The Raiders did lead the Roosters 14-4 at one stage thanks to tries to Bobbi Law, Sheridan Gallagher and Jordyn Preston. However, Zahara Temara could only kick one of her attempts at goal, something that came back to bite the hosts. Sariah Paki, Tarryn Aiken and Jayme Fressard all scored, with Jocelyn Kelleher kicking all three conversions to come from behind to seal the win, their first in Canberra since 2020.
