We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Jack Wighton is set to be honoured by the Raiders on Saturday night in his final home game in Canberra, but some drama is swirling at his next club.
Departing for South Sydney next season, Wighton, and retiring Raiders legend Jarrod Croker will be celebrated in a special presentation following their clash against the Brisbane Broncos this weekend.
A big crowd is expected at Canberra Stadium to farewell the influential duo that have played more than 500 NRL games combined for the Green Machine.
South Sydney coach Jason Demetriou has reportedly apologized to Jacob Host after accidentally 'liking' a disparaging Instagram post about the Rabbitohs forward and his former teammate Liam Knight.
Both players were the targets of a savage spray from a supposed fan after a round 13 loss to Canberra in the NRL.
It has since emerged that Demetriou has 'unliked' the comment, with the Souths coach explaining to the Sydney Morning Herald that he never meant to like it in the first place.
Following the match in question against the Raiders - in which Souths lost 33-26 - Knight didn't play for the next six weeks and featured just one more time for the Bunnies, before being allowed to join the Bulldogs mid-season.
When he made his NRL debut for the Gold Coast in 2008 at just 17 years of age, Jordan Rapana was a revelation.
In that same year, he had been playing for the Gold Coast Titans' NYC under-20s team. He entered the NRL competition in Round 18 of that 2008 season and scored five tries in his first five games.
He then disappeared from the NRL radar for the next six years.
Jordan headed to England and Wales on a Mormon mission for two years before embarking on a period of self-discovery.
