We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The Canberra Raiders have re-signed NRLW coach Darrin Borthwick on a new three-year deal, which will see him remain as coach of the side until the end of the 2027 NRLW season.
Borthwick coached the club's inaugural NRLW side last year, who had a successful first season, just missing out on making finals.
Borthwick said he's excited to continue his role for an additional three years post this season.
Despite expectations, the Canberra Raiders struggle at home but perform well in away games.
The home ground is expected to provide fortress-like protection against visiting teams. For the Canberra Raiders this season, GIO Stadium is proving to be anything but.
This is a conundrum given the idea that the cool conditions, the raucous home crowd, the travel and the Viking Clap are supposed to provide a cauldron-like atmosphere for opposition teams.
The Raiders' best performances this season have been away with victories over Newcastle, Manly and the Bulldogs. Although, admittedly, the Bulldogs game in Brisbane was an away game for both sides in Magic Round.
Kai O'Donnell returns to NRL with North Queensland Cowboys after 4-year absence from league.
Four years since his last game in the NRL, Kai O'Donnell is set to make his miraculous return to the NRL, having reportedly signed with a team for the 2025 season.
A former second-rower and lock for the Canberra Raiders, O'Donnell struggled to cement a regular spot in the team and would only manage four career NRL appearances.
After reports emerged that he would be leaving his current club at the end of the season, News Corp is now reporting that he will return to Australia next season and join the North Queensland Cowboys.
