Is it time the Raiders revisited their winning strategy from 2012 and 2016?
The Raiders struggle at home, winning only once in seven games, contrasting with their three road wins this season.
Region Canberra
This season, the Raiders have again won more games away from home, with three wins on the road, compared to just one at Canberra Stadium.
In the past seven games at home, taking into account last season when they went down to the Broncos and the Sharks, the Raiders have won just one of their past seven at GIO.
The only victory at home this season for the Raiders has been against the Storm.
In stark contrast, in the 2025 regular season, the Raiders lost just one game at Canberra Stadium, and that was to the Bulldogs, when Stephen Crichton lifted his side to overcome a 20-to-nil halftime deficit.
