We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The Reardon family tragically lost two sons recently, including their youngest, Lachie, a Raiders fan.

Kirsten Tapine's strong convictions helped her husband overcome a gambling addiction and improve himself.
Kirsten Tapine has always been a force to be reckoned with - just ask her husband, Canberra skipper Joe Tapine, and Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.

Craig Fitzgibbon believes Ronaldo Mulitalo must stay calm against Hudson Young for the Sharks' success.
Craig Fitzgibbon insists Cronulla's pest-in-chief Ronaldo Mulitalo can keep a cool head for the sake of the Sharks' season when he faces another famous firebrand in Hudson Young.
Match officials took a tough stance on argy-bargy during Canberra's week-one finals loss, controversially sin-binning Young for chirping at Reece Walsh before also binning the Brisbane star for headbutting in retaliation.
The match turned on its head once tempers boiled over, with the Raiders extending their lead shortly thereafter before falling victim to a Broncos comeback once a spurned Walsh returned.
