Raiders awarded penalty try after Eels player deemed to impede run of Canberra player.

Fox League

The Raiders have been awarded a contentious penalty try, with Eels winger Josh Addo-Carr deemed to have impeded the run of Xavier Savage who was steaming after a grubber kick.

Referee Wyatt Raymond had other ideas, highlighting a potential professional foul from the Parramatta veteran and Bunker official Grant Atkins agreed.

Canberra fullback Kaeo Weekes kicked for his winger 64th minute, with Addo-Carr turning and reaching his arm out, which struck his opposite man during his run towards the ball.

However, after a horrible bounce which looped over the Raiders speedster, he was unable to ground the ball and the play was seemingly dead.

The Raiders immediately got the ball rolling with a quick try to Joe Tapine, who punished a slow Eels defensive line defending just metres off the try line. But the Eels were soon able to hit back, a remarkable solo try to Dylan Brown keeping the game tied after 20 minutes.

But the Raiders ended the half in style, first by a lovely grubber from Jamal Fogarty which allowed Ethan Strange to score his first try of 2025. Then minutes later, a strong kick return by Kaeo Weekes and Xavier Savage set them up on the attack again, which soon led to Hudson Young being rewarded with his first try of the night. Then finally, on the stroke of halftime, Strange broke the line and found Matt Timoko in support to give the Green Machine a 24-6 lead at the break.

Xavier Savage was left stunned in Darwin as he was awarded a contentious penalty try during the Raiders' 50-point blitz against the Eels.

An opportunity to put points on the board was awarded to the Raiders in the 64th minute as Josh Addo-Carr managed to escape the sin bin for contact on Savage.

A grubber kick from Kaeo Weekes bounced over the top of Savage, who was unable to get hold of the ball, but the missed try-scoring display was sent for review by the Bunker.
