The season is finally here. Transfers for 2023 are all but complete, squads are full and it's time for the on-field action to finally take over again.

Some clubs will be happy with their results, others not so much, and others barely needed to be touched during the most recently completed off-season.

For this list, the grades have been ranked from A+ being perfect business, to E being the worst possible business. Taken into account is the gains and losses for the 2023 season, as well as contract re-signings and holding onto key talent.

2. Canberra Raiders: C

2023 gains: Danny Levi (Huddersfield Giants, 2024), Pasami Saulo (Newcastle Knights, 2024)

2023 losses: Adam Elliott (Newcastle Knights), Josh Hodgson (Parramatta Eels), Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (New Zealand Warriors), Harry Rushton (Huddersfield Giants), Ryan Sutton (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs), Sam Williams (released)

Re-signed: Matt Frawley (2023), Corey Harawira-Naera (2026), Corey Horsburgh (2025), Ata Mariota (2024), Xavier Savage (2025), James Schiller (2024), Tom Starling (2024), Joseph Tapine (2028), Matthew Timoko (2025), Zac Woolford (2024)

The Raiders' new signings have only signed deals until 2024 and they have lost some very good talent to NRL rivals.

The Raiders do have a solid line-up for 2023 and have re-signed key players such as Joseph Tapine (2028), Xavier Savage (2025), Matthew Timoko (2025) and Corey Harawira-Naera (2026).

These contracts are massively important as the Raiders haven't really strengthened their side in terms of incomings.
