Canberra Raiders star Sebastian Kris has signed a long-term extension that will see him remain with the club until the end of 2027.

He was the 18th man for their game against Gold Coast Titans this weekend. However, they have finally managed to have made a big breakthrough, which is an impressive piece of work given the lack of halfbacks currently available across the globe.
