Canberra dominated early, leading 10-0 as Bulldogs struggled with discipline and decision-making.
It was the ultimate tale of two halves. Canberra came out of the blocks strong and within four minutes capitalised on some sloppy discipline and defence from the Bulldogs with Zac Hosking scoring near the posts.
The visitors struggled to get their hands on the footy and kept making poor decisions with and without the ball. Canberra fullback Kaeo Weekes found his way through some of that poor defending and the Raiders were up 10-0 before the quarter-mark of the game.
