Let’s see where they sit in this year’s NRL betting markets.

Best Canberra Raiders bets for NRL 2024
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for the Raiders, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- Following the loss of Jack Wighton in 2023 the Raiders are at long odds ($51) to win the 2024 NRL Premiership. The loss of their star five-eighth has been compounded by their ageing forward pack and the club’s lack of attacking potential in their dummy-half position.
- The Raiders don’t represent a great value bet to make the top eight of the NRL in 2023, as currently $4.50 chances to make the top eight. This season appears on the outside to be a season of rebuilding for the club with Keao Weekes (Sea Eagles), Ethan Strange and Chevy Stewart all in the early stages of their NRL careers, they will not be expected to be playing finals football this season.
- Matthew Timoko had a brilliant 2023 NRL season scoring more tries, making more line breaks and running more metres than any of his three previous seasons. With Wighton departing the club, Timoko appears to be the most likely tip of the attacking spear for the Raiders in 2024. His strong running game and upper body strength make him incredibly difficult to stop close to the try line, while also being skilled enough to score from short kicks.

Raiders players to watch in 2024
Jamal Fogarty
Born: 13/12/1993
Games: 80
Tries: 13
Position: Halfback
Jamal Fogarty will be under the spotlight again for the Raiders in 2024 as the halfback and vice captain of the club. Without Wighton in the halves, Fogarty will continue to shoulder the load of organising his side, and it is likely that he will be expected to create more points in attack for them too. Fogarty will have the added pressure of getting young players like Xavier Savage, Keao Weekes, Ethan Strange and Chevy Chase to impact games positively throughout the season, which will be difficult.
Cory Horsburgh
Born: 5/1/1998
Games: 82
Tries: 5
Position: Lock
Corey Horsburgh also had a phenomenal 2023 season that saw him make his debut for the Queensland Maroons in State of Origin while also becoming on of the leaders of this experienced Raiders forward pack. In 2024, the key to Horsburgh taking his game to the next level will be controlling his admirably emotional side and channelling that energy to impact the game positively. Without “Big Red” on the field, the Raiders could struggle more than they’re already expected to.
Josh Papali’i
Born: 13/5/1992
Games: 282
Tries: 62
Position: Prop
Josh Papali’i is entering what many anticipate will be his last season in the NRL where he is also expected to play his 300th game for the Raiders. Papali’i made his debut for the club in 2011 where he has played more than 18 games per year every season since his first. The former Queensland Maroon’s biggest task this season will be educating the young forwards at the club about playing rugby league at the highest level for extended periods. If this is his last season, he will be celebrated and greatly missed my Raiders fans, and fans across the league.

- The Canberra Raiders were formed in 1981 and joined the NSW Rugby League a year later. In doing so, they became the first interstate team to compete in Australia’s top-grade competition. They were also the first non-Sydney team in the NSWRL since the Newcastle Rebels left the division in 1909.
It did not take long for the Raiders to become a genuine force. They reached the finals for the first time in 1984 and lost to Manly in the decider three years later. The floodgates opened when the likes of Mal Meninga, Laurie Daley, Ricky Stuart and Glenn Lazarus inspired Canberra to a 19-14 win over Balmain in the 1989 NSWRL Grand Final. They defended that title in 1990, fell just short in ’91 and added a third flag in ’94.
The formation of the Australian Rugby League and the rival Super League marked the end of Canberra’s golden age. Their star players of the ’80s retired or departed, while the advent of several new franchises made it difficult to recruit and retain the best available talent. Although the Raiders have reached finals 9 times since 2000, they have only had one invite to the big dance.
