Canberra Raiders seek lessons for 2026 after missing finals; Jonah Pezet eyed as Fogarty replacement.
After falling short of a preliminary finals berth despite their first-place finish in 2025, the Canberra Raiders are hoping to take some lessons into next year.
While they will be hoping to replicate their regular-season form in 2026, they'll be without their star halfback, with Jamal Fogarty off to the Manly Sea Eagles.
Melbourne Storm star Jonah Pezet has been identified as the ideal replacement for Fogarty, with the young halfback eyeing a move from Victoria following the re-signing of Jahrome Hughes.
Contracted until 2029, Pezet has been granted permission to look elsewhere due to the logjam at halfback, even if just for a season on a loan deal.
