We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles winger Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega has recently signed a one-year deal with the club for the 2024 season.
According to seaeagles.com.au, Tuaimalo Vaega made his NRL debut for the Sea Eagles in round 24 last year, playing against Canberra at GIO Stadium.
Since then, he has played a total of nine games for Manly.
Known for his powerful and hard-running style of play, Tuaimalo Vaega has proven to be a strong defender on the field.
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles claimed their fifth first grade premiership 36 years ago today, with Coach Bob Fulton leading the team to victory.
The Sea Eagles defeated the Canberra Raiders 18-8 in the grand final, which took place at the historic Sydney Cricket Ground.
Paul Vautin captained the team during this memorable season.
Manly had a dominant year in 1987, finishing as minor premiers and recording a remarkable 12-game winning streak from rounds 9 to 21.
Canberra Raiders chairman Dennis Richardson says uncertainty shrouding the ACT Brumbies' future should not stop the capital getting a "proper stadium".
He pointed to both Townsville and Newcastle as examples of regional cities that had viable stadiums but didn't have a Super Rugby team.
Richardson also felt without a new stadium on the horizon it was unlikely Canberra would get an A-League Men's team.
