Sirens sounds

[Walt Flanigan]

Geez, did it the hard way. Good win to have under the belt.

[Raidersrawesome]

A very good win

I don't think I've seen a more impressive performance from Ahern

5 points clear

Minor premiership

[BrisbaneRaider]

Game over. That's one of the most dominant performances I've ever seen from a single player, Ahearn was in everything today.

[Irwinfletch]

Good win. Ahearn the complete player, deserves a test run in the 1sts next year.

Ahearn must be red hot favorite for NYC POTY now.
Amazing this team had its best three squad players out for big parts of the year.

MATCH REPORT: Ahearn and Reuben combine to consolidate Holden Cup Canberra Raiders in first place

The Canberra Raiders Holden Cup side has advanced five points clear on top of the NYC ladder after defeating the second placed Roosters 38-32 at Allianz Stadium.

In a tightly fought contest, it was the brilliant combination of fullback Jack Ahearn and winger Jonathon Reuben that proved the difference in the end.

Through a series of sublime passes and precision kicks, Ahearn sent Reuben over for three of his four tries. While their telepathy proved uncanny, Reuben still had a lot of work to do to finish off the tries and proved to all why he is one of the competition’s most dangerous finishers.

Along with his four tries, Reuben ran for 216 metres, made eight tackle breaks and four line breaks.

It was Ahearn, who was the lynchpin of the victory. He finished the match with four try assists, four line break assists and a well-deserved try of his own.
