2. 2020 Recap

The Raiders were good in 2020. VERY good. They ran into a red hot Melbourne side which ultimately ended their season one game prior to what they ultimately wanted, but there can be no complaints from fans.

Jack Wighton was the game's best player across 20 regular season rounds while Josh Papalii is now the game's premier front-row forward. George Williams was absolutely incredible in his first season in the NRL.

The Raiders did struggle to replicate their former lethal right edge with Curtis Scott falling short of expectations and the returning Jordan Rapana looking far from his usual self.

Canberra had an incredible 2020 but will be looking to go further this year. Ricky Stuart continues to build a brilliant legacy.
