Raiders captain Joseph Tapine believes Owen Pattie will elevate his game further in 2026.
Canberra Raiders captain Joseph Tapine is confident that young dummy-half Owen Pattie will elevate his game even further in 2026, following his debut in the NRL this season.
As the 2025 season kicked off, Pattie was relatively unknown outside of the capital. However, he soon proved to be one of the league's standout young dummy-halves, forming an effective partnership with Tom Starling.
Making his debut in Round 1, the 21-year-old went on to participate in every match for the Raiders, playing a crucial role in securing the minor premiership by leading the ladder and advancing to the second round of the finals.
