:thumbBit of positive news filtering through at Ringrose regarding Gower's re-signing. Looks to be done.
Back to the game, Matterson shapes up to the left but steps back to his right, pushing through the primary defenders. He offloads immediately to Makelim who knew it was coming but Corey can't secure the ball. Pity that didn't quite come off as Makelim was away.
Davis and Kaufusi come together for a strong hit down the left. Parra defend well until the last as Makelim does very well to clean up a grubber from the hooker.
The siren rings out as Kaysa takes a hit up and that will do us in the NYC.
Full Time
Parra dft. Canberra 54-26
Some frenetic play by the Raiders on the last there. Plenty of second phase ball but Folau ultimately defuses the kick and sets off for a 30m gain.
Twal and Kamikamica should be back this week while there may be yet another debutante in SG Ball talent Jack Morris.
