The Raiders are set to mark their return to finals footy with a retention coup, with Englishmen Ryan Sutton and Elliott Whitehead poised to re-sign.
NRL.com understands that both British forwards are close to being locked in on new two-year deals with Canberra ahead of Saturday's trip Melbourne.
As it stands Sutton and Whitehead could both entertain rival offers from November 1 with their current deals expiring at the end of 2020.
But with Ricky Stuart's UK raids playing a key role in Canberra's revival both Englishmen are set to extend their stays until at least 2022, the same length of terms as skipper Josh Hodgson and incoming playmaker George Williams.
