Raiders centre Sebastian Kris showcased his impressive form by orchestrating a remarkable try during a match against the Titans. In the first half in Canberra, the Raiders were behind 6-0 until they launched an offensive. Hudson Young, on the last tackle, delivered a grubber kick that initially seemed to soar too far. However, Kris managed to keep the play alive by skillfully redirecting the ball back into the field of play while airborne.
Notably, several Titans defenders had lost focus, allowing Raiders winger Savelio Tamale to seize the opportunity and touch the ball down first, even as he turned his back on the unfolding action. Andrew Johns, commentating for Nine, expressed amazement at the play, calling it “incredible,” while Cameron Smith pointed out that the Titans learned a critical lesson about maintaining awareness until the ball is securely in their possession.
This pivotal moment reinvigorated the Raiders, with Matthew Timoko scoring shortly after to take the lead, followed by Xavier Savage adding to the score in the 27th minute.
