Raiders' Don Furner criticizes NRL for biased 2026 draw favoring Brisbane Broncos' home games.
Canberra Raiders boss Don Furner has publicly blasted the NRL over the 2026 premiership draw, accusing the league of favouring the Brisbane Broncos by "orchestrating" a schedule that gives them a clear advantage.
The outburst came after the NRL released its 2026 fixture list, which sees the reigning premiers enjoy an extraordinary 14 games at Suncorp Stadium, including being listed as the 'away team' for Magic Round.
"I think they end up playing 14 games at home because they also play Redcliffe there," Furner told reporters.
"They are very, very lucky, but I can't wait for the year they miss out on Magic Round."
