The Raiders honored their history, securing a 26-22 home victory against the Storm, celebrating their legacy during Forever Green round.
When the going got tough at GIO Stadium on Friday night and a desperate Storm outfit was coming hard at them, Canberra's Class of 2026 drew on the inspiration of Raiders past to hang on for a 26-22 victory.
Significant for so many reasons, the win was the Raiders' first on home soil for 2026 and their first against the Storm at GIO Stadium since 2016.
And it all played out against the backdrop of the Raiders' annual Forever Green round which honours past Canberra players and the club's heritage dating back to its inception in 1982.
