The Canberra Raiders have chalked up back-to-back NRLW wins after a big upset victory over Wests Tigers on Sunday afternoon, but it didn't come cheap with two injury concerns.

While co-captain Simaima Taufa was able to play 70 minutes, and run for 200 metres despite carrying a calf issue into the game, forward Kerehitina Matua, bench hooker Emma Barnes and winger Shakiah Tungai were casualties in the 28-22 win.

Prior to the round three clash the Tigers - lauded as having the best defence in the competition - were undefeated and had only conceded eight points. But the Raiders had little issue scoring five tries to keep an unbeaten home record.
