The Canberra Raiders NRLW squad, underdogs, impressively starts their 2026 campaign, aiming for their first finals run after defeating St George.
The Canberra Raiders are used to being underdogs.
That's no different for the NRLW squad, and they're using it to take rivals by surprise and make their first ever finals run, as the Raiders prepare to face the New Zealand Warriors in a standalone home-opener on Sunday.
The women's Green Machine team are riding high after an impressive start to their 2026 campaign, defeating St George Illawarra Dragons 20-4 at Kogarah in round one last weekend.
An outstanding debut from new fullback recruit Sheridan Gallagher, a strong team-wide defensive display, and a try for veteran forward Simaima Taufa in her 50th NRLW game were among the highlights.
