Brenko Lee and Batemann off to Logan?

[greeneyed]

Thomas Cronan, Cleveland McGhie and Lachlan Lewis promoted from this year's SG Ball line up in the starting team; Lachlan Croker, Jack Williams and Ben Maguire named on an extended bench.

Dylan McGrath replaces Trent Schubach at hooker.

Andrew Heffernan is out with a knee injury; Matthew Frawley moves from five-eighth to halfback.

Luke Bateman and Brenko Lee will play for Souths Logan Magpies.

[BrisbaneRaider]

Looking forward to seeing how Lewis looks, Croker too. I think it's a much better strategy to get some young playmakers in the team and have this as their learning year while Bateman, Lee and the likes get a chance in NSW/QLD Cup so they can have a real crack at winning the U20's comp in the 2-3 years after this one.

NYC Match Preview: Raiders v Panthers

The Canberra Raiders NYC team returns to GIO Stadium Canberra this Sunday to take on the Penrith Panthers, with a host of fresh faces making their NYC debuts.

Coach Mick Mantelli had warned the squad that a lack of performance would see players lose their spot, Mantelli admitted that the 54-0 loss on Saturday was the tipping point in naming the SG ball players.

“It’s the first time I’ve had access to them, if we played better I wouldn’t have put so many in, but the performance was poor, I need something new, something with a bit of energy and excitement.”

Of the changes Jake Wheeler, Trent Schubach and Kilu Pangai have all been dropped from last weekend’s team. Andrew Heffernan will miss with a knee injury, while Jack Creith returns from an ankle injury.

[VictorTheViking]

Heffernan injured?

[The Greenhouse]

4th min Canberra withstands an early challenge in the red zone from the Panthers after Penrith got a repeat set.

[BrisbaneRaider]

Heffernan injured?

Yep, knee last week.

[The Greenhouse]

6th min Raiders nearly go over for a four pointer but the chaser is ruled off side.

[The Greenhouse]

11th min Canberra withstand another concerted raid in the red zone, with the Panthers kick on the last going dead.

[The Greenhouse]

13th min Penrith knock on over the line, bombing a certain try. There's a captain's challenge but it's overruled.

[Botman]

Hurst scores to open proceedings, nice kick from Frawley, really well weighted

[The Greenhouse]

14th min TRY RAIDERS to Lachlan Hurst, diving on a Matt Frawley grubber. No conversion from the sideline.

Raiders 4-0

[Ultima]

I wasn't going to watch this game based on seeing most of last week but our defence is SOLID... Hopefully they have been training with the first grade side and that defence will be universal.

[VictorTheViking]

Panthers smashed us last time yeah?

[BrisbaneRaider]

Beautiful pass from Lewis leads to a try for McGhie. Both looking good in their first game.

[Botman]

What a delicious ball from Laccie Lewis to put another try on.
That's a good sign for the blood lines!


I like this Brett Soloman, not a Shannon Boyd type where he's so big, looks a more mobile 2014 type of front rower

[Raidersrawesome]

How good does Lewis look

[The Greenhouse]

23rd min TRY RAIDERS to Cleveland McGhie, set up by a great pass from Lachlan Lewis. Converted Patrick Mago.

Raiders 10-0

[-GD-]

Lewis looking the goods, that was a money ball

[DJ89]

How good does Lewis look

I can't wait for him to turn into a superstar and then get poached by the Broncos.

[Botman]

That's such a 20's mistake to make... foot over the line and catch it, don't leave it to chance like that.

[The Greenhouse]

25th min Kickoff from Panthers just bounces inside the dead ball line, forcing Canberra into a line drop out. Penrith held up over the line on the last at the end if the ensuing set!

[Manchild]

I have been waiting to see this game. I want to see how Naden and Geyer go for the Panthers.

And Lewis is having some very nice touches indeed

[Botman]

Quality goal line stop there for this age level

[Botman]

Lachie Croker now takes one off his boot laces! Try!!
Oh boy!

[Manchild]

Jeez there are some big name bloodlines in this game.

[Ultima]

We should be using Croker DNA to make an ultimate footballer.... That family has some footy blood going!

[The Greenhouse]

28th min TRY RAIDERS to Lachlan Croker after the Panthers fullback spills the bomb. Patrick Mago converts fro almost in front.

Raiders 16-0

[baz]

Lewis looking the goods, that was a money ball

X2 he's been great even pretty good in defense. Hey look a lot more focused this week. Let's hope there's some carry over to 1sts

[The Greenhouse]

32nd min TRY PANTHERS to half Sam Scarlett. They finally crack the line after a slew of penalties and lots if possession and territory. Converted Corey Harawira.

Raiders 16-6

[The Greenhouse]

35th min TRY PANTHERS to Peter Tia Tia in the corner. Canberra's defence has been very good, but the scramble wasn't desperate enough in the corner. No conversion.

Raiders 16-10

[Ultima]

A lot of weak penalties were going against us there for stuff they let Penrith get away with, I do find the refs in the under 20's try to "even it up" far too much.... It's under 20's not under 10's, if they can't handle being behind then meh...

And good try, we needed that to stop the bleed!

[Botman]

Raiders hit back via TPJ. Good ball from Frawley and a nice line from TPJ
