It would be interesting to know if the NRL believes that this outcome is in the interests of the game? And fair on a club with few representative stars… and in the situation where they find it difficult to recruit from the outside? And aside from the PNG Chiefs schemozzle, do they think the salary cap is working as it should? #NRL #WeAreRaiders #Canberra #Raiders #CanberraRaiders

So PNG get tax free benefits to sign star players. The Raiders haven’t been able to sign an established star player for 35 years. How about you give us a crack @NRL nah just let png take ours.
