We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The cost of seven stadium reports has reached $1.6 million, with details still pending from the ACT government despite previous inquiries.
While we're no closer to a new stadium location, we're at least closer to knowing how much the seven stadium reports have cost.
It's a very healthy $1.6 million and counting.
Locker Room asked the ACT government how much all these studies cost almost exactly two years ago to the day, but didn't get much of a response.
The Raiders are one of the most up in the air clubs when it comes to goal kicking in 2026.
Jamal Fogarty was the man in 2025, but he will wear the Manly Sea Eagles' jersey in the new year.
It means Ethan Sanders - who is his most likely replacement - could well take the goal-kicking reins, albeit with one major caveat.
Will he actually be playing?
Coby Black has been signed by the club and could yet take the number seven jumper if not in Round 1, then at some point during the year.
That could mean Ethan Strange or Kaeo Weekes wind up kicking goals, but for now, we will say Sanders has first shot at it.
The Canberra Raiders, known as the Green Machine, sport green jerseys with blue and gold stripes.
Since their inception, the Canberra Raiders have been synonymous with their signature green color, which has become a hallmark of their home jersey. This affiliation has led fans and commentators alike to refer to the team as the Green Machine, a nickname that persists to this day.
In addition to the green, a distinct feature of their jerseys is the blue and gold stripe on the sleeves, symbolizing the traditional sporting colors of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).
The first jersey worn by the Raiders upon entering the NSWRL in 1982 was the result of a design competition aimed at creating a uniform that would not conflict with those of other clubs. The chosen colors of green and white were inspired by Hall, the first rugby league team in the region.
Incorporating blue and gold stripes as part of the winning design ensured that they would become a crucial element in various versions of the Raiders' jerseys throughout the years.
