In a fiery Round 2 encounter, the Wests Tigers faced a tough defeat against the Canberra Raiders, as Benji Marshall‘s coaching debut ended in a loss. The Raiders displayed superior performance, securing a 32-12 victory at GIO Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Raiders started strong with a dominant opening, capitalizing on the Tigers’ errors and taking an early 14-0 lead. Ethan Strange shone for Canberra, contributing to the team’s first two tries with impressive plays alongside Seb Kris, Xavier Savage, and Danny Levi.

Despite a brief resurgence from the Tigers in the first half, highlighted by Apisai Koroisau’s experience and leadership, the Raiders continued to dictate the game with Zac Hosking’s standout performance in the second half cementing their lead.

Marshall faced a tough decision benching Jayden Sullivan for Aidan Sezer early in the game, raising questions about the Tigers’ strategy and lineup choices moving forward.

On the other hand, Ricky Stuart‘s Raiders displayed depth in their squad, with players like Mitch Spencer, James Schiller, and Mania Waitere showcasing their skills and contributing significantly to the team’s dominant performance.
