The Canberra Raiders have said their goodbyes to dynamic winger Semi Valemei.
The 24-year-old was re-signed in 2021 to remain in Canberra until the end of next season, but now the Fijian international is set to take up a new contract with the North Queensland Cowboys in his quest to play more NRL games.
"It was a really tough moment [Thursday] morning, when Semi, a very quiet guy, spoke to the group," Raiders coach Ricky Stuart confirmed.
