The Bulldogs website, bulldogs.com.au, has reported that in a hard-fought match on Sunday, the Raiders secured a 36-24 victory over the Bulldogs, moving four points clear of their rivals in the battle for the remaining top-eight spots.
Throughout the first 66 minutes of the game, the gap between the two teams never exceeded six points.
However, it was Jordan Rapana who made the crucial impact with a try that brought relief to the crowd at GIO Stadium in Canberra.
