David Furner (born 6 February 1971) is an Australian professional rugby league football coach who was the head coach of the Leeds Rhinos, and a former player.

He is the former assistant coach for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL, and the former head coach of the Canberra Raiders with whom he spent his whole Australian playing career.

A New South Wales State of Origin and Australia national representative goal-kicking second-row forward, he left the Raiders as the third greatest point-scoring forward in NRL history before enjoying a successful career in England with the Wigan Warriors and the Leeds Rhinos.

Son of former Eastern Suburbs and Canberra Raiders coach and Australian Kangaroos footballer, and coach, Don Furner, David Furner was born in Queanbeyan, New South Wales on 6 February 1971.

Before embarking on a successful career in rugby league, Furner was a Queanbeyan Whites rugby union junior and a member of the Australian under-17 and under-21 rugby union team.

Furner's father, Don, chairman of selectors, abstained from voting.

He made his test début for Australia in the opening Ashes series test at Wembley Stadium on 22 October 1994, though Australia were ultimately defeated 6–4 by Great Britain.

2003

However a gutsy performance against Manly in Sydney proved to be the catalyst for a great run of form that resulted in the Raiders playing the best football they have played since 2003, including the first finals win in approximately 10 years.

Unfortunately the fairytale was not to be with the team succumbing to the Wests Tigers in a hard-fought match in front of a sold out Bruce Stadium.

2004

Unfortunately though the team got off to almost the worst possible start, winning only 1 of its first 9 games with Furner claiming the dubious honour of coaching the team to the most consecutive losses in its history, with 8 straight defeats between round 2 and round 9 of that year.

He found his position at the club under intense criticism from fans however his security was guaranteed by the club publicly.

2013
