NYC Match Preview: Raiders v Storm

The Canberra Raiders NYC team will look to get their season back on track when they face the Melbourne Storm this Sunday at GIO Stadium.

“We just have to go back to the basics, there’s no special fixes at the moment, and we’re all in this together so we just need to pull together, work hard and go from there,” coach Mick Mantelli said

The team will also be without Tevita Pangai Junior this week, who has been suspended for two weeks following a late shoulder charge in the Knights game.

“I spoke to Tevita this week, and he realises what he did was wrong. Nothing came out of it so I couldn’t see the point in him doing it. Sometimes I forget how young he is, but I said to him we’ve just got to stick together and work at it and we will come out the other side a lot better for it.”

[The Greenhouse]

Canberra Raiders kick off and we are underway! Mistake from the kick off for the Storm! Line drop out!

[The Greenhouse]

1st min Bateman nearly over for the Raiders, but the pass is called forward.

[Manbush]

**** Bateman playing prop today

[The Greenhouse]

4th min penalty to Storm for ruck infringement, puts them into the red zone!

TRY STORM to front rower Rhys Kennedy. Just poor defence on the line there from Canberra. Converted from close to the posts to Cameron Hunt.

Storm 6-0

[The Greenhouse]

7th min Storm knock on, Raiders scrum feed 40 out from the try line.

[BrisbaneRaider]

Bateman has played plenty of prop coming through the grades, I don't think he'll change the way he plays at all. If it means Scott Doyle gets a consistent spot in the team I'm all for it.

[The Greenhouse]

9th min TRY RAIDERS A barnstorming run by Scott Doyle and he scores in the corner! No conversion from the sideline by Mago.

Storm 6-4

[Raidersrawesome]

We do need a proper kicker .

[The Greenhouse]

13th min TRY RAIDERS to Jake Wheeler in the corner! It's off the back of a penalty for holding down. The Storm have been doing it all day! No conversion from Mago from out wide.

Raiders 8-6

19th min Canberra Raiders grubber forces a line drop out on the Storm. Raiders with repeat set in the red zone.

[The Greenhouse]

21st min TRY RAIDERS to winger Lachlan Hurst in the corner, on the end of a beautiful backline move. No conversion Scott Doyle from the sideline.

Raiders 12-6

[The Greenhouse]

23rd min Schubach nearly sets Hurst away down the sideline, but just steps on the sideline 40m out.

[The Greenhouse]

25th min Great goal line defence from the Raiders holds the Storm out! Raiders rucking it out, before making a break down the right side. Ends with a scrum to the Storm on their own 10m line.

[The Greenhouse]

28th min Huge defence from Bateman and Webley force an error from the Storm! Raiders attack the red zone, but it comes unstuck 5m out.

[The Greenhouse]

34th min TRY RAIDERS Incredible try, after winger Wheeler passes to a Storm player... who then loses it... and Josh Baker goes over! Doyle misses the conversion.

Raiders 16-6

[The Greenhouse]

38th min Hurst nearly away again, but steps on the sideline near half way. Followed by a break to the Storm from the scrum... but Melbourne lose it first tackle.

[The Greenhouse]

68th min Raiders have a scrum feed 10m out, after the Storm knock down a pass. Good break Garard in the lead up.

[The Greenhouse]

70th min Raiders bomb a try with Wheeler unmarked on the wing, the final pass not good enough, and it goes out over the sideline.

[The Greenhouse]

72nd min Canberra nearly score again, running it on the final tackle, but they are brought down just 1m out.

[The Greenhouse]

74th min TRY RAIDERS to Andrew Hefernan! It's fortunately near the posts! Mago to attempt the kick. HE GETS IT!
