Crichton\u2019s fiery spray after Dogs duo\u2019s glaring miss sparks \u2018frustration\u2019<\/a><\/p>\nCritta FURIOUS after bombed try | 00:32<\/p>\n
The loss of feeling is something he has had before, Ciraldo confirmed.<\/p>\n
\u201c(It happened as recently as within last couple of years). Something pretty similar, but he\u2019ll get a scan and make sure everything is okay.\u201d <\/p>\n
Crichton was a frustrated man up until his injury, in a match littered with errors by the Dogs, as a young dummy half \u2018on the road to stardom\u2019 orchestrated a 40-16 win which kept the Raiders in the finals\u2019 hunt. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s how Fox commentator Michael Ennis described Canberra\u2019s Owen Pattie who caused havoc for Canterbury with two 40\/20s which both led to tries of which Canberra scored six to three, three of which were scored by the rampaging efforts of lock forward Zac Hosking. <\/p>\n

BIG HITS<\/p>\n
RICKY\u2019S PATIENCE WORKS WONDERS FOR PATTIE<\/p>\n
It appears Ricky\u2019s management of rising star Owen Pattie earlier in the season is working wonders.<\/p>\n
After the Raiders\u2019 win over the Dragons before the bye, Stuart explained his strategy of Pattie building \u2018big minutes\u2019 in NSW Cup to ready the exciting young dummy half for bulk minutes at the NRL level instead of just finishing off with 15 minutes, giving a different look to Tom Starling.<\/p>\n
And that was epitomised by two 40\/20s out of dummy half which both led to tries. The first turned the match on its head and gave the Raiders real momentum to lead 22-nil at half-time. <\/p>\n
With vision more akin to the likes of Harry Grant, Pattie saw the opportunity to pounce leading to the Raiders second try to a bullocking Noah Martin charging onto a short ball from Ethan Sanders.<\/p>\n
And then his second made it 26-4 with a kick to come and gave Hosking his second try. He then set one up with one handed off-load bamboozling the Bulldogs defence to put Hosking over for his third.<\/p>\n

SAVAGE CATCHES DOGS NAPPING<\/p>\n
As the old saying goes play to the whistle, which is exactly what Xavier Savage did to embarrass the Bulldogs in an early sign it was going to be a long night for the home side.<\/p>\n
Returning from a long-term ankle injury fellow Raiders\u2019 youngster Martin made a try saving effort to deny Jethro Rinakama, who looked for all and sundry to have scored leading to jubilation from his Canterbury teammates.<\/p>\n
But before they realised what was going on, Xavier Savage was in full flight and well on his way to scoring in the opposite corner directly parallel with where Canterbury thought they\u2019d opened their account. It was one of many incidents to leave egg on their faces.<\/p>\n
SAVAGE CHANNELS THE WORLD CUP, PATTIE THE NFL<\/p>\n
After his 100 metre effort, Savage then made his mark again to create another Raiders\u2019 try in the 24- point win at Accor Stadium.<\/p>\n
A bit of left foot magic from a mid-air bomb was scooped up b y the star of the show, Pattie, which was then basketballed one-handed over the top to put Hosking over the line under the posts.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gone from Lionel Messi to Patrick Mahomes to Zac Hosking to score, that\u2019s a high-priced try that.\u201d Andrew Voss remarked in commentary.<\/p>\n
STAT ATTACK (via Fox Lab) <\/p>\n
Fox Lab Expected Set Points: Raiders 18.9, Bulldogs 18.2<\/p>\n
– A poor performance with the ball for the Bulldogs, completing just 66 percent of their sets (their second worst this season). <\/p>\n
– Raiders\u2019 biggest win and highest score of the season. Just the second time they have won consecutive games. <\/p>\n
– Raiders\u2019 biggest win over the Bulldogs since 2012 – only the third time they have cracked the 40 point mark against them. The victory snapped a three game losing streak for the Raiders against the Bulldogs. <\/p>\n
– The Bulldogs\u2019 ninth loss of the season, with their winning streak ending at three games. Lost only eight regular season games in 2025. All nine losses they have conceded 21 points or more, won all seven games conceding 20 or less. <\/p>\n
– Zac Hosking scored the first hat-trick of his career. He has never scored more than one previously<\/p>\n
Fox Lab POTM – Ethan Sanders had a hand in four of the Raiders six tries – double his previous best assist count. His 16 points from 8\/9 goals was also a new career high.<\/p>\n
