Titans Defenders Left Red-Faced by Sensational Play Leading to Impressive Raiders Try

Raiders centre Sebastian Kris showcased his exceptional form by creating a stunning try for his team during their clash with the Titans.

In the early stages of the first half in Canberra, the Raiders found themselves trailing 6-0 as they pushed towards the Titans’ line.

On the final tackle, Hudson Young received the ball and executed a grubber kick.

Initially, the kick appeared to be too heavy, but Kris elegantly kept his feet airborne to redirect the ball back into play.

A number of Titans defenders lost focus, allowing Raiders winger Savelio Tamale to spring into action, getting his hand on the ball first, despite having briefly turned his back on the play.

“No way!” exclaimed Andrew Johns on Nine.

“That’s some play; it’s absolutely incredible.”

Cameron Smith remarked, “We all thought that ball was going dead in goal.”

“It’s a lesson for the Titans: never give up, always follow the ball through until it’s in your hands.”

This remarkable try sparked the Raiders into action, with Matthew Timoko crossing over just 10 minutes later to take the lead. Xavier Savage then extended their advantage in the 27th minute.
