The Canberra Raiders' journey to the 2025 premiership didn't kick off in glamorous settings but rather in the gritty environment of a military training camp.
This challenging pre-season bonding experience played a crucial role in their pursuit of a first minor premiership since 1990.
During the camp, the sleep-deprived players dedicated three days and two nights to hiking and camping in the Canberra bushland.
This intense experience tested the players both physically and mentally, establishing a strong foundation for the Raiders' remarkable turnaround, as they finished the season with only five losses.
