Canberra Raiders sign Jaiyden Hunt and Lipoi Hopoi for 2027, filling key forward positions after player departures.
Canberra's forward pack will undergo major changes after Josh Papalii's retirement and the departures of Morgan Smithies and Corey Horsburgh to the Perth Bears.
The Raiders have responded by signing Brisbane forward Jaiyden Hunt and Canterbury middle forward Lipoi Hopoi for 2027.
Both players agreed to two-year contracts, keeping them in Canberra through at least the end of 2028.
The double signing fills two of the nine positions remaining on Ricky Stuart's roster for next season.
