We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Last week Simaima Taufa was smashing New Zealanders. This week she's inspiring them.
The Canberra Raiders co-captain's part of a raid across the Ditch with the aim to inspire, develop and/or find the next Taufa. The next Apii Nicholls. The next Cheyelle Robins-Reti. The next Madison Bartlett.
Robins-Reti was named to make her Kiwi Ferns debut on Tuesday - against Tonga at Eden Park on Saturday.
Just when the Canberra Raiders' stocks of Englishmen appeared to be coming to an end, they're looking to sign another.
The Raiders have their sights on Wigan lock Morgan Smithies after he tackled his way to the English Super League title.
He made 55 tackles in an 80-minute shift in the Warriors' 10-2 grand final win over Catalans at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Jamal Fogarty is set to be handed the keys to the Green Machine to steer a group of rising stars for at least the next two years with the Canberra Raider confident the halfback's best is yet to come.
Fogarty has signed a one-year extension for 2025 with a mutual option for 2026, and the new deal could ensure the playmaker, who turns 30 in December, retires as a Raider.
The departures of Jack Wighton and Matt Frawley will leave Fogarty without an experienced halves partner as coach Ricky Stuart herald's the transition into a new era in Canberra.
