Broncos defeat Raiders in tough conditions with Waaka's performance leading to back-to-back wins.
Doubles to Stacey Waaka and Julia Robinson led the Broncos to a 28-22 victory over the Raiders in oppressive conditions at Totally Workwear Stadium on Saturday.
With temperatures in the high 20s, both sides produced some quality attack before the Broncos sealed back-to-back wins when Waaqa crossed for her second four-pointer in the 66th minute.
A poor start for the Raiders when they allowed the kick-off to go dead and the Broncos made them pay when Waaka flew high to bring down an Ali Brigginshaw bomb and found Romy Teitzel who sent it on to centre Shenae Ciesiolka for a 4-0 lead after two minutes.
