New Zealand Warriors trainer Alex Corvo could prove the best buy of the 2018 NRL season

Off-field New Zealand Warriors recruit Alex Corvo has coach Stephen Kearney buzzing, as the season approaches kickoff on March 10. The former Canberra Raiders forward signed a three-year deal with the Warriors at the end of last season, becoming the club's strength and conditioning coach.

"There was a fair bit of a gap that I feel we needed to close in certain areas and that was a big one. "Hence, we made the decision, at the back end of 2017, to bring in someone like Alex, with his experience expertise, and that's exactly what he has brought.

Former Raiders Adam Clydsdale and Dane Tilse join forces at Maitland

Adam Clydsdale’s grandfather will go down as one of Maitland’s greatest players, so it’s only fitting the former Knights and Raiders hooker has signed with the Pumpkin Pickers this season. The former Knights, Raiders and Sharks No. 9 will team up with former Newcastle prop Dane Tilse, who captains Maitland.

Meanwhile Newcastle Wests coach Matt Lantry remains hopeful of signing former Roosters and Canberra wrecking ball Frank-Paul Nu’uausala in 2019.

Dane is not a former knight!!! They dumped him!!!

He is a green machine!! Raiders legend!

It's not that hard to google!!

[greeneyed]

It is factually correct... does ignore the 200 games he played for the Raiders though...

Then its not correct

It would be like calling Ricky or Brad former Bulldogs players, they are former raiders players who played 20 games for the dogs.

Former Canberra Raiders back Thomas Cronan proves the match-winner for Knights against Melbourne Storm in trial

Most days when he is not training, you’ll find Thomas Cronan serving beers behind the bar at the Queens Wharf Hotel. Which is probably where he would have been on Wednesday had it not been for a surprise call-up into the Newcastle Knights squad for the trial against Melbourne in Melbourne.

“Jack Cogger created it with a great cut-out pass and I just had to pretty much catch it and fall over the line but it was still a good feeling getting the try to win it,”the 21-year-old said of his match winning try.

Former Canberra Raiders half Josh McCrone: Toronto’s ambitions are to be a successful Super League team

Toronto Wolfpack star Josh McCrone says Toronto Wolfpack’s long-term plan is to be a successful club in the Betfred Super League.

“We have got plenty of experience and we have recruited reasonably well, not including myself, but I think we have got enough experience and talent in the team to challenge for a spot in Super League and that’s what we want to do. It’s a good challenge for me with where I am at in my career at the moment and it’s a challenge to try and get promoted into Super League and do something special with this group. They started at the bottom and they have got themselves to the Championship and carry on with that momentum and go forward.

Why former Canberra Raiders hooker Glen Buttriss returned to country footy

GLEN Buttriss always knew he’d play for Cootamundra – he just didn’t know when. Buttriss has long watched his hometown Bulldogs from a far while he lived out his NRL dream with the Canberra Raiders. But when Cootamundra started losing, the Raiders hooker knew he had to return home and help.

“Having grown up in Coota and spent my junior footy there, it hurt to see the boys struggling,” said Buttriss, who played 119 NRL games for the Raiders.
