We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Following a successful NRL combine on the weekend before the two opening games in Las Vegas, an athlete from America is set to sign with an Australian rugby league club.
The Canberra Raiders are set to become the first rugby league team to sign a United States athlete from the combine, per News Corp.
The publication reports that the club are currently in talks with Samoan powerhouse Liz Tafuna to sign her to the NRLW team - Canberra Raiders NRLW - after impressing throughout the combine.
The 2024 NRL season is a time of rebirth and regrowth for the Green Machine.
Of the next generation of Canberra Raiders stars, here's the five most important players for the upcoming campaign.
Both the Sea Eagles and Broncos have been hit with injury blows, with Jason Saab and Brendan Piakura set for sideline stints.
"Any time you see one of your real speed men pull up like that it's not ideal, obviously he'll get scans in Australia, we've got a long turnaround but it's probably doubtful he'll play in that Roosters game," Anthony Seibold said.
In the first Las Vegas clash, Saab pulled up lame in the closing minutes of the clash, grabbing at his hamstring.
The 23-year-old looked unsettled, grabbing at his leg whilst standing beyond the dead ball line in a horrible sight for Manly fans.
