CANBERRA Raiders are adamant Blake Ferguson will be playing with the Sydney Roosters next season — but Ferguson's former club would also be stunned and disappointed if the NRL welcomed the troubled centre back in 2014.
And the Raiders received support from Channel 9 commentator Peter Sterling who spoke of his concerns in granting Ferguson an early return.

The Sunday Telegraph revealed that the Roosters had approached the NRL in a bid to get Ferguson on their books before the June 30 deadline.
Ferguson was deregistered after the Raiders sacked him last September following a series of off-field indiscretions.
ROOSTERS READY TO REBUILD FERGUSON
Ferguson was also charged and found guilty of indecent assault in Cronulla last year for which he was handed a two-year good behaviour bond in February.
Ferguson is currently recovering from a broken ankle and a split bone in his left leg.

But the Roosters want to register a contract so they can begin his rehabilitation through the club's medical staff ahead of a likely return later this year.
"I have mixed feelings about this," Sterling told The Sunday Footy Show.
"I would like to see Blake Ferguson back in the game but I do think some penance has to be served and I don't think that has been achieved as yet."
The Daily Telegraph can also reveal the Raiders are adamant Ferguson has told friends in Canberra that he will be playing for the Roosters next year.
But while Canberra were never given any assurances from the NRL as to how long Ferguson would be stood down, the Raiders would be filthy if Ferguson was allowed back so soon given the trouble he caused them last year.

It is understood the Roosters have met with the NRL and the Bondi club believes that in the right environment and with strong discipline they can help rehabilitate Ferguson.
The Raiders are yet to be contacted by the NRL about the Roosters' latest advances.
Canberra could not be accused of not giving Ferguson every chance to change his attitude.
But they were eventually forced to sake him after he went AWOL last year and embarrassed the club by turning his absence into a social media circus.
The Raiders are privately sick and tired of seeing their club take a hardline approach to poor player behaviour only to see other clubs take advantage of the situation.
They believe it would be the ultimate insult to Canberra fans and sponsors in Ferguson was allowed to sign with another club this year.
