NYC Match Preview: Raiders v Tigers

Following a great team performance last week, the Canberra Raiders NYC team will need to improve yet again when they travel to Campbelltown Stadium to take on the Wests Tigers.

The win last week kept the young Raiders in the hunt for a finals spot where they currently sit in 11th spot just one win outside the eight. However if the boys want to prove they are any sort of legitimate finals threat these are the sides that the team will need to beat.

Their opponent the Wests Tigers will come into the game off the back of five consecutive wins which will provide a much more difficult task then last week’s game against the Bulldogs.

Canberra should have no problems matching the Tigers in attack where they have outscored their 5th placed counterparts 399 to 362 for the season. But it is the defence that coach Mick Mantelli will be keen to see the side continue to improve.

Welcome to our coverage of today's Holden Cup clash between the Canberra Raiders and Wests Tigers. Some late changes on the bench for Canberra. Blue skies but windy at Campbelltown Stadium, positively balmy compared to Canberra this week!

[The Greenhouse]

Raiders out on the field, they kick off, we are underway in the first half! Good first set from the Wests Tigers, making it over the half way, but the kick on the last is out on the full.

[The Greenhouse]

3rd min Canberra Raiders force Wests Tigers into a line drop out, good grubber from Matt Frawley. They get a repeat set. Ricky Garard knocks on at dummy half, however, undoing the good work.

[The Greenhouse]

5th min Raiders force the ball loose in a great tackle, but are penalised for being inside the 10m. Gives Wests Tigers a big chance in the Raiders half. The set ends with a forward pass to Wests Tigers winger John Ogden just 5m from the line.

[Matt]

Heffernan to FB is interesting, esp after playing half most of the yr. I wonder if Ricky reads anything on here.
Garard back to 9. Is Garard the new Cronin? Can play 1, 6 and 9.

[The Greenhouse]

10th min Wests Tigers play the ball to no one, Hefernan dives on it, but is ruled not to be square. Tough call. Gives the Wests Tigers another shot in the red zone. The Tigers are very difficult to put down in the tackle, they seem more physically developed than the Canberra team, bigger, stronger and more wiry.

TRY WESTS TIGERS to Te Maire Martin. Too easy in the end, off the back two penalties in a row. Matthew Woods converts.

Wests Tigers 6-0

[The Greenhouse]

15th min Wests Tigers causing Canberra all sorts of problems, Martin now held up in the corner.

[BrisbaneRaider]

Heffernan to FB is interesting, esp after playing half most of the yr. I wonder if Ricky reads anything on here.
Garard back to 9. Is Garard the new Cronin? Can play 1, 6 and 9.

The team was awfully balanced for the first half of the year since there were no genuine halves in the team. Once Croker and Lewis finished SG Ball we suddenly had two good halves so now Heffernan can go back to his best position at fullback.

[The Greenhouse]

17th min TRY RAIDERS to Matt Frawley. The Wests Tigers fall for a huge dummy from Frawley and he just goes through the line from 10m out. Scott Doyle converts from out wide.

[Raidersrawesome]

Nice try

Halfback holding the ball out in both hands causes the defence to hold off

[The Greenhouse]

19th min Jono Kent ruled to have knocked on from the kick off. Wests Tigers scrum just 15m out from the try line.

[-TW-]

Where's the defence..

[The Greenhouse]

21st min Wests Tigers grubber on the last and Lachlan Lewis is ruled to have knocked on near the line.

TRY WESTS TIGERS, first play off the scrum, to Mason Farrell in the corner. Woods converts. Canberra have the benefit of the wind, and need to be in front at half time.

Wests Tigers 12-6

[edwahu]

I can cop the bad defense with this side as it's packed with Ball players and not physically up to it yet. They will be very strong next year IMO.

[-TW-]

Hursts a great finisher

[dubby]

Bloody good try

[Please]

Frawley impresses me more and more each match.

[The Greenhouse]

26th min TRY RAIDERS to winger Lachlan Hurst, good work from Frawley and Kent in the lead up. Scott Doyle misses the goal from the sideline.

Wests Tigers 12-10

[The Greenhouse]

30th min Garard goes for a 40/20 but the kick is out on the full. Wests Tigers attack, but they drop it on the first tackle. They are challenging the decision, checking for a strip. They can't call that a strip. DECISION STANDS. Loose carry.

[edwahu]

Good call by the refs. Exactly what a loose carry should be.

[The Greenhouse]

31st min Raiders receive a penalty for a dangerous tackle on Brett Solomon, but Canberra cannot take advantage, loose pass near the try line.

[The Greenhouse]

34th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to Te Maire Martin, Liolevave makes the line break, through some poor defence. Woods converts from in front.

Wests Tigers 18-10

[The Greenhouse]

39th min Wests Tigers forced into a line drop out, good kick from Hefernan.

[edwahu]

Anyone got info on Doyle-Manga?

[The Greenhouse]

40th min Raiders going for a captain's challenge after the siren. It's no try... Barnett grubbers, and he follows through but cannot ground it. It's placed on the boot of a Wests Tigers player and he kicks it away.

HALF TIME

[greeneyed]

Queensland player from Tweed/Gold Coast, has come via the Knights by the looks, was part of their 2014 NYC squad.

[edwahu]

Thanks.

[The Greenhouse]

Second half is underway, the Wests Tigers kick off!

[edwahu]

That breeze is nuts
