LOL @ Raiders/Furner

The pig-headed arrogance and stupidity in this pic says it all...

I can't understand how this guy is a CEO. He must be a running joke within league circles
 
That scandal highlighted this problem better than anything ever has but I'll be fucked if I feel sorry for them. They were caught cheating.
Couldn't agree more. **** the Storm, they cheated the game and even knocked us out of the finals 3 times when they were over the cap. Their punishment wasn't nearly enough.
 
His still upset he wasn't allowed the Broncos show bag at the Ekka and instead had to have the Crushers one.
 
I actually think the problem was first highlighted when the Dogs were caught cheating the cap. They too had developed a shitload of good players (back when they actually were bred not bought) and got punished hard for it. The fact that the Roosters ended up with half of those players a few years later sort of further underlined how little reward there is for developing players.

And I do actually feel sorry for a reasonable person who has to manage the Raiders. Canberra is a fucking shithole and it's hard to attract any sort of talent there whatsoever. The fact that a player like Tedesco would backflip on them given the money he was offered only further emphasises this. Do I feel sorry for Furner? **** no. But I do feel sorry for their fans.

And the NRL really does need to do something about development. Which means you can guarantee they won't.
