They are totally underrated as NRL supporters and we found out first hand after releasing a recent article citing a poor operation in Canberra and consistently poor NRL Results in the past few years.

Congratulations to the supports for being so passionate, but if the players are promising and the setup is good - when can we expect a blockbuster year? Will it ever come again?

Fortunately the ACT Brumbies are struggling, so it's not wiping the Raiders away in terms of crowds - but if something doesn't improve soon, they could be forever consigned to the cellar of the NRL Rugby League competition.
