“We Need Actions, Not Words”: Raiders Crumble in Record-Breaking Defeat
In a crushing blow to their finals hopes, the Canberra Raiders suffered a humiliating loss that saw records tumble and fans left shattered. The Green Machine was dismantled by a ruthless opposition, with defensive lapses and lack of intensity exposing deep flaws in Ricky Stuart’s squad.

Post-match, co-captain Elliott Whitehead didn’t mince words: “We need actions, not words. We keep talking, but nothing’s changing.” The scoreboard told a painful story as the Raiders conceded their highest number of points at home in over a decade.
With their season now teetering, pressure mounts on the playing group to respond. Fans demand accountability. Finals are slipping away — and only immediate, united action can stop the slide.
