In the 2023 season, the Raiders managed to scrape through to the finals in eighth spot but ultimately bowed out in a brave fashion in an extra-time thriller against the Knights.
As the 2024 season approaches, there are significant changes in store for the Green Machine.
With the departure of club favorites Jarrod Croker and Jack Wighton, the team is expected to have a very different look and feel.
The recruitment of players such as Simi Sasagi, Morgan Smithies, and Kaeo Weekes will bring new talent to the team, with all eyes on the up and comers as coach Ricky Stuart looks to inspire the next generation of Raiders.
The addition of English recruit Morgan Smithies from Wigan is expected to continue the tradition of success for Super League signings with the Green Machine.
With the departure of Jack Wighton, there is a two-way race for the vacant No.
6 jersey, with new recruit Kaeo Weeks and Ethan Strange in contention.
Despite the departure of veteran players, the Raiders are looking to the promising crop of youngsters and committed players to continue their success and be part of the finals action in the upcoming season.
