Warriors crushed 30-8 in Vegas season opener

The Warriors’ much-anticipated season opener ended in disappointment as they suffered a crushing 30-8 defeat to the Canberra Raiders in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Outplayed in every aspect, they struggled both in attack and defense, missing tackles and failing to slow the ruck, while the Raiders showcased grit and discipline.

Canberra ran in five tries to two, with opportunities for more, as the Warriors made costly errors, including a pivotal intercept pass from Luke Metcalf.

A brief glimmer of hope before halftime faded quickly as the Raiders extended their lead, sealing a comprehensive victory.

With coach Andrew Webster left to reassess, the Warriors face a crucial test against Manly in round two.
