We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Jamal Fogarty’s first NRL contract with Parramatta lasted roughly nine months before he walked away ready to shelve his first-grade aspirations for good, but he still thanks Brad Arthur for imparting one of rugby league’s great life lessons.
Fogarty will steer Canberra’s bid for another finals upset against the Eels on Friday night and pending concussion protocols, marquee halfback Mitchell Moses.
A footballing lifetime ago, Moses’ arrival at Parramatta midway through 2017 was followed...
Allan Hawke backed Jack Wighton in some of the toughest times in the Canberra Raiders star's life.
It's why he'll be forever grateful for everything the late Raiders chairman did for not only him, but the Green Machine as well.
But Hawke was more than just a chairman - he was a mate, a mentor and a Raiders fan as well.
Unfortunately for Waqa Blake, it seems the Canberra Raiders must have tuned in for the Penrith-Parramatta qualifying final on Friday night.
The Eels' winger made four crucial errors during the match, the majority of which coming under the high ball, including the fumble that led to Brian To'o's opening try.
The centre-turned-winger has never been known for his handling, making 14 errors across Parramatta's last five games, and Raiders recruit Jamal Fogarty has certainly taken note.
