Dugan and Fergason possibly sacked by Raiders.

[Guest]

Just talking to a Raiders mate and he reckons they could both be gone by weeks end.

Jed Bogan (as he calls Josh Dugan) missed a rehab session and insead posted picks of himself (and Fergason) drinking with an apparent attempt to get sacked.

we don't need him now and wouldn't want him with that attitude.

Chook.

He'll struggle to pick up a contract I reckon.

Injury prone & a poor attitude, if true and he did it with the intention of getting sacked he's a little delusional.

He apologised to teammates and fans via Twitter, but Raiders fullback Josh Dugan is losing the support of both after failing to show up for training on Tuesday morning.

Raiders coach David Furner is set to announce the immediate punishments for Dugan and centre Blake Ferguson at a 4pm press conference on Tuesday after the pair was involved in a weekend bender that sparked noise complaints to police.

The Raiders board is also due to meet on Thursday when the future of Dugan and Ferguson at the club will be high on the agenda.

Photo from Josh Dugan's Instagram account, which he captioned: "Make your own luck! Whatever will be will be!".

Dugan and Ferguson were stood down for a match for alcohol-related incidents last season and The Canberra Times understands Raiders players are fed up with their attitude, especially given the latest incident came after a 32-10 loss to the Penrith Panthers.

Both players have been given repeat warnings by the club.

Ferguson was present with teammates at the morning video review session of the Penrith match, but Dugan didn’t show and failed to give an explanation.

Instead, Dugan posted this message on Twitter: "I apologize to my team mates and the fans but this is personal and needs to be sorted out as soon as possible for me to move forward".

It’s understood Raiders players aren’t satisfied by the excuses and have met this morning. The players will provide a recommendation to coach David Furner before any punishment is decided.

But, at a minimum, Dugan and Ferguson are expected to be stood down for Sunday’s match against the Gold Coast Titans. Their contracts at the club are also believed to be in jeopardy.

The club has refused to make any official comment other than a text from coach David Furner saying: ‘‘we are going through the processes at the moment’’.

Today’s photo in The Canberra Times of Dugan drinking on a rooftop and sticking up his middle finger fuelled an angry reaction from fans.

Having been a Raiders fan for 20-years, Sarah Wilson said she returning her entire family’s memberships.

Wilson said she had been forced to hide the paper from her 10-year-old son.

‘‘When we received The Canberra Times [print edition] this morning I hid it because the picture of [Dugan] sticking his finger up is disgusting,’’ Wilson said.

‘‘Today is the actual date of Canberra’s 100th birthday, my husband and I wanted to keep the paper and put it away for the grandkids. Not only do I have to hide it from my son because that’s Josh Dugan sticking his finger up with a bottle of alcohol, but it’s ruined that momentous historical day.

‘‘We debated heavily about whether to become members this year just because of the drama, the performance, the scandals and never-ending headlines ... Round one, this has already happened, we’ve had enough, so we’re done.’’

The Raiders said no one had handed in their membership on Tuesday, as of 1.20pm.

I bet he pulls the pressure is getting to me line.

Shit these kids don't get it do they. To be able to do what you love and get paid well to do so thru your late teens and 20s is everyones dream.

I'm not saying they don't face considerable pressure from the fans, media and coaches to perform. But that's why the good ones, like these two dicks, get paid well above minimum wage.

The alternative is a trade or laboring or pulling beers, without a good education.

If that's what they want step aside, hit the piss with your mates, and let another keen kid take your spot.

And I'm not wanting to blame the younger generations or sound like a fossil, it's just mental that blokes with that much talent are willing to waste it without a viable alternative.

Well said Stsae, It does make you wonder sometimes.

Ferguson walked out on the Sharks and Dugan has no one but the Raiders to thank for his fame and fortune. Unfortunately they are both from the "there's no one more important than me" generation. Can't wait to see Josh behind the counter at the local Caltex.

Chook.

See a lot of this attitude here on the Coast.

Just shake my head & wonder what will become of them.

Mate I lecture/teach Hong Kong students aged between 17-23 years of age and you would not believe the amount of head shaking I do.

I'm only 39 but I am feeling more and more like a fossil everyday. These young people just don't get it. And seriously, what will become of them? What could guys like Dugan do if they were not playing footy? Not much I would say.

This is a classic case of these boys throwing their weight around because they think they are irreplaceable. The irony is that EVERYONE is replaceable in ANY job!! This is not a age related attitude you see this in any workplace, you get away with it once or twice and eventually people get sick of you and you get sacked - end of story.

Makes you glad to think we have a talented youngster by the name of Roger. This lad is a shining example of how to be a young role model. The kid cherishes his first grade jersey and studies when he isn't training.
