We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Trials by name and trials by nature.
Normally Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart isn't the biggest fan of pre-season trials, but he's set to use both this year to give the young guns vying for key positions every chance to stake their claims for round one.
Stuart's vowed to give youth the chance to lock down both the fullback and five-eighth roles this season, with the Green Machine's trials against Parramatta and the North Queensland Cowboys shaping as crucial parts of that.
Joe Tapine wants to captain the Canberra Raiders, but he's also happy to bide his time and keep learning.
The powerful Raiders prop said there hadn't been much discussion around the captaincy yet and Elliott Whitehead might lead the Green Machine on his own for the 2024 NRL season.
The Raiders have had co-captains since 2019, when Josh Hodgson was elevated to the role alongside Jarrod Croker.
