Chanté Temara's surprise visit for sister Zahara's milestone match inspired Canberra's victory and unity.
Raiders hooker Chanté Temara shared how a surprise visit from their grandparents for sister Zahara's 50th NRLW match played a crucial role in keeping Canberra's finals dreams alive.
Zahara, a trailblazer in the women's game, celebrated her milestone with grace and leadership, clinching a dramatic victory against Wests Tigers by scoring a golden point field goal. This 17-16 win not only broke Canberra's 2025 home ground losing streak but also created a cherished memory for the Temara family, coinciding with Chanté's own achievement of reaching 30 NRLW games.
Behind the scenes, Chanté orchestrated a surprise that transcended mere match preparation-a heartfelt gesture that elicited smiles throughout the squad and contributed to their third consecutive victory.
The Canberra Raiders often receive minimal recognition at the NRL Dally M Awards, historically overlooked.
The Canberra Raiders are used to being snubbed on the NRL's Dally M Awards night.
It's what Ricky Stuart always talks about … the lack of recognition for our minor premiers.
Almost out of sight and out of mind in the national capital.
And the proof lies in the history of the game's most prestigious award, the Dally M Medal.
In the club's previous grand final year in 2019, the Green Machine picked up only one positional award - second-rower John Bateman.
The likes of Josh Papalii, Joe Tapine and Jack Wighton couldn't get a look in.
Rewind further to Canberra's last premiership win in 1994.
Same old story. Fullback Brett Mullins was their one and only winner on the night.
