The Greenhouse

22nd min The Sharks having some success with mid field bombs as well... TRY RAIDERS to Brad Abbey. Rapana makes a break, passes to Leilua and Abbey is backing up inside. Thought both passes were going to be called forward... but not so! Sam Williams throws a handful of grass in the air... lines up t...

The Raiders have not had the ball for 13 minutes.

20th min The Sharks are making huge inroads down the Raiders' right side.

16th min TRY SHARKS to Ricky Leutele, set up by an inside pass from Edrick Lee. The Raiders are shot ducks at the moment, Austin made the tackle but there was a big overlap. They simply cannot control the Sharks' attack. Very good passing. Chad Townsend converts.

Sharks 12-0

14th min Another penalty to the Sharks in the red zone, hand in the ruck... they're going for penalty goal. Rapana comes back on. It was a great tackle from Whitehead in the lead up to the Leilua knock down to stop a try. PENALTY GOAL SHARKS to Chad Townsend... FAILS! It hits the upright and goes de...

13th min Joey Leilua stops a try by knocking down a pass... looks like it went back and out off the Sharks... but the Sharks get the feed in the red zone. Canberra is rocking and reeling.

10th min TRY SHARKS to Andrew Fifita. He just steamrolls over the top of Hodgson and shrugs off Lui and Papalii. That is awful defence from Canberra. They make the Raiders pay for the Rapana sin binning. They convert from virtually in front.

Sharks 6-0

9th min Elliott Whitehead gives away a penalty on the fifth tackle, tackle on Edrick Lee. Gives the Sharks a shot in the red zone.

Very tough call to bin Rapana in the first five minutes! Hopefully there is a roundabout.

7th min Hodgson grubber is good, but Valentine Holmes just manages to get out of the in goal.

5th min Raiders survive, with a Sharks grubber going dead. Seven tackle set for Canberra.

4th min Abbey drops the bomb, the Sharks regather, and now Jordan Rapana is binned for a professional foul. What a start!

2nd min Scott Sorensen spills the ball and the pressure is off the Raiders.

We are underway, Sharks kick off... Dunamis Lui makes an error in the first play the ball. It is followed by a penalty to the Sharks in the red zone.

Sam Williams is practising the goal kicking in the warm up... and not doing too well!

Ricky Stuart says that he was going to play Nick Cotric at fullback and Blake Austin at centre... until the hamstring injury for Aidan Sezer. Presumably the team list was a SMOKESCREEN! Cotric may still play at the back at times tonight. Don't forget, Josh Hodgson and Jordan Rapana will be on Sunday...

Welcome to our coverage of tonight's NRL clash between the Canberra Raiders and Cronulla Sharks! Here are the final team line ups: Canberra Raiders 1. Brad Abbey 2. Nick Cotric 3. Michael Oldfield 4. Joey Leilua 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Sam Williams 14. Blake Austin 8. Dunamis Lui 9. Josh Hodgson (C) 10....

78th min TRY RAIDERS to Aidan Sezer! YES! YES! YES! Sezer converts his own try.

Raiders 38-12

FULL TIME

73rd min TRY RAIDERS to Jordan Rapana. Chases the kick from Sezer and the Cowboys can’t cover it up in goal. Aidan Sezer converts.

Raiders 32-12

That’s a lead of more than three converted tries with six minutes to go.

70th min TRY RAIDERS to Michael Oldfield, he makes the break off the scrum and runs the length to score under the posts. Hat trick. Aidan Sezer converts.

Raiders 26-12

65th min TRY RAIDERS to Michael Oldfield, the Cowboys can’t handle the kick and he gets his second of the night. Aidan Sezer... GOALS!

Raiders 20-12

Raiders kick off to start the second half.

Croker dislocated knee cap.

HALF TIME

Canberra Raiders 14
North Queensland Cowboys 12

35th min TRY COWBOYS to Gavin Cooper chasing a Thurston grubber. EASY. Served on a platter to the Cowboys by a simple error. Thurston converts.

Raiders 14-12

34th min Rapana and Austin allow the kick off to bounce over the sideline.

32nd min Austin claiming a try. The call on field is no try, but it looks like a try on replay. He’s grounded it. No doubt. TRY awarded to Blake Austin, chases the kick and just grounds it inside the dead ball line. Sezer out wide... converts!

Raiders 14-6

31st min Croker is off. Great work Whitehead, passes to Oldfield to avoid being forced in goal.

26th min Ridiculous penalty against Croker for taking out a Cowboys player mid air, Feldt. He was just going for the ball.

25th min Great bomb defusal from Cotric, earns a 20m tap.

24th min Great tackle Papalii on Coote.

The temperature is now under 1C, -3.2C apparent temperature.

20th min TRY COWBOYS to Lachlan Coote. The Raiders failed to stop the offloads and the direct runners up the middle. Not great defence. Thurston converts from in front.

Raiders 8-6

15th min Canberra hold the Cowboys out after a Dunamis Lui error. They force an error from Jake Granville on the try line.

11th min TRY RAIDERS to Michael Oldfield. Great passes from Hodgson and Croker to set it up. Croker still being troubled by a knee injury. No conversion Sezer.

Raiders 8-0

4th min TRY RAIDERS to Jordan Rapana, off a Sam Williams kick to the try line! No conversion Croker.

Raiders 4-0
