In a bid to shake the unflattering “Faders” tag this year, the team has been running scenario-based drills under extreme fatigue.

The idea of training skills under fatigue is nothing new, but Stuart has implemented his own version at Raiders HQ as the team strives to play NRL finals for just the second time in seven years.

Second time in seven years... that's just plain disgusting.

Make no beefs about it, this is the worst period in our club's history, and with one of our more talented rosters too! It really is a massive shame.

Next year we'll be practicing closing out games under fatigue....with Steedens soaked in soapy water.

And in the next episode of bringing Rugby League back to the glory days, we explore different methods for applying vasoline to legs before kick off.
We continue to **** about with blokes that are part of some fraternity. It's infuriating.

Not at all. I’m fully confident in the team (and more importantly the coach) and their ability to get the job done this season

Doesn’t change the past though, the last six years is the worst period in our club’s history

Unfortunately, the Canberra Raiders look decidedly undermanned in the front row going into the 2019 season. The Raiders will be under pressure from the outset, desperate to avoid last year’s slow start that ultimately left them five wins outside the top eight.

"Running for the second-least metres of all clubs in the competition last year"

Exposed? Not a lot of room to fall Griffin, unlike yourself.
Yeah, strange logic. Our forwards we’re getting owned. I’m all for trying something different!
Yet we scored the 2nd most pts.
Not really seeing the problem Mr Griffin?!?

Anyone who says we will miss Austin can't have watched us very closely last year.

Did anyone here the boys on NRL360 talk about J.Bateman. If the talk rings true we have a gem of a player.

You just have to have watched him play for England and Wigan... I have no doubt he's a great signing. I was surprised that he didn't seem that big when I saw him at the Fan Day. He seems bigger on the field. But I've no doubt he's going to be very good for us. Hopefully, he'll settle into life in Australia well.

Every club’s rising star set to join NRL’s elite in 2019

RAIDERS

Nick Cotric

It is hard to believe the Raiders’ flyer is still only 20, as Cotric has been regarded a NSW player in the making since his debut season in 2017. Cotric has played every game for the Raiders in the past two seasons, scoring 28 tries in 48 games for the ‘Green Machine’.

Pretty safe/lazy pick by Fox. Would have been bold and prescient to make that call last year- that he'd back it up and go from strength to strength. He's already a star on the verge of origin- are they saying he's going to completely tear the comp apart ala Rapana ? That'd be nice but it's about the only step up he can make as a winger!

Predicting whether BJ will finally get defence sorted and be the full package or if Bateman will translate- they are picks.

I don't think it has to be a bold pick, just the most accurate one.

BJ was centre of the year last year, so he's already there really
Would have won Boogs - 2016, 2017, 2018

Your club's rookie to watch in 2019

Canberra Raiders

Emre Guler made his NRL debut in round 23 last season and didn't look out of place in the top grade with a high work rate in limited minutes.

"I just know I've got to keep building and get better to earn a few more games this year," Guler said. "I want to get a start and play some consistent footy. My debut last year got my foot in the door with experience so it's a start for me but I want to cement a spot now."
