We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Former Canberra Raider Terry Campese has finally decided to retire from rugby league as a player for good.
Campese last played professional rugby league in 2016, having left the Canberra Raiders at the end of the 2014 season.
He played 139 games across an injury-ravaged 11 seasons for the Raiders, before shifting to Hull KR, where he played another 26 games in two seasons.
Zac Woolford reckons it would have killed him.
But the 26-year-old was content to hang the boots up to “shovel shit”, trading rugby league for early mornings at the Randwick stables working under Peter and Paul Snowden.
It was only a few months ago Woolford was coming off the bench for the Newtown Jets in NSW Cup games at Henson Park. Now he finds himself on the cusp of an NRL elimination final against the best hooker in rugby league.
A second lease on a dream means Woolford will start at...
If Elliott Whitehead ever had the feeling he was being watched, it was probably Hudson Young.
The boom Canberra Raiders second-rower has modelled his game on his co-captain, with the England international reciprocating by taking the Newcastle junior under his wing.
It's helped create one of the best second-rowers in the NRL.
