Canberra Raiders seek new talent ahead of November 1 deadline

The Canberra Raiders are preparing for a key offseason as they aim to strengthen their roster ahead of the November 1 contract target date. The team's performance slipped in 2026, attributed in part to the departure of Jamal Fogarty. With several players set to leave, the Raiders are focusing on acquiring forwards and addressing weaknesses in their lineup. Recent performances suggest underutilized players like Ethan Sanders might play a larger role going forward as the team aims for a recovery. The club has flexibility in its budget, allowing for potentially impactful signings in the upcoming market.
