Raiders winger Matt Timoko will be kept up all night tonight after bombing a certain try against the Eels.

However, there was one moment in particular that wasn't so pretty.

Saturday afternoon's
win over Parramatta
wasn't pretty, but a powerful second-half surge helped see the Raiders maintain their spot at the top of the NRL ladder and edge closer to a first minor premiership since 1990.

Playing in front of a sold-out GIO Stadium on a stunning winter's Saturday afternoon, the Raiders weren't at their best, but were still way too good for a plucky Eels side, scoring 28 second-half points and running out 40-16 winners.

The victory was Canberra's eighth straight and fittingly was played in the presence of a host of Raiders legends returning to honour the club's history in their annual Forever Green celebration.
