Raiders thrash Panthers

The Canberra Raiders have broken a two-year curse after defeating the Penrith Panthers 30-12 at McDonalds Park in Wagga Wagga on Saturday afternoon.

This is the Raiders’ first victory over the Panthers in the past four matches between the clubs.

Despite losing John Bateman early on through injury, the Green Machine managed to keep the Panthers at bay throughout the game and win their sixth match of the 2019 season.

The Raiders were the first to score eight minutes in after Sam Williams placed a perfectly timed grubber for Michael Oldfield, who came in late to the side to replace the injured Joey Leilua.
