BREAKING NEWS: Canberra Raiders Rookie Star Roars, Unleashes a New Era in the Capital
Canberra Raiders fans have a new hero to roar for — rookie sensation Jaxon Tui has exploded onto the NRL scene, delivering a performance that has the entire league on notice. In just his third first-grade appearance, the 19-year-old fullback lit up GIO Stadium with two sensational tries, a try assist, and a last-ditch tackle that sealed victory over the Roosters.
Tui’s fearless running, electric footwork, and game-breaking instincts have earned comparisons to Raiders legend Jack Wighton, with coach Ricky Stuart calling him “the most exciting natural talent we’ve had in years.” His rise comes at a crucial time, as the Raiders look to rebuild their identity around youth, grit, and flair.
Hailing from Queanbeyan, Tui’s journey from local junior to NRL breakout star is already inspiring a wave of belief across the capital. The Green Machine faithful have found fresh hope — and possibly the face of a new era.
“He’s not just a flash in the pan,” said Raiders captain Elliott Whitehead. “He’s got the tools, the attitude, and the heart to lead this club forward.”
The future has arrived in Canberra — and his name is Jaxon Tui.
