Raiders claim Golden Point win over Dolphins

LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

The Raiders' website, raiders.com.au, has reported that the Raiders clinched a thrilling 26-25 victory in golden point over the Dolphins at Kayo Stadium on Saturday night.

In a back-and-forth showdown, the Green Machine emerged triumphant thanks to Jordan Rapana's clutch field goal.

After suffering a 44-16 loss to the Roosters last week, the Raiders took the field with a steely determination to bounce back against the fourth-placed Dolphins.

The Dolphins' hooker Jeremy Marshall-King drew first blood, putting the away side ahead 6-0 early in the match.

But Xavier Savage wasted no time in responding, fielding a kick bomb from Kaeo Weekes and sprinting to touch down behind the goal posts.

Rapana's successful conversion leveled the score at six-all after 13 minutes.

Building on this momentum, Canberra seized the opportunity when the Dolphins made a crucial error, allowing young gun Ata Mariota to dart through and score his second career try.
