Produktbeschreibung

The Canberra Raiders are an Australian professional rugby league football club based in the city of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. They compete in Australasia's elite rugby league competition, the National Rugby League (NRL) premiership. The Raiders' current home ground is Canberra Stadium in Bruce, Australian Capital Territory. Previously, the team played home matches at Seiffert Oval in Queanbeyan, New South Wales, with the move to Canberra Stadium taking place in 1990. The official symbol for the Canberra Raiders is the Viking. The Viking, also a mascot at Raiders' games, is known as Victor the Viking. The Raiders were admitted to the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership in 1982, along with the Illawarra Steelers, as part of the League's first expansion outside Sydney. Over the following years they improved steadily, becoming the first non-Sydney team to make the finals (1984), feature in a grand final (1987) and win a premiership (1989). This heralded a period of great success for the club, with four grand final appearances and three premierships in eight years.
