Building a team from scratch is a unique opportunity for any player but for marquee Raiders signing Simaima Taufa, headlining inaugural teams has become a common theme.
In 2018, the veteran lock signed up to captain the Sydney Roosters for the inaugural Women's Premiership.
Three years later she skippered the Eels to the grand final in their first year as a women’s franchise.
Now the Australian international is ready to create history again, after the Raiders announced the hard-running forward will be donning lime green in 2023.
