The Canberra Raiders, who are currently leading the NRL competition, have moved to re-sign a star forward who will help extend their premiership window for the foreseeable future.

Signing a two-year extension that will keep him at the club until at least 2028, Zac Hosking has made it clear he is committed to the Green Machine as they look to build a powerhouse in the nation's capital.

"Yeah, it is exciting, when the club approached me about it, I was obviously very excited and was keen to go in that direction for my future," Hosking told the media.

"It's a very bright future here at the club at the moment, so I'm just excited to be a part of it."

Since 1998, these clubs have met 41 times, with the Raiders claiming 24 victories. Recent history paints an even more one-sided picture: Canberra put the sword to the Eels twice in the past two seasons, notching up a brutal 50-12 win earlier this year and a 41-8 demolition in 2024. With the Raiders riding high on a seven-game winning streak and the Eels stumbling with four losses from their last five, the momentum is well and truly with the Green Machine.

Adding to the occasion is the Raiders' annual Forever Green celebration, with more than 50 club legends returning to GIO Stadium to honour the club's history. That sense of legacy and pride was already on full display in Round 18, when Canberra edged the Dragons 28-24 in a thrilling clash at home. Kaeo Weekes starred with a classy attacking performance, while hooker Tom Starling turned defence into offence with a crucial one-on-one strip.
