2013 Holden Cup: Finals Week 2 V Wests Tigers

[The Greenhouse]

53rd min Long kick from the Tigers, but good run from Reuben gets it to the 20m line.

TRY RAIDERS to Tomarchio!!!!!!!! Barnett makes the break and he passes on the outside to Tomarchio backing up. Cornish converts from in front.

Raiders 36-0

[greeneyedfan]

Nudie run avoided

[Junior]

great to see all the front moving up/ backing up the middle. the last to tries shows that

[julian87]

I tell you what this is a pretty special game from Bateman.

[Captain Punish]

This is beautiful!

[The Greenhouse]

56th min Raiders get six more on a late tackle on their 40m line... and now get a penalty near half way. Canberra attack 40m out.

[The Greenhouse]

57th min Kick to the wing of Kent, and he can't quite take the ball, bats it back in. Ends with a scrum feed to the Wests Tigers on their own 10m line.

[Northern Raider]

Best part about this win is we haven't relied on the usual suspects of Lee, Mago, Pangai and Rueben tearing them apart. It's guys like Bateman, Barnett, Garard etc who have really stepped up. Good signs.

[Junior]

the best thing that Ahearn has been quiet

[Lucky]

tigers been so sloppy today, very unlike them

[The Greenhouse]

60th min Penalty to Wests Tigers gives them a sniff. The set ends with a Brooks bomb to the corner, but Reuben produces a beautiful take.

[The Greenhouse]

61st min Ahearn goes for a 40/20, but the ball just won't go out. Wests Tigers make it to the 30m line in the set, and the kick to the in goal forces the first line drop out on Canberra. Lee penalised for being in front at the line drop as well. And now ANOTHER penalty 5m out against Tomarchio.

[Junior]

every time in hear Tomarchio. i think of tomaccos from the simpsons

[Green eyed Mick]

Just reading the comments but it seems like the Boys have really done a number of the Tigers. Playing with purpose and direction.

Ricky will be loving this. I wonder if he has dropped in to say hi during the week.

would be surprised if he didn't drop in at some stage, would also be surprised if he is not there right now watching the game

[Lucky]

i thought Dave Taylor played for the titans, not the tigers under 20s

[The Greenhouse]

64th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to Santi, pushes through Cornish and then Garard. Rudolph misses, as the conversion attempt hit the upright and bounces back into the field of play.

Raiders 36-4

[Lucky]

oh dear....

[Northern Raider]

Don't think Raiders have had the ball for the last 10 mins.

[Toviii]

oh dear....

What's wrong Lucky?

[The Greenhouse]

67th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to Cherrington. It starts with a blatant forward pass near half way, and it ends with the try under the posts. Rudolph converts.

Raiders 36-10

[Bay53]

[CJ42]

36-10 in the second half and they are only just comin out ^^

[The Greenhouse]

69th min Raiders are switching off. Brooks gets a one on one steal, and Tigers right on attack in the red zone.

[hrundi89]

Gee it's good to see Holden associated with league.

[CJ42]

Brenko lee has had an awful second half, almost worth hooking him

[Lucky]

this is terrible.... not a good way to go into next week.

[The Greenhouse]

70th min TRY WESTS TIGERS Brooks kicks into the in goal and the lock Kazzi follows through and scores near the posts. Converted.

Raiders 36-16

[Northern Raider]

Raiders seriously need to get some football so they can close this out.

[Nick]

Raiders need to get their game faces back on here and finish strong

[edwahu]

No one switches off like this team

[Lucky]

like watching 1st grade all over again

[Nick]

Fantastic effort by Reuben

[The Greenhouse]

72nd min Wests Tigers runaway AGAIN. Brooks looks like he's lost it right before he goes over. Scrum to Canberra 10m out from their own line. The Raiders need to switch back on.

[Aero]

Oh how nice it would be to support a team that can play the whole game without switching off...
