NRL chief Andrew Abdo is adamant Canberra needs a new state of the art stadium to give fans "the best possible experience live" after one of the city's biggest crowds shivered through a piece of rugby league history.

A crowd of 21,082 watched Raiders captain Jarrod Croker's 300^th NRL game to mark one of the biggest regular season crowds for either rugby code in Canberra Stadium's history, and the largest crowd since the 2019 preliminary final.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr is forging ahead with plans to redevelop the Bruce precinct despite industry leaders and fans demanding he reconsider plans to abandon a new stadium in Civic.

A return date for Corey Harawira-Naera is still unclear as the Canberra Raiders utility continues to undergo testing following a "scary" seizure he suffered in round 13.

Harawira-Naera was estimated to miss up to six weeks after he collapsed and suffered a seizure in Canberra's 33-26 win over South Sydney Rabbitohs at Homebush in late May.

The game was stopped for 10 minutes while medical staff from both the Rabbitohs and Raiders attended to Harawira-Naera, before he was stretchered off the field and taken to hospital.
