The Gold Coast Titans' defense put up a valiant effort, but Hudson Young's try extended the Raiders' lead to 12-0.
The Titans refused to back down, and Jaimin Joliffe managed to breach the Raiders' defense just before halftime, with Jayden Campbell converting successfully to bring the score to 12-6.
Both teams came out firing in the second half, with Harley Smith Shields crossing the try-line early on.
Unfortunately, the Raiders suffered a setback when Zac Hosking had to leave the field due to injury, but Ata Maritoa stepped in to fill the gap.
It was a back-and-forth battle of wills as both teams fought tooth and nail for every inch on the field.
In the end, it was the Raiders who stood tall, securing a hard-fought win that will go down in the annals of Rugby League history.
