The Raiders might just end up leaving Matt Orford for dead with Canberra Raiders coach David Furner has suggested that Josh Dugan maybe the suprise candiate for the currently vacant Raiders number 6 jersey.
Just like the Eels the raiders have began to get frustrated with the Matt Orford scenario and just might resort to having the inexpierenced halves pairing of 06. Josh Dugan , 07. Josh Mcrone.
The Raiders were expectecting an update from Orford to today but the phone call never came. David Furner has suggested that the Raiders still have a faint intrest in Orford but much like Parramatta the Raiders have become increasingly frustrated with Matt Orford.
Quotes from David Furner
There is the option there that ‘Duges’ could step up into that role,” Furner said.
The big thing for Josh is that he’s got a tremendous amount of natural ability, he’s very athletic – he’s gifted in that way – and he’s also got a good footy brain.”
There is still the option for Canberra bringing Michael Picker into first grade from the QLD cup but that is unlikely to happen.
If Matt Orford is left for dead by both the Eels and Raiders i dont care the Raiders need him more than we do i am happy with Mortimer / Murray.
