The Dragons ended a four-game losing streak by upsetting ladder leaders the Raiders 18-12 in challenging, stormy conditions at Wollongong.
Kyle Flanagan’s flawless goal-kicking proved pivotal, while Mathew Feagai and Corey Allan contributed key tries.
Despite Matt Timiko scoring twice for Canberra, the Raiders missed opportunities due to poor kicking and crucial errors. The Dragons’ determined defensive stand late secured the victory.
The result jeopardizes Canberra’s chance at their first minor premiership in 35 years, with the Bulldogs poised to overtake them depending on Sunday’s result.
