We know both coaches have the knowledge and drive to get Raiders through this difficult situation, while the club evaluates its options for the vacant managers position.

Vice chairman Dicky Newman has also stepped down. The club wishes to thank Dicky enormously for his efforts and contributions over the last 18 months. His commitment to the club cannot be understated and we wish him the best in whatever adventures are next.

Team news:
Captain, Sam Carey, has unfortunately suffered a fractured ankle in training we can confirm. I know you will all join us in wishing him a speedy recovery.
