Raiders coach suggests Fogarty staying but contract dilemma looms with mutual option for 2026.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has hinted that Jamal Fogarty will likely remain with the team, confirming ongoing negotiations.
Fogarty has a mutual option in his contract for 2026, with a deadline set for the club to make a decision by Round 6.
If they do not exercise this option, Fogarty could choose to take a reduced salary for 2026 at a later point in the season.
This situation presents a dilemma for the Raiders, particularly with the recent signing of Ethan Sanders from the Parramatta Eels.
