It’s a great achievement for the side, who only joined the competition this year.

Halfback Ocean Kawai-Rangikauhata scored a second-half double and centre Evie Perry scored right on full-time to seal the win and a place in the top eight.

Sea Eagles 8 – 24 Raiders

The Raiders scored eight tries against the Sea Eagles, with wingers Eliza Taylor and Gabriella Savage scoring five tries between them.

It was a rocky start to the season, but the side won their last four straight games in what was a great finish to the competition.

Raiders kick-off new Academy Programs

The Canberra Raiders have increased their investment in their local regions, by establishing new Raiders Academies across the club’s regional footprint.

The Raiders Academy programs are an extension of the existing Raiders Development squad programs. They are aimed at players aged 14, to help them prepare for the move into the club’s development squads and junior representative teams.

Which allows elite level coaching and training programs to be delivered without players having to travel.

Raiders Pathways and Performance Manager Dean Souter said the Academies show the Raider’s commitment to their regions and helping regional based rugby league talent chase their dreams.

“We’ve established these programs to take to the regions to give the next generation of players the opportunity to have exposure to elite level coaching and training,” Souter said.

“We want the Raiders to have that extended visibility in our regional catchment and get kids prepared for the next stages of their development.”

Elite Pathways Coach

The Raiders have also employed the club’s first Elite Pathways Coach, Chris Hutchison, who will be instrumental in delivering the Academy programs.

Hutchison comes with over 20 years experience in development with other NRL clubs and most recently held the position of Coaching Director for the Mounties Group.

He said the Academies are an opportunity to not only identify talent but also to show people in the regional areas that there is a genuine pathway for players in these communities.

“I’m really excited about getting out to our regional areas and working with the players and helping the club identify players who we believe can take the steps in their journey to become an NRL player with the Raiders,” Hutchison said.

“I’ve been really impressed with some of the talent we’ve already been able to identify through the new Academies and most importantly connect with the locals in those areas and show them there is a pathway through to the NRL via the Raiders.”

Harold Mathews Cup

The Raiders Harold Matthews team will take on the Central Coast Roosters in round six, with their game kicking off at 2:00pm.

The Raiders will be looking to pick up their first win since round one of the season against the winless Roosters.

Raiders Harold Mathews coach Peter Marrapodi has been very impressed by his forwards in the opening games.

“Our middle forwards sort of came into the competition without a big reputation but they’ve done a great job,” Marrapodi said.

“Guys like Elvis Nauer-Wood, he’s been travelling in from Griffith and he has been doing a great job.”

“Mathais Tomuli-Ah-Kuoi returns for us this week, he came over from Perth and got an opportunity.

So those guys have been great for us,” Marrapodi said.

Marrapodi also praised the side’s attitude and the way they have integrated with one another.

“Their attitude has been fantastic, we’ve got a lot of country boys and coast kids mixed in with the Canberra boys and the way they’ve come together has been fantastic,” Marrapodi said.

“It’s all built up on hard work, the hard work they’ve put in for each other, it’s been really good to be part of the group.”

Canberra Region Rugby League has developed a 2022-2025 wheelchair rugby league strategic plan to lead the inclusion program in Canberra and surrounding regions, including southern NSW.

The plan was formed with the direction from the Canberra Region Wheelchair Rugby League (CRWRL) sub-committee, who steer the overall plan.

Throughout this process the CRWRL’s mission has been the primary focus, with the commitment to connect and educate the wider community of the physical, mental and social benefits of being involved in the wheelchair rugby league program.

In delivering this mission, we remain committed to our values of inclusion, integrity, respect, excellence and adaptability, which form the foundation of every decision we make.

This strategic plan, one of the first for our adaptive all-inclusive sport, is vital in ensuring the ongoing development and growth of wheelchair rugby league in Australia.

This overall plan provides the platform for the CRWRL program and its participants to recognise some major achievements for the adaptive sport in the region, whilst capitalising on the collaborative approach in which this strategy has been developed.
