The Canberra Raiders’ 2025 NRL season was a gritty campaign of near-misses and unyielding spirit, finishing as minor premiers. Under veteran coach Ricky Stuart, the Green Machine peaked at the right time, stringing together nine straight wins mid-year to lock in a home final, only to bow out in a heartbreaking semi-final loss to the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks after losing in week one of the finals to the Brisbane Broncos—marked by Ben Hunt’s infamous field goal.
