The Canberra Raiders NSW Cup team showcased their top form on Sunday afternoon, securing a solid 30-6 victory over the Parramatta Eels at GIO Stadium.
After a bit of back and forth in the opening stages of the game, a crucial error from Parramatta's fullback Ethyn Martin gave the Raiders the perfect opportunity to make their mark on the match.
In a textbook play, Adam Cook set up a slick move on the short side, allowing Jed Stuart to score a try without a hand laid on him.
The Raiders wasted no time in doubling their lead, as Cook's perfectly placed grubber kick found flyer Manaia Waitere, who sprinted over the line to make it 8-0.
The Green Machine kept the pressure on, with Noah Martin's powerful run forcing the Eels to make a substitution as Dehan Asi went off for a head injury assessment.
A quick tap from the replacement Matthew Arthur caught the Raiders defense off guard, resulting in some chaos as they scrambled to regroup.
Overall, it was a dominant performance from the Raiders, signaling their determination and skill as they continue their campaign in the NSW Cup.
