For a game that finished with both sides scoring 20+, it was a quiet start in Bruce. The scoreboard wasn't troubled until the quarter-mark of the game when Xavier Savage went aerial to score in the corner off a messy lead-up.

The Red V hit back through Tyrell Sloan at the 33rd minute with a right side shift, and despite Kyle Flanagan's missed conversion, scores were levelled two minutes later through a penalty goal.

Dragons forward Jaydn Su'A will await the match review committee's judiciary report after he was punished for a hip-drop tackle on Joseph Tapine.

The Raiders prop left the field in the 25th minute, after he was taken down by Su'A.

On this occasion Tapine was caught between the legs of Su'A, unlike the usual hip-drop tackle where the defender drops their weight on the legs of the ball-runner.

Jamal Fogarty and the Canberra Raiders host Clint Gutherson and the St George Illawarra Dragons in a blockbuster clash at GIO Stadium.

The Dragons took the pressure off under fire halfback Kyle Flanagan with a win over the Eels, but they'll need to keep winning to ensure the heat doesn't come back on the 26-year-old.

The Raiders are flying at the top of the NRL ladder, with six straight wins, as they host the Dragons at GIO Stadium on Saturday evening.

If Canberra are to extend that winning streak to seven, they'll need to do so without Josh Papali'i, who will come out of representative retirement for the Maroons in Wednesday night's decider against the Blues at Accor Stadium, and Hudson Young, who is also on Origin duty with NSW.
