The Canberra Raiders are still chasing $1 million for a naming rights sponsor, but until they do they will start the NRL season with the ACT Eden Monaro Cancer Support Group in the prime position.
The Green Machine has so far failed in its bid to find a corporate backer to be the club’s naming rights sponsor after The Tradies and CFMEU reduced their commitment.

Canberra Raiders a Charity Case
Hahaha, still no sponsor and open to charity.
Re: Canberra Raiders a Charity Case
And they need a charity that isn't solely representative of the ACT either. I wonder how much money they'd be taking away from the far south coast?
Rugby League has a lying culture. Altering crowd figures, relying on inaccurate TV figures from regional NSW and refusing to distance itself from Leagues Clubs and obtain it's own club memberships as it relies on LC's to survive as private entities.

You have no one interested in sponsoring your club dopey. Charity case.

And it makes hacks of the statement that RL is well supported in Canberra.

Canberra is Rugby Union heartland.
Re: Canberra Raiders a Charity Case
I'm not convinced. I think AFL has a good presence.
