The team's latest victim was the Long Flat Dragons when they played on the weekend.
The Raiders came away easy winners 48-18 against a depleted Dragons outfit.
Played at the Raiders home ground they were quick to make an impression on the scoreboard crossing the line in the first three minutes of the game through Gavan Burnham.
They didn't let up and by the eight minute mark of the game had a lead of 18-nil, crossing two more times.
By the half-time break the Raiders had kicked away even more and took a 30-10 lead.
The game tightened up a bit in the second half but the Raiders were convincing winners.
Drew Smith, Matt Irby and Burnham finished with two tries each and one to Bo Wilson and Nick Brooks.
Zac Bruen-Ansell showed his pin point accuracy with the boot and converted eight from eight.
No Hastings League games will be played over the long weekend.
The Raiders' next game will be a big test for them up against defending premiers the Comboyne Tigers at the Lake Cathie Sporting Complex on June 21
