like atmosphere for him in Canberra - a former police officer and senior indigenous leader.
It coincided with the best form of Ferguson's career, rocketing him into the NSW origin team.
But it's understood the Raiders and the NRL had debated Ferguson's rehabilitation program that was put in place after he was charged with indecent assault on the eve of camp for Origin II.
The NRL suspended Ferguson for four weeks and insisted he undergo weekly counselling and work with the code's welfare department in Sydney.
The Raiders expressed concerns it was forcing Ferguson to visit Sydney once a week, arguing that Canberra would provide a more consistent environment.
The Raiders had been planning to invest between 12 to 18 months in Ferguson's rehabilitation, before he ceased communication with the club some three weeks ago.

So the NRL made Fergo go to Sydney twice a week when he doesn't have a licence.
Not too smart.
Its deadsh*t fergo's fault he lost his license in the first place though. Plenty of buses, trains etc from canberra-sydney too
Sounds like Fergo was bullied by the club and other Raiders players which is disgraceful. I can understand now why he wouldn't want to be apart of that environment. Hope his faith in rugby league is not lose and he's able to rebuild at another club
