Son shines in Canberra as Jed passes history lesson in style….
Jed Stuart delivered a performance to remember as the Canberra Raiders secured a crucial win, with the young star proving he’s more than ready for the big stage. With his father, Raiders coach Ricky Stuart, watching proudly from the sideline, Jed passed his “history lesson” with flying colours — becoming just the second father-son duo in club history to both don the green jersey.
The 19-year-old was calm under pressure, showcasing sharp decision-making, strong defence, and the kind of composure rarely seen in rookies. His touches were clean, his vision impressive, and his connection with teammates seamless, drawing praise from veterans and fans alike.
Ricky Stuart, a Raiders legend himself, had long deflected questions about Jed’s rise through the ranks, insisting he earn his spot on merit. That belief was rewarded tenfold as Jed handled both the occasion and opposition with class.
“He’s earned this moment,” Ricky said post-match. “And tonight, he showed why.”
The Raiders faithful erupted with every touch, knowing they were witnessing the start of something special — a new chapter in the Stuart legacy. In a city built on grit and green pride, Jed shone brightly, showing the future is in good hands.
