We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Tim Gavel, iconic sports commentator, announces retirement after 36 years, receiving community well-wishes.
Canberra's most iconic sports commentary voice is hanging up the microphone.
After 36 years commentating Canberra Raiders and ACT Brumbies games, Tim Gavel revealed he had told the ABC this would be his last year calling sport.
Gavel dropped the news on social media, which led to a wave of well-wishes from the Canberra community, highlighting his legacy.
Billy Walters now supports Brisbane's defensive system, aiming for a team-focused win against Canberra.
Billy Walters has embraced the new Brisbane defensive system he was once sceptical about as he prepares to play Canberra in the best form of his career.
The versatile 31-year-old's punishing defence while playing five-eighth against Melbourne in the 30-14 win last week clearly inspired his teammates.
That team effort was the blueprint Walters said the Broncos must adopt in the away qualifying final clash with the Raiders on Sunday.
Tensions rise between Broncos and Raiders over parking disputes and injury mind games ahead of finals.
It's the argument over a parking space that has ignited tensions between the Brisbane Broncos and Canberra Raiders.
The Broncos' increasing agitation towards the Raiders can be revealed following revelations that Brisbane CEO Dave Donaghy escalated concerns all the way up to NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo over where the Broncos' team bus was made to park outside Canberra's GIO Stadium earlier this season.
The development has emerged ahead of the teams' huge NRL qualifying final clash back at GIO Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and amid the Broncos' sceptical view that the Raiders are playing mind games over an ankle injury to veteran prop Josh Papali'i.
This masthead can reveal that tensions were triggered when the Broncos' team bus arrived at GIO Stadium for their round 2 game, which the Raiders won 32-22.
