Senator Pocock criticizes leaking ceiling footage at Canberra Stadium, declaring it beyond its useful life after a recent storm.

The Canberra Times

Senator David Pocock says "embarrassing" footage of a leaking ceiling inside Canberra Stadium's main change room proves the venue "has not just reached the end of its useful life but gone well beyond it".

The Canberra Times has obtained footage of a leak - which reared its head when a storm swept through the stadium on Saturday night - inside the change room used by both the ACT Brumbies and Canberra Raiders.

Lightning forced an 85-minute delay to the Brumbies' gut-wrenching Super Rugby loss to the Queensland Reds, and footage of a bolt hitting a steel mast on the roof of the stadium was beamed across the Tasman.

Canberra Raiders great Laurie Daley dropping the replica 1989 premiership trophy out the back of a ute - just like he did with the original all those years ago.

The Raiders have had replicas made of their three Winfield Cups from 1989, 1990 and 1994.

Canberra chief executive Don Furner picked the trophies up from Sydney last weekend, while he was in the Harbour City for the Green Machine's season opener against Manly at Brookvale.

Canberra Raiders back-up outside back Chevy Stewart seems almost certain to leave the club at the end of the 2026 season.

The 20-year-old has struggled to break into first grade at this early stage of his career in Canberra, and now seems destined to need a move away from Canberra if he is going to do so.

Able to also play on the wing or at centre, Stewart's primary position at the back of the field is under lock and key to Kaeo Weekes.

The former Manly Sea Eagles star, in a tip off of exactly how highly he is viewed by the brass in the nation's capital, had his contract extended twice in the 12 months to the end of the 2025 campaign, and is now locked in long-term to remain in lime green.
