    Raiders close on contract calls for centre duo

    The Raiders plan to keep Matthew Timoko until 2028, but Sebastian Kris's future remains uncertain.

    The Canberra Raiders are set to retain centre Matthew Timoko beyond the end of 2026, but the future remains clouded for Sebastian Kris.

    Timoko was earlier this year viewed as a likely candidate to leave the nation's capital, but that has taken a turn, with a fresh News Corp report revealing he is likely to have a club option taken up.

    The contract for Timoko includes a club option through to the end of 2028, which could lock him into the nation's capital for another 24 months.

    Timoko was in and out of Ricky Stuart's side early in the year as the veteran head coach grappled with exactly what his best 17 looked like.

    Talks have commenced with Canberra Raiders forward Matty Nicholson to extend his stay in the capital beyond next year.

    Nicholson's 2026 season has been quite tumultuous due to offseason shoulder surgery, but he has managed to return and play in four of the last five matches for the Raiders.

    Prior to the shoulder issue, he faced a syndesmosis injury and fractured fibula, sidelining him for four months during his debut season in 2025.

    The Canberra Raiders are pursuing player contracts, offering extensions to Matty Nicholson and Matt Timoko, while also targeting Jaiyden Hunt from Brisbane.

    The Canberra Raiders have tabled two offers to bolster their pack as uncertainty continues to surround Hudson Young's future, while another key player has been locked in for next year.

    Matty Nicholson is contracted until the end of 2027 and will be free to speak to other clubs from November 1.

    But the Raiders have offered him a two-year extension, with an option for a third year - which would keep him in Canberra until at least the end of 2030 if he took it up.
