The Raiders are extending Ata Mariota's contract and retaining Chevy Stewart, while Morgan Smithies will likely depart for the Perth Bears.
The Canberra Raiders are set to lock prop Ata Mariota into a contract extension and activate an option for back Chevy Stewart to remain at the club.
As it stands, the Raiders have been one of the quietest clubs on the transfer market for 2027, with nine spots available, but no confirmed signings or departures.
It's believed forward Morgan Smithies will become the first confirmed departure to the Perth Bears, while Josh Papalii is also set to leave to either retirement or the English Super League, but to balance out the departures in the middle third, The Canberra Times have revealed Ata Mariota has re-signed through to the end of 2028.
Mariota has been one of the rising stars of the Canberra forward pack, and could go to another level next year with more responsibility.
