Canberra Raiders dominate Warriors in NRL opener after controversy, Xavier Savage impresses with two tries.
Ricky Stuart's Canberra Raiders made a bold statement with a resounding 30-8 victory over the Warriors in their NRL season opener, despite facing controversy in Las Vegas.
Xavier Savage shone with two tries, just days after proposing in front of the Bellagio.
The win was a response to criticism following a hotel scuffle involving teammates Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies.
Stuart praised his team's performance, declaring they "won't finish last" and dismissing their wooden spoon predictions.
