Rabbitohs add David Furner to coaching staff as assistant coach – South Sydney Rabbitohs
The South Sydney Rabbitohs have welcomed back experienced coach David Furner to the Club as an NRL assistant coach today.

I'm all for it right now. It might not be a big coaching addition to get super excited about, but it's something. The club is trying something at least and trying to bring in change. Furner is a decent coach and a senior coach with experience, which is what this relatively young coaching staff probably needs. What's more, he's a new voice that hasn't been around the club during our downward spiral so that's good news. He can come in with a fresh slate, and hopefully drive some new standards.
I don't think it's a 'JD signing' as such. We've seen that JD can be very stubborn so I doubt he's putting his hand up and saying "I need help here." If he has done that, then it's a massive change in attitude. I believe this would have been club driven.
I get what people are saying about his record at the Dogs and Tigers but that was a completely different situation. We have a better roster and better players on paper, it's about getting them to respond and get back to their best now. Can Furner do that? I don't know. I honestly don't know.
But you know what, it's worth a shot, we have to give it a try and it might just work! You never know.
But welcome back Furnsy!! Please fix us.
