The Raiders secured a 30-20 victory over the Titans in a close battle at Cbus Super Stadium, with a standout performance from Hudson Young, who scored two tries.
Despite the Titans taking an early 16-0 lead, the Raiders managed to level the score by halftime and eventually pull away in the second half.
With key players like David Fifita and Jayden Campbell missing due to injury, the Raiders targeted the right side of the Titans' defense, putting pressure on the new halves pairing of Tom Weaver and Chris Randall.
However, the Titans tightened up their defense in the second half, preventing further tries from the Raiders.
Weaver, along with AJ Brimson, stepped up in the absence of key players to lead the Titans in attack.
The Titans will need to work on strengthening their backline and halves combination in preparation for their upcoming game against the Cowboys.
This game highlighted the importance of teamwork and communication, as well as the ability for young players like Weaver to step up and make an impact in crucial moments.
