Fogarty has gone on to play 75 games for the Raiders and he hopes there is a couple more and a premiership before he joins the Sea Eagles on a three-year deal from next season. <\/p>\n
Despite the brutal exit from his former clubs, the late bloomer is convinced things worked out for the best leaving the Titans. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been the best thing for me at the Raiders,\u201d Fogarty said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve evolved as a player and person and I found enjoyment down in Canberra.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe lifestyle here, what the city offers me and our family outdoors has been wonderful, especially with the people I\u2019ve met here as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

After only playing his first full season of NRL as a 26-year-old in 2020, Fogarty admits he was consumed early in his career about not messing up his opportunity. <\/p>\n
But he credits the faith instilled in him by Ricky Stuart for bringing out the best in his game. <\/p>\n
\u201cI never doubted myself that I could succeed at this level,\u201d Fogarty said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was probably playing within myself at the Titans.<\/p>\n
\u201cComing out of the Queensland Cup, it was like, \u2018Don\u2019t ruin it, don\u2019t muck up your big chance\u2019, because then you worry and have that getting dropped kind of mentality.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting the backing of \u2018Sticky\u2019 to express myself the way I want to play, that\u2019s been a huge plus.\u201d<\/p>\n
If the Raiders can knock off the in form Broncos on Sunday, they will be 80 minutes from a first grand final since 2019 and two wins away from a drought-breaking first title since 1994. <\/p>\n
It would be the perfect way for Fogarty to farewell his time at the Raiders, with Ethan Sanders set to take over in 2026 and partner Ethan Strange in the halves. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raiders halfback Jamal Fogarty has opened up on the disappointment of how his career at the Titans came…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-139416","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
