Welcome to The Furnace!
In this weekly preview,
foxsports.com.au
will dissect every game by looking at each team's burning question.
From how closely we should read into early season form to the biggest stars with the most to prove, here is what we will be watching for in Round 5!
Canberra Raiders may extend Jamal Fogarty's contract, potentially making him a free agent in 2026.
Canberra Raiders halfback, Jamal Fogarty, could be on his way out, pending his club's decision to activate a clause in his contract to extend his time at the Green Machine.He currently has an option in his contract that could see him become a free agent for 2026, and with several clubs in the hunt for a halfback of his calibre, the 31-year-old could be playing his last season in a lime green jumper."I'll sit down with them [Fogarty's management] at the right time," he told the media on Wednesday.
Ricky Stuart coached Craig Fitzgibbon, who knows what to expect in Sharks vs Raiders game.
Craig Fitzgibbon has been coached by Ricky Stuart at club, state and international level, and the Sharks coach will know what he's walking into on Thursday night. I just hope his players do, too.
It's an old-fashioned Raiders ambush just waiting to happen. When Canberra are playing at home they are just a totally different proposition and a 10- to 12-point better team.
"Sticky" plotted and executed a physical ambush on the Broncos a few weeks ago and even though the Raiders are coming off a couple of losses on the road, Cronulla will need to pack their overalls. Because it's going to be down and dirty in the nation's capital.
