Raiders set to learn their fate
« on: May 14, 2020, 06:37:41 PM »
The Canberra Raiders are poised to learn their fate on Friday as the NRL prepares to unveil the next two rounds of its revamped fixture as officials close in on a new broadcast deal. Raiders chief executive Don Furner concedes home games at Canberra Stadium are likely to be off the agenda until July, with the Green Machine likely to become Sydney specialists when the season resumes. The NRL is on the cusp of finalising a new agreement with broadcasters Channel Nine and Fox Sports to pave the way for the entire draw to be confirmed next week. For now ARL commission chairman Peter V'Landys says rounds three and four will be revealed on Friday, with games likely to be limited to a small amount of venues. The Raiders were scheduled to play St George Illawarra in round three before the competition was brought to an abrupt halt by the coronavirus pandemic.
