Investment is needed to improve Canberra’s “embarrassing” stadium facilities before their NRLW team debuts, says Raiders’ chief executive Don Furner.
Such is the situation at GIO Stadium, says Furner, players would have to get changed outside the stadium if multiple grades are played on the same day when the women’s team is in action.
It comes after continued inaction on either a redevelopment of the suburban GIO Stadium or a new facility being built, potentially in Canberra’s city.

With the ink on Xavier Savage's new contract still wet, the Canberra Raiders have made moves to lock in the world's best prop long term.
The Raiders met with Joe Tapine's management on the weekend and held "positive" talks to extend his contract beyond next year.
Tapine's emerged as the best front-rower in the NRL this season and leads the league for post-contact metres.
