The Raiders are flying this season despite (or maybe because of?) Michael Carayannis tipping them for the wooden spoon. Ahead of the top of the table clash against the Bulldogs, Canberra CEO Don Furner (19:58) joined Andrew Moore, Luke Lewis and MC to explain the culture at the club. Furner reckons that due to the difficulty they have in luring players to the Nation's Capital they rely on developing from within and that you'd have to go back 39 years to the arrival of Mal Meninga to find the last established top player they signed. He also gives updates on Josh Papali'i, Tom Starling and a new stadium for Canberra. Plus you can hear all the latest NRL News (and speculation) in MC's Hammertime (44:11).
