We love the mighty Canberra Raiders

Broncos coach Kevin Walters knew the heat would come thick and fast if he signed his son Billy - but he did it anyway.
It wasn't a tough decision, if you can't trust your own son then who can you trust? Kevvie told foxsports.com.au.
Billy had played a handful of NRL games at the point, but it was a tough love conversation from dad around 12 months later that turned him into a bona fide first-grader.
Tom Starling was upset when he got dropped. But he put his head down, his proverbial up, and used it drive himself to get back.
That's one of the reasons why the Canberra Raiders have re-signed him until the end of 2025, having taken up his option for next year and added another season on top of that.
The Raiders also confirmed on Tuesday the signing of Newcastle utility Simi Sasagi, also until the end of 2025, as revealed by The Canberra Times in June.
The Brisbane Broncos have made three changes to their team lineup for their Round 26 clash against the Canberra Raiders.
One notable change is the return of winger Corey Oates, who will be playing his 200th NRL game.
Oates had to delay his milestone game due to a knee complaint he suffered during training.
However, after going through rehabilitation, he has been given the green light to play at GIO Stadium.
