A privilege to wear the jersey: Borthwick backs debutantes ahead of Raiders NRLW opener….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Canberra Raiders NRLW coach Darrin Borthwick has thrown his full support behind the club\u2019s new-look squad, highlighting the pride and passion his debutantes bring ahead of their season opener. With several fresh faces set to make their first appearance in the green jersey, Borthwick said the team\u2019s energy and commitment have been evident throughout pre-season.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis jersey means something,\u201d Borthwick stated. \u201cFor these young women to get their shot, it\u2019s not just about talent \u2014 it\u2019s about the attitude they\u2019ve shown since day one.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among the anticipated debutantes are junior stars and emerging talents from feeder competitions, each earning praise for their work ethic and enthusiasm. The Raiders are counting on a strong start to the 2025 NRLW campaign, and Borthwick believes the blend of youth and leadership gives them every chance to make a statement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve earned this,\u201d Borthwick added. \u201cAnd they\u2019ll do the jersey proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Raiders kick off their season this weekend, hoping to build on last year\u2019s promising debut in the competition.<\/p>\n\n
