In the grand scheme of things, Raiders women's coach Darrin Borthwick has done a remarkable job building a team for the 2023 NRLW season.
As one of four expansion teams in the NRLW this year, the Raiders team has been established from scratch.
In March, the Raiders had yet to sign a single player for the upcoming season before the recruitment of Parramatta skipper and international Simaima Taufa.
Since then, another 27 players have been signed, four of whom are on development contracts.
