The Canberra Raiders kicked off the NRL season with a dominant 30-8 victory over the Warriors, leaving fans and critics impressed by their performance.
The Warriors, on the other hand, struggled in their first game post-Shaun Johnson, with their new halves combination failing to spark the team.
James Fisher-Harris, a prized player for the Warriors, had minimal impact on the game and was substituted off early on.
The Raiders' captain, Joe Tapine, was sin-binned for a shoulder charge, potentially facing further scrutiny.
Despite scoring a late try through Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, the Warriors were unable to mount a successful comeback.
Overall, it was a disappointing start to the season for the Warriors, while the Raiders looked in fine form and will surely be celebrating their convincing victory.
