NSW star Blake Ferguson has expressed anger at being blamed for the sacking of Canberra coach David Furner and vowed to repair his off-field image.
Ferguson, who travelled to Sydney on Thursday to help his cousin Anthony Mundine coach the Alexandria Rovers under-10s team, insisted he had not decided whether to invoke a get-out clause in his Raiders contract and indicated the identity of Furner's replacement may have a bearing on his future at the club.
''It's not about money, it's about my happiness,'' said Ferguson, who admitted he enjoyed life in Sydney and revealed he had spoken to Cronulla captain Paul Gallen on Thursday while the Cronulla captain was training with Tony Mundine.
Ferguson said he had wanted a get-out clause in his new two-year Raiders contract if Furner was no longer in charge for security. His relationship with the coach sparked speculation that he was the cause of a player revolt.
While Canberra players have denied going to the board over the issue, some were known to be unhappy about Furner's support for Ferguson whenever he had problems off the field.
