In a confident statement that reflects the Canberra Raiders’ renewed ambition, young star Kaeo Weekes has declared, “We’ve got big targets,” as the team eyes a historic run in the NRL 2025 season. The versatile playmaker, who has quickly become a crucial figure under coach Ricky Stuart, is embracing the pressure as the Raiders push for their first premiership title since 1994.
Weekes’ emergence as a consistent performer has energized the squad. Speaking to reporters after a string of strong performances, he emphasized the team’s collective hunger: “We’re not just here to make up the numbers. We believe in ourselves, and we’re going after something special this year.”
With a dynamic blend of youth and experience, the Raiders are positioning themselves as serious contenders. Weekes’ leadership, despite his age, is becoming central to their campaign—both on and off the field.
As finals approach, Canberra’s faithful are daring to dream. And if Weekes’ words are anything to go by, the Raiders’ march towards NRL glory is far from just talk
