In the heart of rugby league territory, Jarrod Croker was honing his skills on the dusty fields of Goulburn.

Little did he know that one day he would become a household name, leading the Canberra Raiders with passion and determination.

Croker's journey to the top wasn't easy, but through hard work and a love for the game, he earned his place as captain of the Green Machine.

But Croker is not alone in his mission to bring a premiership to Canberra.

He is joined by none other than Louise Dobson, the Olympic champion who knows a thing or two about leading a team to victory.

Dobson's experience on the hockey field has taught her the importance of resilience, teamwork, and sacrifice.

As the 2024 season kicks off, the Raiders are rallying behind their charismatic leaders.

Croker's presence on the field is reminiscent of the great Mal Meninga, who led the team to three titles in the '90s.

With a master tactician like Ricky Stuart at the helm, the Raiders are poised to make their mark on the competition.

While Dobson may not be familiar with the intricacies of rugby league, her leadership skills are invaluable to the team.

She knows how to inspire, how to motivate, and how to bring out the best in her teammates.

Her gold medal-winning performance in Atlanta serves as a reminder that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.

Together, Croker and Dobson are shaping the journey for a new generation of Raiders players.

Their presence in the club is a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding the team and the fans that greatness can be achieved with the right leaders at the helm.

As the Raiders take to the field in their quest for premiership glory, they carry with them the legacy of the past and the dreams of the future.

With Croker and Dobson leading the charge, the Green Machine is ready to conquer all obstacles and bring home the ultimate prize after three decades of anticipation.
