    Hopefully they let Milford out now.
     
  2. BMT BMT Con

    Why? His father's down in Canberra atm a stretch from where Ayoub claims he couldn't travel. He won't be released.
     
  3. GYR DW Lewis

    Called it at the start of the year. Although I did say being the first one sacked this year was a good shout.
     
  4. Andato BJT Manera

    Walters much?
     
  5. Julian BJ Taylor

    cherry evans, lyon and Williams up against Milford, Croker and sauluima.

    foran, Matai and Taufua up against mccrone, tupou and earl.

    barring parramatta matches I haven't seen a bigger mismatch on paper in 2013.
     
  6. Old Mate M Perry

    Contract clauses, lol.
     
  7. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Never doubt me morgs.
     
  8. crowley DA Crowley

    Think Canberra are specials now that Furner has been sacked. Wish they'd waited another week before letting him go.
     
  9. Julian BJ Taylor

    ferguson is AWOL at the moment and obviously wants to get sacked so he can sign for another club with no strings. if this is proven he should be rubbed out of the game for next season IMO.
     
  10. Magic AJ Parker

    Why would he want to get sacked when he's got a release clause in his contract over David Furner?
     
  11. Julian BJ Taylor

    I have nfi I'm not retarded.
     
  12. BMT BMT Con

    Yeah it's interesting a part of me thinks it does have something to do with family, but it also has to be a combination of that with the fact no one wants to play with him.

    He may also be deregistered after his sentencing.

    That explains that...
     
  15. Cribbage RG Cribb

    How unprofessional can you get though? Surely just playing out the last two games of the season wouldn't have been that hard.

    Yeah that's shocking from him. Should want to play the last 2 games with/for your team mates and finish on high sneaking into the finals.

    Canberra SHOULD have a fucking big chunk of cap spare for next year realistically.

    They haven't re-signed Berrigan, Thompson, Earl, Joe and Mick Picker and Williams.

    They've signed Lagi Setu to replace Thompson which would've left them with cap left over which would've been taken by Paplii's new contract.

    Then the others are replaced by other club rejects (Rapana and Tupou) and juniors who wouldn't be on as much money straight up. Yes they would be upgrading the likes of Wighton, Lee and co but FMD.

    Then you throw in Dugan and Ferguson who were still contracted for next season on a combined worth of over $1 million.

    They have to be looking at bringing in a marquee player or a few first graders to spend that cap. Very worrying if they're not.

    Reckon they'll offer Berrigan another year?

    Anthony Milford voted the Raiders NRL squad's best and fairest for 2013.

    Really?

    Didn't he spend a large portion of the season coming off the bench?

    Sounds like the Raiders are trying to suck up his arse in the hope that he'll change his mind about leaving ......
