Canberra Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad barely bats an eyelid as he voices his desire to raise the bar and build on a breakout NRL campaign. The 24-year-old is in the midst of his first full pre-season with the Raiders after he was plucked from relative obscurity last year en route to becoming a grand final player and New Zealand international. Nicoll-Klokstad ticked off one childhood dream by doing the latter but he has been left to rue a missed opportunity in the form of a grand final defeat. It is enough to leave the Canberra custodian feeling like "we haven't achieved anything" - a sentiment echoed by Raiders skipper Jarrod Croker. Now he is determined to reach another level on an individual front to help Canberra's desperate bid to end a 26-year drought.
