The Canberra Raiders pulled off a sensational comeback on Sunday, clawing back an 18-point deficit to defeat the Dolphins 40-28, with coach Ricky Stuart later revealing what inspired their unforgettable Anzac Round victory.
The Dolphins came to the capital boasting wins by 18 or more points in their three previous games, and the visitors showcased that attacking prowess in a devastating first half that had the Raiders completely shell-shocked, trailing 28-10.
But after the half, the Green Machine looked unstoppable, scoring five unanswered tries - and a penalty goal - to post their fourth-straight NRL win.
