Canberra Raiders urged to target forwards before open market opens

As uncertainty looms over its forward pack, the Canberra Raiders are advised to focus on strengthening their roster ahead of November 1. Losses of key players such as Jayden Brailey, Corey Horsburgh, and Josh Papalii raise concerns about their depth. While they have signed Lipoi Hopoi and Jiayden Hunt, analysts warn that these additions may not be enough. Scott Pryde emphasizes the need for the Raiders to actively pursue available forwards, specifically pointing out the player option situation of Joe Tapine and the market evaluation of Hudson Young. This critical decision-making period will shape the team’s trajectory moving forward.
