The mighty Canberra Raiders have shown incredible grit and determination in a stirring comeback win over the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium during Magic Round.

The Green Machine's solid defensive effort paved the way for their hard-earned victory, as they left Brisbane with a well-deserved two points in hand.

Fresh and firing after a well-deserved break, the Raiders started the match on fire as Savage capitalized on a Tracey error off a stunning Weekes midfield bomb to score first.

Despite taking an early 6-0 lead, Canterbury had the upper hand in the first twenty minutes, with their best chance coming from a promising move down the left edge that was thwarted by Addo Carr's slick defensive skills.

Magic round kicked off with a mid-table clash between the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and the Canberra Raiders. What many expected to be a mundane match was filled with twists and excitement, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats until the last minute.

A Kaeo Weekes kick was spilt by Connor Tracey in just the fourth minute of the game which Xavier Savage pounced on to open the scoring. Rapana converted but soon both sides were back in the arm wrestle. Josh Addo-Carr looked close to scoring but had a foot in touch, and Canberra later capitalised on another Bulldogs error for Sebastian Kris to cross over untouched.

It was 12-0 and the Raiders looked right on top as they dominated the pace towards the backend of the half. Eventually, the momentum flipped through a mistake to Canberra where cult hero Jacob Preston dived on a grubber kick which not even two Raiders players could contain.
