Former Raiders captain Josh Hodgson in action. POOR performances that have not matched the form of the Canberra Raiders over recent seasons has compelled Josh Hodgson to step down from the captaincy. The role was shared with co-skipper Jarrod Croker since 2019, which also included Hodgson appearing in that year’s NRL grand final before Canberra reached the semi-finals last year under the dual leadership model. Hodgson informed the coaching staff and playing group of his decision a number of weeks ago, but has maintained his silence during the Raiders’ losing streak that stretched to four games on Thursday night (April 29).
