The Canberra Raiders board has delayed a meeting on the future of disgraced NRL player Joel Monaghan until Tuesday.

A statement from the club says Monaghan is being given time to meet with his manager Jim Banaghan who's travelling to Canberra for discussions with him.

Raiders chief executive Don Furner said the club's board would take into consideration the views and interests of the senior playing group when it meets.

Monaghan's career has been hanging in the balance since photographs of him in a simulated sex act with a dog were circulated on the social networking site Twitter last week.

Raiders star Terry Campese has indicated he's talked with teammates and they're keen to urge the board to keep Monaghan.

The Raiders statement refuted reports that Monaghan has quit the club.

"He has not resigned from the club and the board has not yet determined an outcome on his future," Furner said.

Media reports have linked Monaghan with the English Super League if he does not play with the Raiders in the NRL next year.

Monaghan's brother Michael currently plays for the English club Warrington.
