Raiders run rings around the Warriors as Hodgson brings up ton

It's something the Canberra Raiders want to be known for – honouring milestones for their teammates.

And they couldn't have done it much better for co-captain Josh Hodgson's 100th NRL game – flogging the New Zealand Warriors 46-12 at Mt Smart Stadium on Friday night.

Hodgson played a big hand in it himself, scoring a try, setting one up, running, kicking, stripping. Everything.

It sent the Raiders second on the ladder, although both the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs are yet to play this round.

The Green Machine head into their massive clash against the Roosters at Canberra Stadium on Sunday week with four straight wins.

Raiders prop Sia Soliola was also celebrating a milestone – his 300th first-grade game in the the NRL and Super League.

He turned back the clock to his NRL debut with the Roosters in 2005 when he started on the wing, showing a turn of pace to open the scoring.

His front-row partner Josh Papalii continued his brilliant season, charging for 157 metres and a try.

Hodgson's the best in the NRL at the one-on-one strip and he produced another, with the turnover leading to a try – Aidan Sezer grubbering in behind to Michael Oldfield.

It was the first of two for Oldfield, who also scored in the second half.

Raiders winger Bailey Simonsson also scored a brace – the first from a Hodgson offload that looked forward and the second a barnstormer in which he beat five defenders.

Raiders second-rower Joe Tapine was brilliant. He ran for 148m and scored a try just before half-time to make it 30-0 at the break.

It could've been more with Jarrod Croker having two ruled out by the bunker.

Making matters worse for the Warriors, they lost halfback Kodi Nikorima to an ankle injury after 20 minutes.

His replacement Chanel Harris-Tavita scored all of the Warriors points, including two second-half tries.

The win was rounded off with an all-too-easy Jack Wighton try in the dying seconds and Soliola taking the conversion to cap his milestone off perfectly.
