[GB7600]

   View image | gettyimages.com  Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has confirmed Sisa Waqa "isn't going anywhere", adamant the Fijian is aware the support network the club provides him is crucial to overcome his off-field issues.

Reports emerged on Thursday claiming the outside back had requested a release from the final year of his deal to head to French rugby.

Stuart confirmed his manager, George Christodoulou, had made an approach but questioned whether Waqa was even aware of it, and the 29-year-old has told him he's happy at the Raiders.

"His manager approached the club, I don't even know if Sisa knew too much about it," Stuart said.

"When I spoke to him last night [Friday] and again today, he's very comfortable with being here at the club.

"He's a big part of our club, we love having him at the club and he's not going anywhere."
