The Canberra Raiders are reportedly contemplating the release of young outside back Chevy Stewart.

According to zerotackle.com, Stewart, a talented fullback who can also operate as a winger, has primarily played in reserve grade throughout his career.

Despite his potential, he has not yet managed to secure a position in the first-grade lineup, particularly with Jed Stuart occupying the wing following Savelio Tamale's injury.

Moreover, Stewart finds himself behind Kaeo Weekes in the selection hierarchy for coach Ricky Stuart's team.

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has criticized the Newcastle Knights for their "disrespectful" handling of Dane Gagai's contract situation.

Despite the Knights suffering a heavy 44-18 loss to the Raiders, Gagai stood out as one of the team's best players.

Reports indicate that Gagai, currently under a $400,000 annual contract, feels disrespected by Newcastle's offer, which includes a potential extension until 2026 but would require a pay cut.

As the Knights deal with injuries and struggle in the season, Gagai has been a bright spot, stepping up in the absence of star player Kalyn Ponga.
