There’s a serious battle unfolding in Canberra this summer as to who will wear the Raiders’ No. 9 jersey in 2023.
It’s Tom Starling, the man consistently told he was too small to make the NRL, versus the late-blooming son of a gun Zac Woolford.
Starling is fighting to be the Raiders’ starting hooker in Round 1 for the second year in a row after going head-to-head with Josh Hodgson last summer.
