We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Gold Coast Titans aim to improve defense against Canberra Raiders after recent losses. Easter clash.
The Gold Coast Titans will look to rise up the premiership ladder when they host an Easter Sunday clash against the in-form Canberra Raiders.
Returning to CBUS Super Stadium intent on making amends following back-to-back losses, the Gold Coast Titans will be eyeing an improved defensive display after conceding a dozen tries over the past fortnight.
Jamal Fogarty may reject Manly for two-year deal with Canberra, including on-field clauses for extension.
Halfback Jamal Fogarty will now consider rejecting Manly to re-sign with Canberra after the Raiders revised their offer to two years.
It would be a crushing blow to Manly, who had targeted Fogarty as a replacement for veteran skipper Daly Cherry-Evans from next season.
Having initially a one-year deal, Raiders management has now tabled a two-season contract which would mean Fogarty could stay in Canberra and avoid shifting his family to Sydney.
Canberra has included some clauses Fogarty must achieve on-field to trigger the second year.
Those close to the negotiations suggest the kickers would be attainable to Fogarty.
The amended Raiders offer...
The Raiders offer Jamal Fogarty a two-year contract to stay, competing with Manly for replacement for Cherry-Evans.
The Raiders have tabled a two-year offer in a bid to keep halfback Jamal Fogarty in Canberra as the playmaker weighs up an offer to replace Daly Cherry-Evans on the northern beaches.
Manly had come knocking in a bid to sign Fogarty as a replacement for Cherry-Evans, who has declared his intention to leave the Sea Eagles at the end of the NRL season.
The Raiders had opted against triggering a one-year option worth about $650,000, but have instead moved to construct a two-year contract reportedly worth up to $1 million.
