We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall has handed young prodigy Lachlan Galvin his NRL debut after he was named for the side's clash against Canberra.
Galvin will play five-eighth with new recruit Jayden Sullivan named at halfback while Aidan Sezer will feature off the bench in the No.14.
Sezer arrived at the club from the Super League but has seemingly missed out on a starting role to the side's younger brigade.
Homegrown Canberra star Nick Cotric has been dropped from the Raiders' starting lineup to make way for Sebastian Kris as the Green Machine gear up for a home clash against the Wests Tigers where 'rejects' are eyeing another winning performance.
Kris will kick-off his 2024 campaign on Saturday afternoon at Canberra Stadium after serving his five-game ban for a dangerous tackle last year, slotting into his preferred position in the centres.
Coach Ricky Stuart's decision means Cotric is 18th man, slipping down the outside-back pecking order. Cotric will now return to NSW Cup to push for a recall, but it's a blow for the 25-year-old who is...
Perhaps nothing sums up Canberra coach Ricky Stuart's motivational philosophy better than a sign sticky-taped to a change room locker simply reading "f*** 'em".
Emphasising a perceived lack of belief from NRL pundits, the Raiders would use that to fuel a stirring 28-12 win against Newcastle that made a mockery of predictions they'd tumble down the ladder.
