Raiders utility Simi Sasagi recently spoke about the pride of representing Samoa at the Pacific Championships and how that experience has shaped him heading into the new season with the Canberra Raiders.
He reflected on his time in the Pacific Champs, including a memorable intercept try for Samoa that was a highlight in his international play. Playing for his heritage nation was a meaningful moment, underscoring the honour and responsibility he feels when wearing the Samoan jersey. �

At club level, Sasagi’s versatility stood out in his comments. He’s valued by the Raiders for the ability to cover multiple positions — able to slot into forward roles or backline spots as needed — providing flexibility for coaches when selecting the 17. That utility value is something he’s built throughout his career, making him a reliable choice off the interchange bench as Canberra gears up for the 2026 season. �
