The mighty Canberra Raiders have shown incredible grit and determination in a stirring comeback win over the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium during Magic Round.
The Green Machine's solid defensive effort paved the way for their hard-earned victory, as they left Brisbane with a well-deserved two points in hand.
Fresh and firing after a well-deserved break, the Raiders started the match on fire as Savage capitalized on a Tracey error off a stunning Weekes midfield bomb to score first.
Despite taking an early 6-0 lead, Canterbury had the upper hand in the first twenty minutes, with their best chance coming from a promising move down the left edge that was thwarted by Addo Carr's slick defensive skills.
However, the Raiders received another stroke of luck from the Bulldogs when a strong tackle on Kiraz forced a turnover, leading to Kris scoring his first try of the match.
The Bulldogs fought back as Preston seized on a loose ball to get his team on the scoreboard, taking advantage of a collision between Savage and Rapana while trying to deal with a Hutchinson grubber.
Ultimately, the Raiders dug deep and showed true fighting spirit to secure a memorable win over their opponents, much to the delight of their loyal fans and supporters.
