Episode Title: “Legends Remembered: Sam Backo & Mick Tilse”
Guest: John McIntyre, Raiders Patron

In this heartfelt episode, Raider Nick is joined by former Raiders Patron John McIntyre for a powerful and emotional tribute to two late Raiders greats — Sam Backo and Mick Tilse.

John shares personal memories, behind-the-scenes stories, and the incredible legacy both men leave behind at the Canberra Raiders and in the wider rugby league community. From Sam Backo’s explosive power and unforgettable Test try-scoring feats, to Mick Tilse’s quiet strength and contribution to the club’s culture — this episode honours their impact both on and off the field.

John and Raider Nick reflect on the golden era of the Green Machine, the bonds that built the club, and how these two men helped shape the Raiders family. JR also shares who is current favourite player is, the joy of sitting back and watching the boy lead the comp, his thoughts on big Pappa and having another Stuart debut for the club.
