Match Preview: NRL Round 26 vs Raiders
Wests Tigers head to the nation’s capital this Saturday as they get set to face a red-hot Raiders outfit in Round 26 at GIO Stadium.
www.weststigers.com.auHere’s the latest I could gather about the Raiders vs. Wests Tigers matchups based on recent results:
- In 2025, the Raiders defeated the Wests Tigers 16-12 in Campbelltown during Round 16, with Jed Stuart scoring on debut and Joe Tapine making key plays for the Raiders late in the first half. This result indicates the Raiders’ strong defense and late-game execution in that meeting.[1]
- A separate 2025 highlight recap notes the Raiders leading 16-0 at halftime, then the Tigers mounting a late comeback, but ultimately the Raiders held on for the win.[1]
- In April 2026, Wests Tigers defeated the Raiders 33-14 at Leichhardt Oval, building a multi-score lead late and extending with a field goal. This shows the Tigers capable of pulling away and securing a comfortable win in a different season’s matchup.[3]
- A live recap from 2026 Round 8 shows the Tigers leading 6-0 early and eventually finishing 33-14, with key moments including Luke Laulilii’s second try and a late field goal by Adam Doueihi, reflecting the Tigers’ offensive spark in that game.[3]
