We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Xavier Savage says his contract extension comes with added pressure to make the Canberra Raiders' No.1 jersey his own.
But the 20-year-old was confident he could handle it and was excited by the prospect of what he could produce in the future.
Given what he's shown during his 16-game career, especially in last week's win over St George Illawarra, it doesn't take a leap of faith to see him turning that pressure into diamonds over the next three years.
Exciting young fullback Xavier Savage has re-signed with the Canberra Raiders until the end of the 2025 season.
Savage is currently on contract with the club until the end of the 2023 season, with the two-year extension seeing him stay with the green machine for the next three seasons.
After three appearances in 2021, Savage took over as the Raiders’ number one fullback in round 12 against the Eels this season and has continued to improve each week.
No Kalyn Ponga, no Bradman Best, no worries? No way. The Canberra Raiders are expecting Newcastle to come out firing for their debutant Krystian Mapapalangi.
The Raiders face a depleted Knights outfit at Newcastle on Sunday needing to win to keep their NRL finals hopes alive.
It's a team they've struggled against in recent years, losing four of their past six games, with Ponga a constant thorn in their side.
