Xavier Savage scored twice, leading the Raiders to a 24-16 comeback win over the Dragons despite a poor first half and Savelio Tamale's errors.
Canberra have shrugged off an uninspired first half and a plucky St George Illawarra outfit to overcome the NRL's cellar-dwellers 24-16 at a bleak GIO Stadium.
Languishing in 16th place with their finals hopes on life support, the Raiders knew only a win on Sunday could help save their disappointing minor premiership defence.
They couldn't have made a poorer start as St George dominated the opening 40 minutes, although they struggled to seriously punish the home team and took only a four-point lead into the break.
