Raiders put on brave face to upset Roosters with defensive masterclass

Canberra Raiders showed determination with gutsy defense, holding on to win despite setbacks.

The Canberra Times

It was one of the gutsiest defensive efforts the Canberra Raiders have produced.

Twice they were reduced to 12 men. Plus they lost fullback Jordan Rapana to a fractured cheekbone in the first half.

So they tackled themselves to a standstill - making 82 more tackles than the Sydney Roosters - as they held on to win 14-12 at the Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday.
