    Raiders to poach Brumbies as NRLW talent hunt heats up

    The Canberra Times

    The Canberra Raiders are going local and global on the hunt to land top players for their inaugural NRLW season starting next year, including snatching a few ACT Brumbies.

    Raiders chief executive Don Furner and NRLW coach Darrin Borthwick are eagerly awaiting the NRL and NRL Players' Association (RLPA) to finalise the new collective bargaining agreement which will finally allow the club to officially lock in players on contracts.

    The Raiders have still been in talks with multiple players, however they have been unable to put pen to paper to date.

    It has been revealed that the Canberra Raiders never added a clause to George Williams' contract which would allow them first right of negotiation if he decided to return to the NRL.

    Williams left the Raiders to head home in the middle of the 2021 season due to homesickness.

    The Wigan-born now 28-year-old had joined the green machine during 2020, and played 32 games for the Raiders before departing from Ricky Stuart's squad who were battling at the time.
