Re: Sack Don Furner
He's a really great guy that I have a lot of respect for. Always says hi and has a chat. I also respect him for a lot of the work he's done to get the club back to being popular in this town. However I think it's time for a change at HQ. And more than just Don. I think at board and HQ level some que...

Re: The Raiders front
I would say the people who are at the club genuinely love the club and working for it. In saying that I also think they like the status that comes with that and are not going to fall on their sword anytime soon. They don't see that they don't have what it takes to make us a dynasty once again. I don...

The RLIF has awarded the 2025 WC to Moore Sports International. They believe they can make this work and this test is building toward that. Will this work who knows? What makes this the wrong step?

The club was in an absolute shambles when Furner was sacked, players in revolt.
