The Daily Telegraph reports that long time Raiders’ boss John McIntyre is standing down:
McIntyre is believed to be leaving after being worn down by the Raiders’ faltering season, for which he has attracted a heavy share of blame.
After guaranteeing David Furner would see out his contract, McIntyre was forced to sack Furner last month, the first time in the club’s 32 year history a coach has not seen out his contract.
McIntyre is expected to be replaced by board member and highly respected former public servant Allan Hawke.
