The Canberra Raiders NSW Cup team secured their second consecutive victory with a 28-16 win against the Newcastle Knights on Sunday.
The Raiders established a solid momentum, leading 16-8 at halftime.

Ricky Stuart criticized the Knights for disrespecting Dane Gagai's contract situation amid struggles.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has criticized the Newcastle Knights for their "disrespectful" handling of Dane Gagai's contract situation.
Despite the Knights suffering a heavy 44-18 loss to the Raiders, Gagai stood out as one of the team's best players.
Reports indicate that Gagai, currently under a $400,000 annual contract, feels disrespected by Newcastle's offer, which includes a potential extension until 2026 but would require a pay cut.
As the Knights deal with injuries and struggle in the season, Gagai has been a bright spot, stepping up in the absence of star player Kalyn Ponga.
