The Canberra Raiders put their hand up as NRLW premiership contenders with a gutsy golden point victory on Saturday, despite allowing a nervy second-half fightback.

The Green Machine defeated St George Illawarra Dragons 19-18, with co-captains Zahara Temara (seven points, 234 kicking metres) and Simaima Taufa (one try, 197 metres, 44 tackles) both standouts once again.

Zahara Temara scored the decisive field goal in golden point for their third-straight win.
