Canberra star Brett White has admitted he and skipper Terry Campese approached Raiders board members to express disgruntlement the night before coach David Furner’s axing.

White and injured skipper Terry Campese went to a meeting with board member David Thom and major stakeholder Simon Hawkins on Monday night.

When asked on Friday if he went to the board to express disgruntlement with Furner, White replied: “In every organisation there’s going to be disgruntlement.

“I don’t deny there were issues but I’m not going to go into those issues.

“It’s not a public forum. They’re issues that have been brought up before and had been brought up with Dave (Furner).”

White, who was co-captain while Campese was injured last week, said he was still shocked to hear Furner had been sacked the following day.

“He’s a big part of this club and always will be,” White said.

“It’s unfortunate the way it all happened, but it’s done now and we’re prepared to move on and are excited about moving forward.

“We went in there with all good intentions of the club in mind. Those issues have been brought up before in the past.”
