Rampant Raiders overcome scare to consolidate top spot with big win over Eels
Canberra have survived a scare from wooden spoon fancies Parramatta to storm home for a 40-16 win that solidifies top spot on the NRL ladder. If the Raiders were part of any movie, they would be starring in 'Catch Me If You Can'. The competition leaders' 15th win from 18 starts wasn't as comfortable as the final score suggests though. With seven rounds to go the Green Machine still have a bye in hand and won't take on any of the current top four, leaving them in the box seat to win a first minor premiership since 1990. None of Canberra's current crop were alive at the time and coach Ricky Stuart was their halfback. In front of a big crowd at a fast and dry GIO Stadium on Saturday, they finished strongly to win their eighth in a row. Jed Stuart was prolific (two tries, three assists) and Joseph Tapine (165 metres) also made an impact. The Eels were fearless, even without their $13 million man Dylan Brown after coach Jason Ryles dropped him for Joash Papalii. The 21-year-old young gun did set up a try to Sean Russell but was unable to inspire a tired second-half outfit. Second-rower Matt Doorey (165 metres) and Zac Lomax (one try, 228m) were also influential for Parramatta. The Raiders' quick ball movement to the left stunned the visitors, with Stuart strolling over after just four minutes. After extending their advantage through Zac Hosking, Parramatta sprung to life and found the next three tries to lead 16-12 at the break. Canberra returned looking to grind through the Eels' defensive line, a stark contrast to their frantic first-half attack. Jamal Fogarty manufactured the try to put the Raiders back in front when he lofted the ball to Sebastian Kris, who laid it off to a free Stuart for his second of the afternoon. A late double for Owen Pattie and tries to Simi Sasagi and Ethan Strange put the result beyond doubt.

On Old Boys' day, a new breed of Raiders are creating their own legacy
Loading In front of a packed home crowd, Canberra celebrated Old Boys' day. In years to come, the locals may well gather to celebrate the feats of this generation of Raiders. The Green Machine posted an eighth consecutive win, a 40-16 victory against a plucky Parramatta, to remain at the top of the NRL ladder. After coming back from a half-time deficit, Ricky Stuart's men ran away with it to win their 13th game from their last 14 starts. The minor premiership is theirs to lose. It appeared Canberra would do it in a canter after racing out to a 12-0 lead after eight minutes, and the final scoreline suggests it was just that. However, the Eels scored three tries in the opening stanza to threaten a monumental upset. The visitors produced some slick football in front of a stunned crowd that included the axed Dylan Brown. However, they again faded badly against a Raiders outfit that piled on three tries in the final eight minutes. Jed Stuart and Owen Pattie finished with doubles, the main beneficiaries after the hosts finished with 64 per cent possession in the second half. A victory is the result of dozens of pivotal moments. Whether it was Kaeo Weekes somehow holding up Josh Addo-Carr over the tryline or Corey Horsburgh freeing his right arm and getting away an audacious flick pass, the Raiders produced the majority of them. Once they gained momentum for a second time, there was no stopping them. There were moments when Ethan Strange resembled the great Laurie Daley, as the current mob paid homage to previous generations of the Green Machine. When the pivot pounced on a kick ahead at the death from Jed Stuart, GIO Stadium erupted.
