Raider #395
Joining the Raiders from the Knights in 2024, Simi Sasagi has gone from strength to strength since.
After managing 10 games in 2024, Simi would truly find his feet at the NRL level in 2025 as he became an invaluable selection for Head Coach Ricky Stuart’s side.
Sasagi's versatility to cover second row, centre, front row and five-eighth has impressed in 2025. His elite performances across the season warranted praise from Stuart as Sasagi shared Coaches’ Award honours at the 2025 Meninga Medals.
Contracted at the club until the end of the 2028 season, Sasagi will continue to cement himself as a regular first grader in 2026.
