'Hunt stays there': Cronk's blunt Broncos rethink as masterclass upends Mam plan
Cronk backs Reynolds-Hunt pairing, warns Broncos should not break them up when Mam returns.

Cooper Cronk has seen enough of the Adam Reynolds-Ben Hunt halves pairing to know the Broncos shouldn't break it up when Ezra Mam returns from suspension mid-season.
"That combination of Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt is going to be a very, very good thing," Cronk said on Matty and Cronk.

Reynolds had a linebreak assists and three try assists in the 50-14 win over the Broncos, while his new five-eighth Hunt has 34 run metres, a linebreak, a linebreak assist and a try as the pair sent an ominous warning to the rest of the NRL.
Originally Hunt was brought to the Broncos to play hooker and offer cover for the halves, but Cronk believes Michael Maguire must keep him in the halves in a one-two punch with Reynolds for the rest of the season.

The Canberra Times
Most tourists coming back from Las Vegas will bring back souvenir poker chips, but the Canberra Raiders have a much bigger memento in mind - their brand new American-made Viking Horn.
The initial plan was to leave the custom-built horn in Vegas, however the club was so impressed by it, Raiders chief executive Don Furner decided it'd be the perfect souvenir to remember their historic 2025 season-opener.
"We're going to try and bring the horn back and put it in our reception as a memento," Furner told The Canberra Times. "We are just waiting for pricing on the freight.
