In a disappointing round 26 clash at GIO Stadium, Canberra, the Green Machine suffered a 29-18 defeat against the Broncos.
The match was marked by a heartfelt farewell from Raiders fans, who paid tribute to Jarrod Croker and Jack Wighton in their last regular season home game for the club.
However, the Raiders' early mistakes proved costly as the Broncos were granted multiple opportunities near their try line.
Taking advantage of this, the Broncos secured an early try through Selwyn Cobbo, who received a well-executed floating ball from Reece Walsh.
Although Kotoni Staggs attempted the conversion, his kick hit the post, resulting in a 4-0 scoreline.
Despite this setback, the Raiders quickly regained their composure and intensified their pressure on the Broncos' defense.
An impressive display of determination came from Corey Horsburgh, who sought revenge against his Queensland teammates.
In his 200th NRL game, Horsburgh delivered a powerful hit on Corey Oates after the twenty-meter restart.
