We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
In the 1990s, the Raiders played a trial in Moruya. Laurie Daley was the star attraction and there was a promise of good times ahead.
Close to 30 years later, the Raiders are poised to return with a pre-season trial against the Bulldogs on 12 February.
Fittingly, the game will be played at the Ack Weyman Oval where you will find statues and head busts of both Ack and his son Michael at the entrance to the ground.
Everyone loves a comeback story. You know the ones that make you feel something running down your spine, like when the country kid done good defies the odds to realise a dream?
How about the players with a point to prove, the stars carrying the weight of a nation on their shoulders and the world championships stolen from the jaws of defeat?
A tennis star who refuses to conform? By the way, no prizes for guessing who. The chance to bring down Goliath? Ashes being reignited? Civil wars redefining the future of a sport?
