No no no, the no d*ckhead policy is one a club like ours needs to employ. Culture isn't built around w*nkers like Dugan.

I think if anyone is going to pull Dugan's head in, Timmy, Hayne, Reni and co would be some of the few that could. If we can get his behaviour fixed up he would be an amazing buy.

Hey pete, what's the latest story on David Furner being sacked because he is a terrible coach? Oh wait, his dad runs the business. Bad luck champ.


Get your facts right boxhead. Donny is his brother not his father....boxhead...more like dickhead...:lol:
Dave won't get sacked...btw...long way to go...

So that's where he gets the lying and going against his word stuff??? Your mate Dave abused any players mothers lately??? Then his grubby brother Don, face it Pete your buddies are grubs.


:lol: You are better of letting people THINK that you are a goose, than going ahead and posting shit like that and removing all doubt.
Dave and Don are two of the most ethical people involved in Rugby League, and for you to call them grubs shows your mentality. Sport is sport, life is life..if you don't know the difference you should give it away....

You are a massive hypocrite Pete, you gave up following Parra after 40 odd years after Ando was sacked, so upset that we didn't honour his contract. But seem to have no problem what Papalii and your great buddies the Furners have done. I knew a little spiel about them would fire you up :lol: But no you don't bite do you Pete ;-)

Both Dave and Don are mates, and like you...or I hope like you..I will object to them being denigrated..in jest or not in jest. Sorry, I don't care if you think David can't coach...or Don is not a good administrator..that's your right. But to call them grubs..when you obviously have had nothing to do with them - or know anything about them and what they do in life outside of football will get me to bite EVERY time.
AND in regards to Papalli not honouring his 'contract'...he had a 13 week cooling off option before it became legal. He had every right turning his back on it.
More fool the Eels announcing his (Josh) signing BEFORE that 13 week period had expired.
Big difference between what Spagnolo and the Board did to Daniel Anderson to what Papalli did 'legally' under the NRL rules...
You obviously take your sport more seriously than me. I prefer friendship to 'blind' loyalty. Helps me live with myself better. You want to try it sometime.

In the end, if we were dumb enough to pay him cash as a signing bonus without a requirement that his contract be registered with the NRL, then we are idiots. If we paid him an amount in advance pending NRL ratification, then we'll get it back, either soon, or when his new Raiders contract is registered.

I guess it's easier to worry about other clubs issues than our own. For all their problems, including the Furner clan, dog loving etc, the Raiders recent record is less embarrassing than ours.

I was thinking the same thing Barry. We've even got a couple of captains that have done worse stuff than Dugan, shhhhh.

Derp. You agreed with me.

Furner is a terrible coach that has a fantastic roster at his disposal, and he has led them to nothing in a three year stretch that should have featured at least one grand final. But no, he will never be sacked whilst his family member is in charge.

Hurr-durr Canberra hurr hurr.

:lol:

Do you ever think that the roster David has at his disposal could be a result of his coaching?
Sorry dic..I mean boxhead....but you have NO IDEA.

Get a life you fool..and get your head out of your arse...

A roster featuring a forward pack considered by many to be one of the best in the competition with four very good props (considered top class a year or two ago) in Shillington/White/Tilse/Leahroyd-Lahrs, a good back-row for the most part with Papali and Fensom, and a back-line sporting Ferguson, Dugan, Croker and Campese is a bad roster?

:lol::lol::lol:

Though injuries have played a part - and now Dugan's bad behavior - they have had one of the best young rosters in the competition for the past three seasons. You can't seriously sit here and tell me Furner's appalling coaching - given actual Raiders fans will say the same - isn't to blame.

Do us a favour; if you aren't going to support Parramatta and say you are supporting another club, actually watching their games more than once a year might be a good idea.

As i posted..Mate you have NO IDEA....none. The Raiders HAVE a GOOD roster...BUT
Under whose watch did those players develop??? It's like saying Craig Bellamy took over a 'world beating' team, and had nothing to do with making them champions...
Get your hand off it for a while....goose!

I don't need anyone to tell me anything about Rugby League, who to follow, what to watch, and who can and cannot coach - or play..especially from a 'novice' like you....I've watched more Rugby League games than you have had breakfasts. Been involved in it longer than you have been on this earth. AND here you are telling what I should and shouldn't think, who and what I should take notice of...
Boxhead -I make up my own mind. I am my own person. I will support and comment on whatever issue takes my eye.
Rugby League is a sport to me, and I treat it as such. The day I don't treat it as a sport is the day I give it away...
