We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Former NRL champion Laurie Daley, who played for the Canberra Raiders, was moved to tears upon hearing about the bullying Parramatta halfback Jake Arthur faced from a segment of the Eels fanbase.
Arthur, who is the son of Parramatta coach Brad, has been accused of only being picked due to nepotism.
The abuse reached a boiling point on Saturday in Canberra when the Eels lost to the Raiders with Arthur in the halves, replacing the concussed star Mitch Moses.
Talk about dedication. Grace Kemp is giving up the chance to play for her country to be part of Canberra Raiders history - in a game she's never played.
Kemp was one of the two latest Raiders NRLW signings, along with Black Fern Cheyelle Robins-Reti, announced on Wednesday.
She could've been in camp with the Wallaroos, preparing to play Fiji at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday, but instead she's getting ready for her first NRLW pre-season - which starts Monday week.
Albert Hopoate admits he was a little worried Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart might not keep his promise to bring him straight back in after missing a game to go to his sister Laumaile's wedding.
But his faith and career-best form has been repaid in spades with a two-year contract extension.
Coincidentally his re-signing has come just days before he faces his old NRL club, Manly, at Canberra Stadium on Sunday, where he'll come up against a former Raider who played a massive role in helping him overcome back-to-back knee reconstructions as an 18 and 19-year-old.
