In a thrilling display of skill and determination, the Raiders dominated the Eels in a resounding 38-16 victory.
With three tries in just nine minutes, the Raiders showcased their superiority and proved why they deserved the maximum 15 Pre-Season Challenge points.
The match, held at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney, was a redemption for the Raiders who failed to win any games in last year's Pre-Season Challenge.
The standout performer of the game was Raiders centre hopeful James Schiller, who not only provided a try assist for Jed Stuart but also scored a breathtaking 105-meter effort of his own.
The Eels, despite the loss, had several players who displayed promise and fought hard in their respective positions.
Sean Russell shone brightly on the wing, scoring a try in the first half, while hooker Brendan Hands seized the opportunity to shine in the absence of his rival, Joey Lussick.
This match was a testament to the Raiders' determination and skill, leaving the Eels with plenty to reflect on as they prepare for future challenges.
