  • 'Imposter syndrome': a Canberra nightclub job, the Raiders and a King's Birthday honour

    Caden Helmers

    Bronwyn Fagan, recognized for her contributions, battles imposter syndrome but finds inspiration in women's sports developments.

    The Canberra Times

    Bronwyn Fagan has seen just about everything in Canberra. From working part-time at the Private Bin, to sitting on the board of the biggest sports team in the capital.

    Even still, after her career as a trailblazer was recognised on the King's Birthday honours list and she had a plaque unveiled at the University of Canberra last year, she struggles to shake the feeling of 'imposter syndrome'.

    But then she switches on a Women's Big Bash League game. She sees boys wearing Jade Melbourne jerseys to Canberra Capitals games. She watches the Raiders' NRLW squad band together for pre-season training and hears of dreams realised at the AFLW Draft.

    Suddenly a place on the University of Canberra Sport Walk of Fame seems fitting, just a stone's throw from where her name resides on a plaque in the campus' law building.

    Gabriella Savage signed her NRLW contract, celebrating with brother Xavier, who has supported her throughout her rugby career.

    The Canberra Times

    Gabriella Savage never thought she'd be in a position to sign an NRLW contract, but when that dream became a reality this week, the 18-year-old wanted her Canberra Raiders star brother Xavier by her side.

    From growing up racing each other around the house in Cairns, to now both wearing lime green as speedy wingers for the Canberra Raiders, the Savage family has officially made the Green Machine a family affair.

    On Friday, Savage was announced as one of four new NRLW development players for 2026, alongside Marley Cardwell, Aaliyah Lomas and Isabella Piper, and there for the contract signing earlier in the week was her beloved big brother.

    "Xavier was actually my witness on the contract, so I was very happy that it was him," Gabby Savage told The Canberra Times.

    Weekend warriors can soon use advanced mouthguards with concussion surveillance technology at Rebel Sport.

    The Canberra Times

    Here's something usually reserved for elite athletes that weekend warriors can sink their teeth into.

    Mouthguards with cutting-edge concussion surveillance technology will go on sale at Rebel Sport stores within weeks - ahead of the upcoming winter seasons for the rugby codes, Australian rules and hockey.

    It's the same technology the Canberra Raiders have used the past two NRL seasons, with their NRLW side and several other clubs also using it.
