JUST IN: Two Canberra Stars Set to Depart, Major Blow to Raiders’ Season
In a shocking development, two key Canberra Raiders players are confirmed to be leaving the club, a move expected to have a significant and detrimental impact on the team’s momentum this season. While the names have not yet been officially announced, inside sources indicate that both are starting-caliber talents who have played vital roles in Canberra’s recent resurgence.
The sudden departures reportedly stem from a combination of off-field issues and contract disagreements, with one player seeking a new challenge abroad and the other heavily linked to a rival NRL club. Their exits not only leave immediate gaps in the Raiders’ starting lineup but also deal a major blow to team morale and chemistry just as Canberra was building strong form.
Fans are understandably disheartened, with many fearing the departures could derail the Raiders’ push for a top-four finish. Coach Ricky Stuart faces a tough task ahead—rebuilding the squad, maintaining momentum, and keeping spirits high in the locker room.
Club officials are expected to address the situation soon. One thing is clear: these exits will reshape Canberra’s season, and how the team responds could define their fate in 2025.
