The Raiders are now recruiting younger players, adjusting their strategy to attract talent amid challenges.
The Raiders have been forced to improvise and adjust their recruitment policy over the years as the club battles to attract big-name players.
It was far easier in the mid-to-late 1980s, with the mass recruitment of Queensland players prior to the formation of the Brisbane Broncos.
In recent times, the Raiders have adopted a new approach, recruiting younger players with the potential to develop over time, guided by some of the more experienced players on the team.
