It is officially the second half of the season in the Canberra Raiders Cup with a stacked line up of matches occurring across the Canberra region on Saturday afternoon.

Round 8 of the NRL was one for the history books, and not just for the scorelines. A staggering 18 players were sin-binned, the most ever recorded in a single round, as officials cracked down hard on high shots and foul play. Amid the chaos, the ladder shifted dramatically, with shock results shaking up the pecking order.
