The Canberra Raiders have opened their account for 2024 with a big pre-season win over the Parramatta Eels at Kogarah, eventually running out 38 points to 16 winners.

Both coaches will come away from the clash with plenty of questions as they prepare for a season where they are both, frankly, looking for better than what they were able to get 12 months ago.

That is particularly so for Parramatta, but the Raiders too are looking to prevent a slide out of the top eight after sneaking in last year.

In a thrilling display of skill and determination, the Raiders dominated the Eels in a resounding 38-16 victory.

With three tries in just nine minutes, the Raiders showcased their superiority and proved why they deserved the maximum 15 Pre-Season Challenge points.

The match, held at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney, was a redemption for the Raiders who failed to win any games in last year's Pre-Season Challenge.

The standout performer of the game was Raiders centre hopeful James Schiller, who not only provided a try assist for Jed Stuart but also scored a breathtaking 105-meter effort of his own.
