    It's been nearly 29 years since David Westley won the premiership with the Canberra Raiders, but the memories made in the capital are unforgettable.

    Westley happily travelled down memory lane while back in Canberra this weekend along with a group of Raiders greats for the annual Forever Green round.

    The former Papua New Guinea international was announced on Saturday night as the latest addition to the club's Hall of Fame with fellow Raiders legend, John Lomax.

    Without Video Ezy John Lomax may never have become the Canberra Raiders legend he is revered as today.

    The thundering forward and former Kiwi captain is renowned for his tough-as-guts playing style during Canberra's most successful era, especially alongside friend and teammate Quentin Pongia who was recruited with him from New Zealand by Tim Sheens.

    Playing 65 games for the Green Machine between 1993-1996 before stints at the North Queensland Cowboys and Melbourne Storm, Lomax was instrumental in Canberra's run to the 1994 grand final.

    Queanbeyan Kangaroos captain-coach Sam Williams said losing two club legends Rodger Tate and Brian Fitzgerald over the last fortnight inspired their dominant victory over the West Belconnen Warriors to stay undefeated in the Canberra Raiders Cup.

    The hosts were dominant from the outset on their way to a 44-6 triumph at Freebody Oval on Saturday, but this meant more than your normal triumph.

    "There's no doubt that whenever someone like those guys pass away you want to try to do them proud, and our defence in the first half especially reflected that," Williams said.
