2022 Dally M team of the year member Joseph Tapine, who quickly became the best prop in the NRL during an enormous second half of the season, believes Emre Guler will be the club's breakout star this year.

Tapine, always a threat, took his game to the next level in 2022 as he formed a damaging middle-third combination with Josh Papalii during the second half of the season.

The green machine went on a run to the finals, ultimately knocking over the Melbourne Storm in an upset away from home after finishing eighth, before falling to the Parramatta Eels the following week to have their season ended at the semi-final stage.

Entering the 2023 season with the second-longest premiership drought in the NRL, the Raiders are looking to win the title for the first time since 1994.

Finishing last season in the eighth position they shocked the Melbourne Storm defeating them 28-20 in the first round of the finals series. However, their luck didn't continue in the following week losing to the Eels by 36 points.
