Canberra announce maiden NRLW coach
Raiders appoint Borthwick as inaugural NRLW coach
Third time's a charm for Darrin Borthwick.
The inaugural Canberra Raiders NRLW coach has been part of the coaching ranks at two previous maiden clubs, but now he's got the top job in creating the foundations.
He was also an assistant with the New Zealand Warriors in 2020.
The Mole: Raiders rob Dragons of five young guns in stunning off-season attack
Canberra has pulled off a shock attack on St George Illawarra, pinching five of the best up-and-coming players from the Dragons' ranks.
In an audacious move, the Raiders have lived up to their name by snaring five rising stars in a move that has infuriated the Dragons.
The five 18-year-olds were seen as part of the future plans of the Dragons - and at least six more quality youngsters have been signed by other clubs, as well.
The players who have made the move to the ACT are Country under-18s and Dapto fullback Jack Piccirilli, hooker Jaxon Lavender, the Dragons' under-18 player of the year from the Dapto Canaries, utility back Sean Trindall (Shellharbour Stingrays), fullback Judd Stevenson (Corrimal Cougars) and centre James Walsh (Albion Park).
