Re: 2024 Canberra Raiders draw
What do we make of Magic Round being a home game? Doesn't our current agreement with the ACT Government only allow a certain number of games to be taken away from Canberra in a 5 year period? Clearly we have taken the cash on offer to be a home team for Magic Round rather than have 12 games at Canbe...

Re: 2024 Canberra Raiders draw
Very nice surprise to have a game for magic round. I thought for sure we'd miss out this year. I think they’re rewarding clubs with the best support at the ground and the teams that have fans who travel most. The Raiders have lots of fans in Brisbane… who turn up regardless of how the team is going...

I just ask the same question: The DPP had access to that footage - so why did they take this to court?

Re: 2023 in review - Ethan Strange
What hasn’t been talked about here was how good he was in NSW Cup after he made his debut. He was a big part of our run to the finals. In the end we ran out of forwards and got smashed in the semi but Strange playing at 5/8 was massive in every game leading up to there.

I am no expert in the criminal justice system, but I do know that for a matter to go to court the DPP needs to decide the case is worthwhile going to court.

Re: Toughest preseason ever 2024
I would be very surprised if Savage and Stewart aren't the two fastest at the club.
It doesn't necessarily mean they get to the right position compared to others to use that speed.

Re: Canberra Raiders sign star young Eels half Ethan Sanders
Perhaps Parra feel Sanders can play a role for them in 2024. He is a cheap back up who could come in for Moses or Brown if he goes down. The worry for Raiders is they just warehouse him in Flegg (which he is still eligible for in 2024 and 2025) but maybe they see a first grade role for him in 2024?...
