We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
An independent board for Canberra's new stadium has sparked debate on suitable candidates to manage its development and present plans to government within a year.

The idea to launch an independent board overseeing the development of a new stadium in Canberra has sparked plenty of conversation - good and bad - this week.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart now opposes the six-again rule, claiming it harms the game's integrity and causes confusion.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has backflipped on his stance concerning the six-again rule, arguing the way it's interpreted now is ruining "the fabric of the game".
Speaking at his weekly press conference on Thursday, Stuart admitted he was originally a fan of the rule but had since changed his mind.

The Perth Bears are interested in Raiders centre Matt Timoko amid uncertainty about his contract and reduced playing time.
The Perth Bears have shown interest in Canberra Raiders centre Matt Timoko, with the expansion side understood to be closely monitoring his contract situation as uncertainty builds around his future in the nation's capital.
Timoko, 26, has been a long-serving Raider since making his NRL debut in 2020, going on to play 112 games for the club.
However, his role has significantly reduced in 2026, with the centre managing just one NRL appearance this season as Simi Sasagi has been preferred in the centres.
That lack of game time has come as his contract situation also remains unresolved, with a mutual option in place for next season.
