Ethan Strange’s electrifying try in the 6th minute set the tone for an afternoon of dominating rugby, with Hudson Young’s subsequent effort cementing the Raiders’ lead.
However, the Storm’s announcement that Will Warbrick would require surgery to repair his ruptured Achilles tendon cast a shadow over what otherwise promised to be a day of celebration.

The Raiders hosted the Rabbitohs, while the Storm took on the Roosters in a closely watched matchup. These games not only offer a glimpse into the future of women’s rugby but also provide a platform for players to showcase their skills in a competitive environment.
The season is hurtling towards its climax, and nothing can be taken for granted in the NRL. Upsets will continue to happen, and teams will need to dig deep to emerge victorious. For Canberra, Saturday’s win serves as a testament to their resilience and determination – qualities that will undoubtedly serve them well as they strive for success in the months ahead.
The Storm’s injury news has overshadowed what was otherwise shaping up to be a thrilling finale to the season. The NRL remains an essential part of the sport’s fabric, reminding fans that no matter where you come from or what level you compete at, the pursuit of excellence is a universal language.
As the final whistle blows on another drama-filled season, it remains to be seen which team will emerge victorious. But for now, Canberra’s triumph has left an indelible mark on the competition, and their fans can look forward to seeing how they build on this momentum in the months ahead.
