Canberra coach Ricky Stuart calls win over Roosters a glimpse of his club's promising future.
Canberra coach Ricky Stuart said Sunday night's
hard-fought win over the Roosters
was a "glimpse of our future" at his rising club.
Only the Bulldogs sit above them on the ladder and that's because of the NRL's puzzling decision to give teams two points for the bye.
The Raiders have stunned all and sundry this season to sit second on the ladder with the most wins of any team after 13 rounds.
Stuart's side were building nicely last season as he blooded several young guns who hit the ground running, but nobody expected them to be genuine title contenders in 2025.
Yet here we are halfway through the season with the Green Machine up to their eyeballs in premiership contention.
