08 :: R18 Sun :: Dragons 12 Raiders 19 @ WIN

[bileduct]

Raiders hit the front in the 68th minute.

Raiders lead 30 - 28 with kick to come.

 

[Timmah]

Raiders have turned it right around here, playing very well.

 

[skeepe]

Finally Hudson gets sent off, albeit for only 10 mins for having no less than 3 goes at the referee.

The Raiders have scored 22 points in 10 minutes.

 

[skeepe]

Dragons prop O'Brien on report for a chicken wing. Gee this Dragons team is dirty.

 

[Timmah]

:lol: Get over it you chronic whiner!

Tongue confirmed starter today in #20

Stanley is out of the Saints' lineup.

 

[ethos]

According to Grandstand, Tongue's back from injury for Canberra. Costigan's on the bench as well.

 

[Hutty1986]

F*cking hell, todays game just became even more dangerous

 

[bileduct]

Raiders over again to seal the game... 36 - 28 in the 77th minute, kick to come.

 

[Gaba]

Might be a foolish thing for canberra to do imo, why would they risk a player who is vital for them.

If he gets hurt further this game, then the supporters can blame those who let him play

 

[bileduct]

There's never been a bigger f**kwit to call the game than Wayne Pearce.

Volume off.

 

[Timmah]

Toyota over - 38-28 to Canberra. Great comeback, showed a lot of courage. Looks like the U20's team has inherited the old Saints NRL gene.

 

[innsaneink]

rag time again for skeepe i see

 

[African Monkey]

Good win for the Raiders U20 side.

 

[gong_eagle]

I smell an upset

 

[skeepe]

Danger game here for both sides. The Raiders don't look like a side that can trouble a full-strength Dragons, but we've been a bogey team for them for a long while now (apart from a game I'd rather forget at WIN last year) while for the Raiders, we really need to win to keep in touch with the 8. Only 3 points outside the 8 as it stands, but plenty of teams in the same situation.

 

[God-King Dean]

That Hudson wanker should have been sent off. If that's not a send-off nothing is. Completely unfair Canberra lose a player & Dragons get to keep theirs.

 

[nickraider]

Costigan and Thurling both named on the bench according to ABC radio

 

[Hutty1986]

Canberra go close early

Edit: So do the Dragons, but Canberra survive

 

[gong_eagle]

so whats the crowd look like ?

 

[Timmah]

Looks pretty packed, the hill looked full at 1:30 when Fox started.

Video referee denies Saints an early try.
