In the 1990s, the Raiders played a trial in Moruya. Laurie Daley was the star attraction and there was a promise of good times ahead.
Close to 30 years later, the Raiders are poised to return with a pre-season trial against the Bulldogs on 12 February.
Fittingly, the game will be played at the Ack Weyman Oval where you will find statues and head busts of both Ack and his son Michael at the entrance to the ground.
