52nd min TRY RAIDERS to half Lani Hall. HAT TRICK! Great break from Claudia Finau, she runs like a centre and then threw a wonderful offload to set up the try. Converted Cosgrove. That’s 50!

55th min TRY RAIDERS to Lola Fletcher. She just dives over from dummy half. Rabbitohs player on the ground, and they have to stretcher her off. She’s moving about, seems to be a leg injury. Cosgrove converts from almost in front.

2024 Round 9 Junior Representatives Wrap
SG Ball
The Canberra Raiders suffered a 40-18 loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Redfern Oval on Good Friday. There was a changing of the guard for the Raiders, with a lot of new faces given an opportunity.
Four players from the Monaro Colts, fresh off a win in the Laurie Daley Cup Grand Final, were included - James Croker, Harry Hudson, Jonah Anderson and Mitchell Brophy. Ten players were left out, including Xavier Cacciotti, Keahn Skipps, Ethan Alaia and Owen Hromow - and it is likely that a good number of those players will now graduate to this year's Jersey Flegg squad.
The relative inexperience and the smaller size of the Raiders' line up told in the end. The Rabbitohs scored the opening three tries, taking a 16-0 lead at the 20 minute mark. Winger Daniel Wright opened the scoring in the corner in the 3rd minute - capitalising on his own intercept and 60 metre run in the lead up. Half Matthew Humphries scored out wide just two minutes later. In the 18th minute, Humphries' kick to the in goal set up a try to centre Jonti Morshead-Feildel.
Brayden Darmody, who had been shifted to centre for this match, scored the first of his three tries in the 24th minute, chasing a good cross field kick from half Sam Chapman. But a try to Rabbitohs winger Charlie Mann, three minutes before half time, ensured the home team went to the break with a 20-6 lead.
The Raiders drew within eight points after Darmody was the first to score in the second half. But that was about as good as it got for the Raiders. The Rabbitohs scored four tries in the second stanza, with Humphries finishing with a hat trick. Wright and Mann both posted doubles. Darmody completed his hat trick in the 62nd minute in unusual circumstances. After a conference with his touch judge, the referee awarded a penalty to the Rabbitohs for the contact on fullback Yasin Kuscu in the contest for the ball. But after a further conference with the touch judge, that was overturned and the try to Canberra was awarded.
It was disappointing that the Raiders did not make the SG Ball finals this year - after Canberra finished as minor premiers in 2023. The squad was strong and widely expected to again be a title contender in 2024. However, big losses to the Knights (56-10) and Steelers (42-18) in the opening two rounds proved to be difficult to come back from. Canberra had a good mid season run, winning four of five matches. But the season was ended by a 54-16 defeat to the Dragons in Round 8 in Sydney. There's always next year.
Season record: Raiders 4 and 5 (11th, -62)

Harold Matthews
The Harold Matthews Raiders finished their season with a 32-22 loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Seiffert Oval on Easter Saturday. Canberra conceded a try to winger Joshua Ballard in just the second minute of the game, after the Raiders were unable to defuse a bomb. Back to back Green Machine tries to centre Preston Smallwood and Cooper Johnston saw the home team take a 10-4 lead after 10 minutes. But the Rabbitohs were very quick to strike back. South Sydney captain Lochlin Moses produced a double in the space of six minutes, while centre Lisiate Mackay-Filihia scored right on half time. Canberra errors gifted the visitors all three opportunities.
The Rabbitohs took a 20-10 lead to the half time break - and they extended that lead to 16 points with a try to fullback Dayne Jennings in the 38th minute. And while Canberra kept themselves in the game with second half tries to Hardy Glover and Samuel Green, that was not enough.
The Raiders made the finals in Harold Matthews last year, but the Green Machine was not so fortunate in 2024. They started the year with losses to the Knights (28-20) and Central Coast Roosters (38-10) - but the loss to the Sharks in Round 3 was even harder to take. They started strongly in that match, going to a 12-0 lead after 15 minutes. The Sharks scored the next three tries taking control of the game. But a try to Kruger Roache with 10 minutes remaining levelled the scores and gave the Raiders a chance of a victory. Green hearts were broken, however, when the Sharks produced the winning field goal with a minute left on the clock. 19-18.
Canberra ended the season with only two wins - the Round 6 victory over the Panthers (34-28) and the Round 9 win over the Dragons (34-14). Beating the Panthers, who finished as minor premiers, was satisfying.
As the Raiders generally rely exclusively on regional talent in Harold Matthews, they don't always find things easy in this grade. Hopefully, it'll be a stronger 2025 season for them.

Tarsha Gale Cup
The Tarsha Gale Raiders produced their best victory of the season in Round 9 - defeating the South Sydney Rabbitohs 60-6 at Seiffert Oval on Easter Saturday. The Rabbitohs scored the first try in only the second minute. It was an easy, short run from dummy half for hooker Mikaylan Langer. However, things went downhill from there for the Bunnies. The Raiders scored a total of 11 tries, with halfback Lahni Hall getting four of them. Fullback Elise Simpson and hooker Lola Fletcher both posted doubles. Goal kicker Lara Cosgrove scored a try and a total of 20 points.
It was a good way to end the season. The Raiders knew they couldn't make the finals coming into Saturday's match. But they finished the year in seventh place on the ladder, just one competition point away from playing finals. They won three of their last four matches. The only top six team they beat was the Sharks. But there is still a good basis to build from for 2025.
