Matt Timoko scores early as Raiders play Penrith

Multiple outlets report that Canberra centre Matt Timoko makes an early impact against Penrith. In the opening stages of the match, Timoko drives over for a try for the Raiders, according to match coverage from Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times, and The Age. The reports consistently describe the same sequence: Timoko “plants it down” shortly after the game begins, giving Canberra an early score. While the supplied summaries focus on this moment, they agree on the player, the teams involved, and the timing of the scoring. No differences are indicated across the sources in how the try is described or when it occurs. The coverage therefore centers on Timoko’s early try as a key early event in the Raiders’ contest with Penrith.
