I am genuinely interested to know why Sanders, Strange and Stewart chose the Raiders. I assume they have/had other clubs nipping at their heels. Maybe it is the perceived pathway to FG? Maybe it is Ricky Stuart, or a combination. If the figures being quoted are remotely accurate, they did it becaus...
