After exceeding expectations in 2022, Canberra halves Jack Wighton and Jamal Fogarty are confident this could the year the Raiders return to the premiership-winning circle.

Fogarty missed the first half of the season last year after suffering a knee injury in the trials, playing just 12 games next to each other for seven wins and five losses, however the duo are keen to make up for lost time in 2023.

The two halves are the only confirmed members of Ricky Stuart's Round 1 spine after fullback Xavier Savage broke his jaw in last week's trial against Canterbury, while Danny Levi, Zac Woolford and Tom Starling fight it out for the starting hooker role.

The Canberra Raiders hooker's had to an endure a tough two years after he was assaulted by NSW police on the Central Coast at the end of 2020, before he was finally cleared in court last week.

While the 25-year-old still has one minor matter before the courts, it's basically all behind him and the Raiders rake was determined to ensure his focus was purely on football.

They'll also travel to Wagga Wagga to play the Redcliffe Dolphins in round six on April 29.
