The Bulldogs started strong, with Jonathan Sua showcasing his speed down the left flank, setting up Enari Tuala for a try, putting Canterbury ahead 6-0.

Ricky Stuart has shed light on the pivotal role of Canberra's leadership group in the development of the Raiders, particularly focusing on captain Joseph Tapine.

In a recent incident, Tapine took the initiative to inform Stuart's son, Jed, about his NRL debut against the Wests Tigers, showcasing the team's supportive environment.

With rookie Savelio Tamale sidelined due to a knee injury, the leadership group-nicknamed 'Club 82' after the year the Raiders entered the premiership-convinced Coach Stuart that Jed was prepared to step up.

Jed, who will celebrate his 24th birthday soon, quickly justified their confidence by scoring a first-half try, contributing to the Raiders' narrow 16-12 victory at Campbelltown.
