 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a summary of the Round 18 clash (July 5, 2025) between Canberra Raiders and St\u202fGeorge Illawarra Dragons:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Crowd-Puller: Kaeo Weekes starred for Canberra with a stunning hat-trick \u2014 scoring two electrifying 90\u2011metre tries and racking up 342 metres running plus eight tackle busts .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At halftime, it was 12\u20136 to the Raiders, and after extending to 24\u20136 early in the second half, the Dragons fought back late to narrowly miss grounding over the line .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dragons coach Shane Flanagan was furious after a forward pass was ruled against Tyrell Sloan during his would\u2011be first try\u2014flogging referees, saying it “ultimately proved the difference” in the close result .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this win, Canberra stays top of the NRL ladder, leveraging their bye rounds ahead and four home games coming soon\u2014putting them in prime contention for the minor premiership (J.J. Giltinan Shield) .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ricky Stuart (Raiders): Highlighted the importance of finishing strong ahead of the bye.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shane Flanagan (Dragons): Proud of his squad\u2019s fightback but lamented the impact of refereeing decisions\u2014and cheekily noted he \u201cwould\u2019ve been paying a fine\u201d if not for new press-conference rules .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Canberra’s late-season surge, safety in points differential, and home advantage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How the Dragons respond \u2014 confident on form but desperately seeking consistency and better lucky breaks.<\/p>\n
