New Canberra Raiders recruit Simi Sasagi only needs to look at the rise of childhood mate Matt Timoko to see the potential within reach in the capital.
Auckland-born Sasagi has not come to Canberra just to add depth to the squad.
He wants to become a key player in the team and hopes the Raiders can help him wear the New Zealand jersey in the near future, just like Timoko, with whom he played junior footy.
