The Canberra Raiders have assembled a squad with enough experience to compete with other clubs in their debut season in the NRL Telstra Women's Premiership.
The team consists of 12 players who have previously played in the NRLW, and coach Darrin Borthwick has also recruited high-profile stars with international experience.
While the Raiders are not expected to dominate the competition and win a premiership in their first year, their well-built squad provides a solid foundation for future success.
