We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has called for a new stadium to be built in the capital city after an unpleasant smell was noticed at GIO Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The "pungent aroma" as referred to by a reporter in Stuart's press conference didn't stop the Raiders from securing a 32-12 win over the Tigers but it didn't go unnoticed from the club's long-time coach.
Asked about the smell, Stuart expressed his sympathy for fans who had to put up with it, before making a call for change.
In a thrilling display of Rugby League skill and strategy, the Canberra Raiders emerged victorious over the Wests Tigers, leaving Benji Marshall facing his first tough decision as coach.
The Tigers' lack of discipline in the game's early stages handed the Raiders a significant advantage, with the Green Machine taking a commanding 14-0 lead in the first 20 minutes.
Fans were treated to a display of talent from Canberra's Ethan Strange, who played a key role in the Raiders' first two tries, showcasing his prowess on the field.
Despite the pre-game hype surrounding Tigers' rookie Lachlan Galvin, it was Strange who stole the spotlight with his impressive performance.
In a gritty clash down in the nation's capital, the Canberra Raiders proved to be too strong for the Wests Tigers, securing a comfortable 32-12 victory on Saturday afternoon.
This win marked a significant milestone for coach Ricky Stuart, who notched up his 250th win as an NRL coach.
It was a sweet victory for the Raiders, as they achieved back-to-back wins for the first time since Round 19 last year, following their opening-round triumph over the Knights.
Stuart's coaching prowess was on full display as he guided the Raiders to victory, becoming one of only seven coaches to reach such a milestone in the league's history.
