With only 90 seconds remaining, the Raiders launched an incredible last‑tackle, 55‑metre play. Hudson Young burst down the left, offloaded to Xavier Savage, who grubbered in behind to Kaeo Weekes. Weekes flicked to Simi Sasagi, and a final off‑load put the ball in Sebastian Kris’s hands, who grounded it in the corner. Jamal Fogarty converted to seal a 24–20 win .
Fox Sports called it the “best try of the season,” and totalRL described Kris’s score as a “match‑winning try for the ages” .
