The current crop of Canberra Raiders are representing Don Furner snr every day. Through their day-to-day actions they can help honour the man who helped build the Green Machine. Furner died aged 87 on Monday following a long battle with illness. He built the foundations on which the club became a powerhouse in the late 1980s and early '90s, coaching them to their first ever grand final appearance in '87 before they would go on to win a maiden premiership two years later. Raiders five-eighth Jack Wighton never met him, but has known his sons Don jnr - Canberra's chief executive - and David, who was the Raiders coach when Wighton made his NRL debut in 2012, for years.
