Squad Breakdown: Canberra Raiders SC roster analysis

While maintaining the brunt of their squad, the Raiders again loom as a tough side to judge heading into round 1. Very rarely are they littered with genuine stars, but it hasn’t stopped them from pushing heavyweight clubs right to the brink in past seasons. What they do have is outstanding depth, and a loaded forward pack. The acquisition of Adam Elliott gives them five genuine edge back-rowers all capable of playing middle and in big time. It’s a mobile pack and one that’s suited to the modern game. Jamal Fogarty is a quality replacement for George Williams and adds a bit of flare to the halves. Embed from Getty Images
