We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
It's the loan deal that almost bolstered the Canberra Raiders' halves stocks for 2024.
But Raiders centre Harley Smith-Shields will see out the NRL season looking to force his way back into the Green Machine - rather than spending the final five rounds with the Parramatta Eels.
The Eels were looking to bolster their outside backs and saw Smith-Shields as an option to do exactly that, joining his former Raiders teammate Bailey Simonsson at the Sydney club.
The Canberra Raiders are gearing up for their next match against the Wests Tigers.
Despite their loss to the Newcastle Knights last weekend, the Raiders managed to hold on to fifth place on the NRL ladder.
On Sunday at 4:05 pm, they will take on the Tigers, who currently sit in 16th place with only five rounds remaining in the season.
The Green Machine will be focusing on discipline heading into this game.
raiders.com.au has reported that the Canberra Raiders have secured the services of three players for the 2024 season and beyond, as Danny Levi, Adrian Trevilyan, and Chevy Stewart have all agreed to new contracts.
Levi, who was already committed until the end of 2024, has extended his deal by an additional year, now set to expire at the end of 2025.
Trevilyan, on the other hand, has signed a one-year extension exclusively for the upcoming 2024 season and will be designated as one of the club's development players.
Finally, Stewart has inked a three-year agreement that will keep him at the Raiders until the culmination of the 2026 season, with the added possibility of an extension into 2027.
