We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Jayden Brailey leaves Knights after 2025 season for Canberra Raiders, his third NRL club.
Knights hooker Jayden Brailey has confirmed he will depart the club after the 2025 campaign, bringing to an end a six-year stint with Newcastle.
Brailey will join the Canberra Raiders on a two-year deal commencing ahead of the 2026 season.
It will be the 28-year-old's third NRL club, after playing 69 games for his debut side Cronulla across 2017-19 and 63 for Newcastle since 2020.
Raiders improved, stadium issues persist, new venue needed to address smell and internet problems.
As much as the Raiders looked like a much improved team on the weekend, the same could not be said for Canberra Stadium, with bad smells and internet issues again causing havoc and highlighting the need for a new and improved venue.
It was just last year that Raiders coach Ricky Stuart attracted national attention to the poor state of the ageing stadium when he expressed his dismay - and embarrassment - at the foul odour emitted near the player change rooms at an NRL game.
Nearly to the day 12 months ago, it was the Wests Tigers that had the pleasure of that experience, but on Saturday night, it was the Brisbane Broncos' turn.
Raiders upset Broncos but face setback as player Zac Hosking suffers hand injury. Surgery possible.
The Canberra Raiders were swiftly brought back down to earth after their incredible upset over the Brisbane Broncos, as an unfortunate injury setback hit a star member of their squad.
Versatile second-rower Zac Hosking is set to be sidelined after the club revealed he suffered a hand injury against the Broncos.
"Hosking has a suspected broken hand and will meet with a specialist on Monday to determine if the injury will require surgery and how long he will be on the sideline," the Raiders said in a statement.
