Canberra's Tom Starling likely to stay, nearing a two-year deal after a standout NRL season.
Canberra are on the verge of a securing a significant recruitment win, with off-contract hooker Tom Starling poised to knock back interest from elsewhere and stay at the Raiders.
One week after Canberra lost halfback Jamal Fogarty to Manly for next season, AAP understands the Raiders are edging closer to a two-year deal with Starling.
The hooker has enjoyed arguably the best season of his 118-game NRL career, with the 26-year-old excelling as a starting No. 9.
