Western Suburbs would go on to finish the 1998 season in last place winning only 4 games for the entire year but were handed the wooden spoon as the Gold Coast Chargers who had also finished bottom avoided last position due to a better for and against.

In 1999, Raudonikis played 8 games for the club in what proved to be their last season in the top grade as a stand-alone entity. Raudonikis played in the club's last game before their merger with fellow foundation club Balmain. Raudonikis played at prop as Wests were defeated 60-16 by the Auckland Warriors at Campbelltown Stadium. Western Suburbs would also finish last in 1999 winning only 3 games and conceded 944 points throughout the season which was an average of 39.33 per game, the most in league history.

Following the 1999 season, Raudonikis was not offered a contract to play with the newly formed Wests Tigers.[2][3][4][5]
