The first red card was clear in that it was a Jack Rodwell studs up tackle straight into the shin. The second was for a second yellow card in the m...

Big win to the Raiders in this match in Fiji. Good to see the Raiders taking games to Fiji and play for the Noa Nadruku Bowl.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

I wonder how Fog, Strange, Weekes, Chevy and Sanders will fit into the 17 next year? Maybe Strange or Weekes can develop a decent pass from dummy half.
