The high-flying Canberra Raiders have copped a devastating blow to their premiership hopes after gun winger Xavier Savage was ruled out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Savage has been a key component of the Raiders' breathless, relentless attacking machine that has turned Ricky Stuart's outfit into likely minor premiers and genuine contenders to break a title drought that has lasted since 1994.

However, the 23-year-old who has scored 12 tries this season will play no further part in the campaign, after the severity of his injury was confirmed by the club, who sent out a statement on Tuesday declaring that Savage had fractured his shoulder in the golden point thriller against the Panthers.

But in a stunning turnaround, the Raiders are closing in on their first minor premiership in more than three decades with just two rounds of the regular season remaining.
