Two-try hero Corey Harawira-Naera was not yet on the field when rookie Raider Albert Hopoate slammed down his first NRL try, but if he was, he would have been front and centre to congratulate the winger.
"It was a proud father moment," Harawira-Naera said after Canberra's 26-14 victory over the Warriors.
Hopoate made his starting debut for the Green Machine against New Zealand and scored the first of four unanswered tries as the home team stormed home to a superb comeback win.
