Intrigue and Intensity: Inside the Canberra Raiders’ Inner Circle
The Canberra Raiders are enjoying a strong season, but what’s happening behind the scenes is just as compelling. Coach Ricky Stuart, known for his passion and volatility, is revealing a more strategic, player-focused side. Quietly, he brought former England star Adrian Morley to Canberra earlier this year—not for headlines, but to mentor the club’s English players. It’s a calculated move that reflects Stuart’s depth as a coach.
When veteran Jamal Fogarty informed Stuart of his decision to join Manly in 2026, Stuart’s reaction was anything but hostile. “You’re an idiot if you don’t take it,” he told Fogarty—proving loyalty and honesty still shape Raiders culture.
Meanwhile, Stuart is placing enormous trust in his young playmakers. Ethan Strange, Ethan Sanders, and Owen Pattie have all been handed key roles, with Stuart telling them, “You’re in there because I believe you’ll do a job.”
But Stuart’s standards remain firm. After a hotel scuffle in Las Vegas between Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies, Stuart didn’t hesitate to discipline them, labeling the behavior “unacceptable.”
This blend of mentorship, trust, and accountability is the foundation of a Raiders squad not just chasing wins—but shaping a lasting legacy.
