Along with the state-of-the-art gym and recovery facilities, the Raiders now also have cutting-edge technology at their fingertips at their new Braddon centre of excellence.

Canberra's major sponsor Huawei has set up all their IT systems so they have wifi coverage over the entire playing field as well as throughout their buildings.

It means Raiders coach Ricky Stuart can access live training footage and show his players exactly what they are doing right or wrong almost as it happens.

Raiders chief executive Don Furner said it was another small advantage their new training base would provide.

Stuart will be able to show exactly what line he wants his players to run or exactly what holes he wants them to cover in their defensive line.

It's further franked Furner's belief they now have the best training facility in the NRL.

"The technology we've got in here now, the speed that we have, the connectivity is amazing," he said in Huawei's webinar on Wednesday.

"The coaches download big vision - some very, very large files - and it's instantaneous.

"I know talking to Rick and the coaching staff, when they're out on the field and someone's made a mistake running a play - if you talk about it when they come in an hour later it's almost forgotten, but if they can pull it up on the tablet right there and say, 'See you ran this line, you didn't do this right, let's do that again', and it's instantaneous.

"It's retained better by the players to be able point it out right there and then. That's been fantastic ... I think we've got the best in the NRL and that just sets us up for the next 10 years."

Furner revealed the impact of the coronavirus pandemic could be felt for the next three or four years, with it potentially taking that long for staffing levels to return to what they were before the COVID-19 virus.

He was forced to stand down almost all of his administration staff in the wake of the pandemic shutting down the NRL back in March.

With large crowds potentially unable to return until next year, that will continue to affect when employees can return to work for the Green Machine.

"We're definitely going to have cutbacks because funding will cut back," Furner said.

"There's certain consultants that we brought in [that] we saw in America and they're luxuries to have.

"When things were going really well, could we get an extra physio in? Yes, because we could afford it.

"Those sort of jobs might not be [there]. We might cut back 15-20 per cent of staff and it might take us three or four years to get back up to that.

"It's not going to be wholesale like other sports that I've read, but certainly we will be trimmer and we've just got to get by with a bit less.

"That's what we have to do and I think we can handle it. JobKeeper has been such a lifeblood for us and our staff here because pretty much all of our admin staff are on it ... I'm hoping we don't lose too many of them."
