The Canberra Raiders signed Lipoi Hopoi to strengthen their forward pack for 2027 after his limited opportunities with the Bulldogs.
The Canberra Raiders have bolstered their forward stocks for 2027, signing Lipoi Hopoi from the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
Struggling to find consistent first-grade minutes, it is being reported by the Daily Telegraph Hopoi will move to the nation's capital to further develop his career under Ricky Stuart and the Green Machine.
Only limited to 17 appearances for the Bulldogs, Hopoi has shown glimpses of an out-and-out star forward, but hasn't been given the opportunities in the top grade since his debut in 2024.
It's a slick move by Stuart and the Raiders to bolster their pack following Josh Papali'i's exit from the club at the end of this year, while Corey Horsburgh's future in the lime green remains up in the air.
