The Raiders' Round 23 loss may inspire their NRL premiership victory after two winning streaks.
If the Canberra Raiders go onto to win the NRL premiership, they'll look back on their shock Round 23 loss to St George Illawarra as a major factor.
I believe it will be the defeat to push them in the direction their football must go.
Canberra have enjoyed a long winning streak, actually they've had two - a five-game run of victories early in the season before a loss to Canterbury, and then nine straight after that.
An amazing feat and one of which club, coach and player must be proud.
