It was all about the return of Terry Campese – and something of a collapse from the visitors – when these two teams met at Canberra Stadium in Round 6 earlier this season.
The Warriors led 10-4 at halftime but errors – and Campese’s introduction from the bench after returning from an injury – cruelled their progress in the second half.
The Warriors completed just nine of 14 sets in the second stanza as the Canberra backline put on a clinic.
While the final 20-16 scoreline didn’t reflect it, the Raiders’ backs ran riot, with Reece Robinson (202 metres), Jarrod Croker (111 metres), Jack Wighton (104 metres) and Edrick Lee (116 metres and two tries) all impressing.
