Canberra Raiders gave effort but lost to Canterbury Bulldogs in Josh Papalii's 300th game.
You couldn't fault the Canberra Raiders' effort, but given it was Josh Papali'i's 300th NRL game that was never going to be a factor.
But it wasn't quite enough in a thriller at a sold-out Belmore, with the Canterbury Bulldogs getting up 22-18 on Sunday.
It was the biggest crowd at the venue since 2015.
