NYC Match Preview: Raiders v Knights

The Canberra Raiders will head into this Saturday’s match against the Newcastle Knights with confidence from a hard fought 48-40 victory over the top of table Brisbane Broncos.

A player who has been highly impressive over the last couple of weeks has been Morgan Boyle, the son of David Boyle who played in 117 games for the Green Machine from 1991-97.

“No one is getting too far ahead of themselves, we’ve just been working hard at training and now we’re just waiting for the Knights game to see what we can do against them,” Boyle said.

“They gave us a bit of a touch up in the in the trials, so I’m expecting they’ll be coming out the same way. We just have to beat them physically in the middle and give them nothing.

[Northern Raider]

Hopefully Luke Bateman came trough last week's game OK.

[The Greenhouse]

The teams are coming out onto the field now, Canberra Raiders first up led by Luke Bateman. Now the Newcastle Knights. Newcastle to kick off. We are underway!

[The Greenhouse]

3rd min It's great to see the sons of former Raiders Simon Woolford (Zac) and David Boyle (Morgan) in the green again today, and they are two very good prospects. Two good sets from Canberra to start the match. Good metres and good kicks for territory.

[The Greenhouse]

4th min Raiders ruled to have knocked on Chevi Ellis just can't quite handle the off load from Tevita Pangai Jnr. Knights scrum near their own 40m line.

[The Greenhouse]

6th min Knights throw a lot of attack at the Raiders line, but a second kick to the in goal is defused by Canberra, and it is followed up by a penalty to the men in green. They attack on the 40m line, but drop it on the first tackle! Brett Solomon drops it cold.

[The Greenhouse]

8th min Knights kick to the Raiders goal line again, but they knock on. Raiders ruck it out from the 10m line.

[The Greenhouse]

10th min Raiders penalised for "crowding" in the ruck. Newcastle attack from just 30m out. TRY KNIGHTS to Fuaimamao Uta in the corner, one of the passes in the lead up looked clearly forward. No conversion from the sideline.

Knights 4-0

[Northern Raider]

The first 10 mins has been played almost exclusively in Raiders half. Finally told with the knight crossing out wide.

[The Greenhouse]

13th min Knights get another penalty for the Raiders being off side, but they do not find touch. The Raiders make good metres, but Chevi Ellis produces a knock on 40m out from the Knights line.

[The Greenhouse]

15th min Knights get another penalty, this time for a strip, and they go on attack in the red zone again. TRY KNIGHTS to Bryce Donovan. Overlap on the Raiders' right, they slide and Donovan just steps back inside. Brock Lamb gets the conversion.

Knights 10-0

[The Greenhouse]

19th min Tevita Pangai Jnr is tackled out over the sideline, just 10m out from the try line. Referee should have called held as he was lifted off the ground. Lachlan Croker nearly went over on the other side of the field, but was held out through great Knights' defence.

[The Greenhouse]

22nd min Canberra finally get a penalty, the kick for touch puts the Radiers five metres into the opposition half.

[Raiders666]

Great ball

[The Greenhouse]

23rd min TRY RAIDERS to Lachlan Hurst. Great pass from Lachlan Lewis, cuts out the centre and finds the winger with space up the sideline. Zac Woolford cannot convert from the sideline.

Knights 10-4

[The Greenhouse]

26th min TRY RAIDERS to Cameron Booth. Tevita Pangai Jnr makes a great bust up the middle and the Raiders left side takes over again, Hurst runs up the sideline and passes back inside. Zac Woolford converts.

Knights 10
Raiders 10

[The Greenhouse]

29th min Raiders kick down the touch line from Lachlan Croker unfortunately goes dead in goal. Seven tackle set for the Knights from the 20m line.

[dubby]

Lewis looks good. Heaps of ability

[The Greenhouse]

30th min Knights error gives the Raiders possession just inside Knights territory, and it is followed up by a penalty for a ruck infringement. But the Raiders attack breaks down on the try line, with Brenko Lee knocking on.

[The Greenhouse]

31st min Counter attack from the Knights produces big metres, but they throw the ball out over the sideline, just 20m out from the try line.

[The Greenhouse]

32nd min Brenko Lee offloads, the Knights knock on... and the Knights are challenging the ruling. It's a clear knock on from Newcastle. Decision stands. Raiders scrum on their own 40m line.

[The Greenhouse]

Tevita Pangai Jnr is having another wow of a game.

[The Greenhouse]

34th min Raiders making a captain's challenge... the referee says it is a knock on. Lachlan Lewis grubbers ahead... It looked for all the world a try on the video, but they deny it, saying Tevita Pangai Jnr knocks on.

[Raiders666]

Knock on??? ****

[Raidersrawesome]

TPJ and Lee need to play for Mounties

[-GD-]

I seriously didnt see a knock on there

[Raiders666]

I seriously didnt see a knock on there

I did....just not from the Raiders

[-GD-]

I seriously didnt see a knock on there

Pangai definitely touched it after the Knights guy dropped it but he regathered before it hit the ground

[-GD-]

TPJ and Lee need to play for Mounties

Agreed, no idea why they are playing 20s

[The Greenhouse]

38th min Lachlan Hurst has an injury problem, but he's back on his feet and returning to the wing. Knights attack from 40m out.

[Manchild]

Just turned on the game. TPJ is wearing the number 8 but seems to be playing on the edge.

[The Greenhouse]

39th min TRY KNIGHTS Very lucky try, off a kick rebound. Jake McNamara the scorer. The Raiders will be very unlucky to go in trailing at half time. Brock Lamb converts.

Knights 16-10

HALF TIME
