Match Report NYC: Raiders upset Cowboys at 1300 Smiles Stadium
A superb first half effort by the Canberra Raiders National Youth Competition side has laid the platform for an 18-14 win over the North Queensland Cowboys at 1300 Smiles Stadium.
The win by the Raiders means that the Green Machine have not tasted defeat since round one and have consolidated a position in the top eight.
As mentioned earlier the win was derived from a marvellous first half by the Raiders.
Canberra registered six line breaks to the Cowboys one, nine offloads to three and 709 metres to 451 on the back of a 64% possession rate.
