Canberra aims for their first minor premiership in 35 years after defeating St George Illawarra, 28-24.
Canberra are eyeing a first minor premiership in 35 years after hat-trick hero Kaeo Weekes inspired a 28-24 defeat of gallant St George Illawarra at GIO Stadium.
The Dragons, missing 11 players to injury, never let their hosts breathe easily on Saturday night but fullback Weekes' first two tries either side of the break gave the Raiders the buffer they needed.
With their seventh consecutive win, Canberra move two competition points clear atop the NRL ladder and enjoy a favourable run to finals.
