Raiders thank departing NRLW players

The Canberra Raiders would like to take the opportunity to thank the departing players in its NRLW program – Madison Bartlett, Sereana Naitokatoka and Marley Cardwell.

The trio made a significant contribution during their time at the Raiders and the club wishes them all the very best for their future.

Madison Bartlett – Raider #4

Madison Bartlett joined the Raiders for the club’s inaugural NRLW season in 2023, continuing her journey as one of the most prolific try scorers in the game.

Bartlett played 24 games for the club, scoring 19 tries including the first try for the Raiders NRLW team in their first ever game in 2023.

Bartlett brought up her 40th NRLW game in 2025, before she was ruled out with injury for the remainder of the season.

Bartlett bounced back from her injuries to play an integral part in Mounties’ 2026 NSW Women’s Premiership title.  

Sereana Naitokatoka – Raider #26

Sereana Naitokatoka joined the Raiders ahead of the 2024 NRLW season, making her debut in round one against the Wests Tigers.

Naitokatoka played 16 games for the Raiders over three seasons, with her versatility proving very valuable to the side.

Naitokatoka starred for Mounties in the 2026 NSW Women’s Premiership grand final, being named Player of the Final.

Naitokatoka will take up an opportunity with another NRLW club after this season.

Marley Cardwell – Raider #40

Marley Cardwell has spent the past two years at the Raiders as a NRLW development player.

Cardwell made her NRLW debut in round eight of the 2025 season against the Bulldogs and played one more match that year.

Cardwell impressed for Mounties in the NSW Women’s Premiership this season, helping the side to their 2026 Premiership win.
