NYC Match Preview: Raiders v Knights

The Canberra Raiders NYC team will be out for revenge when they return to GIO Stadium this week to face the undefeated Newcastle Knights.

“Obviously we need more urgency, a little bit more ticker. We have to want to be there and to play, it’s all about representing the Canberra jersey to a high standard and not taking it for granted,” captain Patrick Mago said.

“We've got to get one back from them [the Knights, after a loss to Newcastle in Round 2], especially now we are at home. We aren’t going to go out there and take them lightly, but we feel like they stole it at the end of the game last time. It’s going to be a good game and everyone is looking forward to trying to get the win this week.”

“Jared McIlwrick has been great [amongst players to impress so far in 2014], Jack Creith and Hursty (Lachlan Hurst) have been good down that left side and whatever they’re doing has been working. Mitchy (Barnett) has been good since coming back from suspension and Jules (Webley) has been good, but there are a number of others I could praise.”

[The Greenhouse]

We're underway and...

1st min TRY RAIDERS to Andrew Heffernan! No conversion from Patrick Mago from relatively easy position..

Raiders 4-0

[The Greenhouse]

4th min TRY KNIGHTS to Josh Birch, after the Raiders fail to take a bomb to their line. No conversion Donovan.

Knights 6-4

[The Greenhouse]

14th min TRY KNIGHTS to front rower Jah Pakau, with the Raiders defence not numbering up. Converted Bryce Donovan.

Knights 10-4

[The Greenhouse]

16th min TRY KNIGHTS with the Raiders mishandling the kick, Chance Peni dives on it in the corner. No conversion from the sideline.

Knights 14-4

[Raiders666]

Wow this is hard to watch

[Raiders666]

A distinct lack of fire power out wide this year..

[The Greenhouse]

20th min TRY KNIGHTS to hooker Danny Levi under the posts, poor defence from the Raiders, and mounting cost.

Knights 20-4

[Dr Zaius]

I'm not sure that a lack of fire power is the problem. I'd be more concerned about the fact that they seem to have forgotten how to tackle.

[Raiders666]

Yeah true that....Knights are making 70 m every set

[Thombre]

That escalated quickly...

[The Greenhouse]

25th min TRY RAIDERS to Matt Frawley and a bit of individual brilliance. Good stepping. Converted Scott Doyle.

Knights 20-10

[The Greenhouse]

28th min TRY KNIGHTS to Danny Levi. Follows a puzzling decision from the video ref to not back up the on field referee for a stripping call... Which gave the Knights a scrum feed. Converted.

Knights 26-10

[The Greenhouse]

31st min TRY KNIGHTS to Joseph Tapine. Some terrible defence from Canberra in the lead up. No conversion.

Knights 30-10

[The Greenhouse]

34th min TRY RAIDERS to Ricky Garard, who runs 60 m up the middle to score. No conversion Scott Doyle.

Knights 30-14

39 the min TRY RAIDERS to Jack Creith in the corner on the back of a repeat set. Good backline move. No conversion.

Knights 30
Raiders 18

HALF TIME

[Raidersrawesome]

Defence is horrible , when we get the ball we can score .

[T_R]

Raiders were dreadful in that, but if they'd not missed those easy kicks, it'd be a very close game.

[The Greenhouse]

Raiders kick off in the second half. We are back underway!

[The Greenhouse]

42nd min TRY KNIGHTS after the Raiders again fail to take the bomb. Sione MataUtai the scorer in the corner. Converted.

Knights 36-18

[Lucky]

at this rate the best thing we can hope for is a 98 all draw

[Raiders666]

I take it it's pretty windy out there?

[Raidersrawesome]

Great runs from Barnett and then Mago

[The Greenhouse]

47th min TRY RAIDERS to Patrick Mago, big run and he goes over. Scott Doyle converts. It's so windy, the tents are blowing away at the end of the field...

Knights 36-24

[edwahu]

What's with Pangai playing prop? Seems a waste.

[Raidersrawesome]

Back in this

[The Greenhouse]

58th min TRY RAIDERS a double to Patrick Mago out wide. No conversion. Lots of goals missed for Canberra in the conditions.

Knights 36-28

[The Greenhouse]

62nd min TRY RAIDERS to Andrew Heffernan. Knights challenging. This is a try, but who knows what they will see... NO TRY.

[Raidersrawesome]

It was a knock on

[edwahu]

Weren't we going to send some players to Mounties? Not sure this is doing them much good.

[The Greenhouse]

63rd min TRY KNIGHTS to Joseph Tapine. That video ref call... huge momentum stopper, and a big turnaround with this try. Converted.

Knights 42-28

[Raiders666]

They got the call right...it was a clear knock on

[edwahu]

Pretty embarrassing try, even for under 20s
