Raiders 38 Eels 10

The Canberra Raiders have beaten the Eels 38-10 in Canberra.

Four tries in the first 12 minutes have given them a healthy lead early in the first half. Backrower Glen Turner grabbed two tries, both from close range as Parramatta, who looked genuine NRL premiership contenders against Wests Tigers last weekend, began to fray defensively.

The other early try scorers for Canberra were five-eighth Terry Campese and prop Scott Logan. A short and high rugby union style drop out from Eels' fullback Luke Burt provided the Raiders will a full set of six well inside Parramatta territory.
