    Former NRL star Curtis Scott has been filmed in a wild footy brawl while playing for Thirlmere in the Wests Group Macarthur First Grade competition.

    The former Storm and Raiders star can be seen throwing wild blows at an opposition player from the Narellan Jets, having seemingly objected to something that occurred during the tackle.

    The 25-year-old appears to land multiple blows to his opponent’s head before other players run in and stop the fight.

    A leap of faith from one of the NRLW's biggest stars can help the Canberra Raiders combat one of their biggest obstacles as they look to establish themselves as a premiership force.

    The Raiders have 18 of their 24 players signed with new faces to be unveiled later this week, joining Simaima Taufa, Zahara Temara and and Monalisa Soliola in the club's inaugural NRLW squad.

    But putting that roster together has been no mean feat for expansion clubs like Canberra and North Queensland, who must try to convince the code's best talent to move their entire lives to new cities.

    Simaima Taufa can laugh about it now. Getting older, she thought, and wondering what she wanted to do about rugby league.

    The body still feels good, and the 28-year-old international is still by far and away one of the NRLW's premier middle forwards - so when Don Furner came calling, she was always going to listen.

    The Canberra Raiders chief executive called Taufa while she was in York with the Australian team, en route to another World Cup triumph last year. A new version of the Green Machine was being built, and they wanted Taufa in the engine room.
