2014 Holden Cup : Rd 16 V Wests Tigers

[The Greenhouse]

45th min Doyle Manga loses the ball in the ruck, 20m out from the try line.

[edwahu]

Not the best debut

[ddp]

Unbeleivable we weren't further back for that dropout.

[The Greenhouse]

50th min Raiders force Wests Tigers into a line drop out... and it has travelled 75 metres in the end. And now Doyle Manga loses it again in the tackle. He makes some big runs, but it's been a very mixed debut for him. Canberra is challenging the call. DECISION STANDS.

[The Greenhouse]

51st min TRY WESTS TIGERS to winger John Tohi in the corner. Canberra cannot defend the Doyle Manga error. Woods conversion attempt is a shocker.

Wests Tigers 22-10

[Please]

Could be an annihilation

[The Greenhouse]

54th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to John Ogden, some stunning passes in the lead up. No stopping the momentum at present. Woods converts.

Wests Tigers 28-10

[The Greenhouse]

57th min Frawley stops a certain try, intercepts a Cherrington pass. Now the Raiders throw away an opportunity, Jono Kent cannot take the pass.

[The Greenhouse]

59th min TRY RAIDERS to Jack Creith. Wests Tigers are challenging, saying there's been a Canberra knock on in the lead up from Hefernan. Very hard to tell if he has. The Tigers certainly knock on, and it goes into the hands of Creith. But does Hefernan knock on first? They have looked at it a million times. DECISION OVERTURNED. NO TRY.

Wests Tigers 28-10

[Raidersrawesome]

Knock on imo

[edwahu]

Surprised it took them that long.

[The Greenhouse]

60th min Lachlan Lewis knocks on 20m out from the Raiders own line. Fortunately Cherrington knocks on at dummy half on the last tackle for the Tigers, just 5m out.

[-TW-]

Wow there's been some awful defence in this game, martins carved up

[ddp]

That was soft.

[PrimetimeRaider]

We need to sign Cherrington

[The Greenhouse]

67th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to Te Maire Martin under the posts. That's the end of the day for Canberra.

Wests Tigers 34-10

[Raidersrawesome]

These 2 teams dont like each other

[Please]

Would like to see it blow up

[The Greenhouse]

70th min There's a dust up, started by some pushing from Cherrington. The Raiders' Ezra Howe has been sin binned for "running in". The Wests Tigers juniors really ought to be taught some more sportsmanship. It's clearly not part of the program there. They're a very niggly team.

TRY WESTS TIGERS to Daniel Rakvin off the back of another penalty, for a hand on the ball. Converted.

Wests Tigers 40-10

[Ultima]

That's pretty pathetic.... The entire Tigers team runs in, gets a warning, one Raiders player runs in, 10 minutes in the bin..... The solution is apparently to use the entire team...

Also pretty harsh a call with that intercept try being overturned.... There was hardly any evidence that he knocked it forward.... The Under 20's team has been really **** over this year....

[Raidersrawesome]

20 threw a punch therefore bin

[Dr Zaius]

Young Frawley looks a good prospect. The Raiders site has him listed as a hooker. He is a local boy which takes homesickness out of the equation, and is attending uni, so likely has some brains.

[bileduct]

20 threw a punch therefore bin

You're making sense. Stop it.

[The Greenhouse]

75th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to Hala Masila. The Raiders cannot hold this big Wests Tigers team with a man in the bin. He scores close to the posts.

Wests Tigers 46-10

[Raidersrawesome]

20 threw a punch therefore bin

You're making sense. Stop it.

I better because thats not normal

[Ultima]

Man that defence is soft.... They must be training with the first grade side....

[The Greenhouse]

79th min Canberra get a line drop out, after bombing it to the try line.

[Raidersrawesome]

Heres the comeback

[The Greenhouse]

80th min TRY RAIDERS to Lachlan Hurst, off a long pass from Hefernan. Two tries today to Hurst. Scott Doyle converts from the sideline after the hooter.

Wests Tigers 46-16

FULL TIME

[-PJ-]

wow kids. plenty to work on.

MATCH REPORT: Tigers blow Raiders away in second half

The Canberra Raiders NYC team has been blown away by the West Tigers 46-16 following a dominant second half display from the Wests Tigers.

The Tigers outscored the Raiders five tries to one with the breeze at their backs in the second half, it was the Raiders inability to take chances inside the Tigers’ half which took away any chance of a fight back with errors riddling Canberra’s play.

It was never going to be an easy game for the Raiders but 57% possession enjoyed from the Tigers and 37 missed tackles all but killed off any chance of a Raiders victory.

Frawley was consistent for the Raiders with limited possessions, but errors in the Tigers defensive half cost the Raiders who were unable to get anything going in the second half.

Next week the Raiders have the bye and will have plenty of time to think about this loss before travelling to the Gold Coast to take on the Titans.

Wests Tigers 46
Tries: Martin 3, Farrell, Tohi, Ogden, Rakvin, Masila; Woods 7 goals

Canberra Raiders 16
Tries: Hurst 2, Frawley; Doyle 2 goals
