MATCH REPORT: Holden Cup Canberra Raiders bounce back

After suffering two heavy defeats during the last fortnight, the Canberra Raiders Holden Cup side secured their 11th win of the season by defeating the Tigers 36-34 after talented halfback Tre Williams slotted a penalty goal after the full-time siren.

Coach Mick Mantelli was happy that the side could get past a couple of terrible losses and rally together towards the end of the game and come away with the two points.

“It’s hard to come back after those types of losses, they leave mental scars but hopefully this win is a stepping stone for us to go further and further,” Mantelli said.

“We’re not that bad a team and that’s what you have to tell the players, you have to sit them down and tell them listen this is good stuff that we do. When we have a couple of tough weeks you have to find a way to get out of it and look to the future and not worry about the past.”
