Westy correct. Of course we were told by someone on this board(no names no packdrill) rugby league is in Canberra by default.Methinks the game has strong foundations in the capital,evidenced by the support,juniors, when they are winning or on a decent night weatherwise.

The locals must have had a better idea than anyone else. The rugby boys still turn out in better numbers for league than AFL. i think the rugby codes still have some mileage in the ACT.

It will exorcise any complacency they may have gathered during their terrific winning streak and remind them that on any given day in the NRL, you can meet your match. Nothing I saw at Canberra Stadium on Sunday night alters my belief the Dragons are grand final bound. As for the Raiders --- they had no less than FIVE Under 20s players in their line up and each played a significant role in the win. Bring on next season!

Really comes down to getting a good offseason in and maybe a few of the holes in the forwards filled out.

Decent crowd and a great performance from the Green Machine. Hopefully a sign of things to come for the Raiders over the next 2-3 years.

So the pressure is now off, going to take a lot for other teams to beat the Dragons this year. Still hold out hope that the Dogs have the game to beat them on the day.
