We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
If the movie Moneyball taught us anything, it's that it's important to look past the dollar amount and instead at the value, and squeeze that for all it's worth.

A whopping $4.4 million for four years. That's $1.1 million a season.
John Bateman would welcome the prospect of reuniting with Jack Wighton at Wests Tigers if the in-demand Raider opts to leave the nation’s capital.
Wighton’s is the most sought-after signature in the game after the NSW and Australian representative opted to test his value on the open market. His decision not to immediately take up an option to remain in Canberra, coupled with the interest from rival clubs, has prompted the Raiders to table a four-year, $4.4 million extension that would result in the 30-year-old finishing his career as a one-club man.

The Canberra Raiders' inaugural NRLW team have locked in their halves duo with the signing of former Parramatta Eels No.7 Ash Quinlan.
Quinlan and rugby convert Sophie Holyman are the two latest recruits for the Raiders ahead of the 2023 NRLW season beginning July 22.
Quinlan is excited to team up with ex-Roosters five-eighth and the league's leading points-scorer last season, Zahara Temara, who was revealed among the club's first signings Simaima Taufa and Monalisa Soliola on Monday.
