The Raiders scraped into the finals last season but have done little in the way of recruitment and lost four quality NRL players for 2023 - and that could come back to hurt them.Xavier Savage's broken jaw at the weekend also leaves the Raiders without an established fullback following Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad's departure to the Warriors.The Raiders have the talent to get to the finals - but there could be problems with their depth over a long season.2022 finishing position: 8th. - Gains: Pasami Saulo (Knights), Danny Levi (Huddersfield).Losses: Josh Hodgson (Eels), Adam Elliott (Knights), Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (Warriors), Ryan Sutton (Bulldogs).
Biggest question mark- The Raiders haven't signed a player likely to make their top 17 - you should always sign two or three quality players coming into a new season to develop as a team. That lack of gains could come back to bite them. Man under pressure - Jamal Fogarty looked good in his first season in Canberra last year but needs to continue to improve to lead the team around the park and take the pressure off halves partner Jack Wighton.
