We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The ACT government is racing to close a pitch invader loophole at its major stadiums before the football season starts.
Territory government officials are on the verge of ticking off legislation which would endorse a monetary fine for anyone who breaches conditions of entry at Canberra Stadium by running onto the field.
The move to close the loophole comes as the NRL unveils 10 commandments for fans to follow with a new spectator code of conduct.
The Canberra Raiders have announced that Brock Sheppard has been given the role of NSW Cup coach, a move that has been met with excitement and anticipation within the club.
Sheppard, a seasoned coach with experience at various clubs, will bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the role.
Having previously worked with the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles as assistant coach, Sheppard is well-equipped to take on the challenges of his new position.
With Justin Giteau transitioning to the role of NRL assistant coach, Sheppard's appointment signals a new era for the Raiders' coaching staff.
The Canberra Raiders have reportedly rejected a release request put forward by hooker Zac Woolford to join another NRL team.
This isn't the first time Woolford has been rumoured to be leaving the Raiders, as he was previously permitted by the club to explore his options at other teams in September.
It also coincides with reports that the hooker has fallen down the pecking order in favour of Danny Levi and Tom Starling ahead of this season, despite starting in 21 games for the club last season in first grade.
