'Don't really want to talk about it': Jamal Fogarty reflects on sad ending to Raiders career
After a devastating loss to Cronulla, Jamal Fogarty wasn't in the mood to reflect too much on his final game in Raiders colours, describing it as a "pretty sad" occasion.
The halfback departs the Raiders following his 77th match, and will replace Daly Cherry-Evans at Manly next season.
Fogarty couldn't inspire his Canberra side to a successful finals campaign, with the minor premiers going out in straight sets following a 32-12 loss to the Sharks.

Under Ricky Stuart he's turned into one of the best halves in the competition and remembered with fondness the people he'd shared the field with.
"I think I've just met some great people, that's been my favourite thing about coming here," he said.
"I've become a better person because of blokes like Jarrod Croker, Big Papa (Josh Papalii), Jack Wighton, Elliott Whitehead and Raps (Jordan Rapana) and that's something I'll take away from here."
