Some tough comments. The team played very well today, all of them. Well done.

MATCH REPORT: Determined Canberra Raiders just short in Holden Cup finals clash with Wests Tigers

A determined Canberra Raiders' Holden Cup side has just fallen short in the Elimination Final today at the Sydney Football Stadium, defeated 24-22 by the Wests Tigers.

Finishing the season in eighth position, the Raiders had defeated the fifth placed Wests Tigers twice during the regular season.

Tevita Pangai Jnr was outstanding for the Raiders in a losing side. The Raiders led for long periods, but were overtaken by the Wests Tigers late in the match. A try to Kalani Going in the 78th minute gave the Raiders some final hope, but there simply wasn't enough time left in the match.

Canberra kicked only one from five goal attempts, while the Wests Tigers were just slightly better, converting two from five. It proved the difference.

Wests Tigers 24 (Marshall-King 2, Martin, Seve, Mapesone tries; Woods 2/5, Marshall-King 0/1 goals) defeated Canberra Raiders 22 (Booth 2, Williams, Lewis, Going tries; Woolford 1/4, McGrath 0/1 goals)

Canberra Raiders' under-20s season over after brave defeat to Wests Tiger

A huge performance from up-and-coming forward Tevita Pangai failed to prevent the Canberra Raiders' under-20s season ending with a 24-22 elimination final loss to Wests Tigers on Sunday.

"We looked nervous and played nervous," coach Mick Mantelli said. "Eleven sets of football and we didn't capitalise on any of those. We just need to be better than that."

WESTS TIGERS 24 (Jeremy Marshall-King 2, Te Maire Martin, Veiru Mapesone, Marion Seve tries; Matthew Woods 2 goals) bt CANBERRA RAIDERS 22 (Cameron Booth 2, Jack Williams, Lachlan Lewis, Kalani Going tries; Zac Woolford goal) at Allianz Stadium on Sunday.

Great season from the boys. A half decent goal kicker and they are playing next week.

Just on TPJ, great talent and way too good for the competition around him. Every time he got the ball something was going to happen, but he has plenty of errors in him which put his teammates under pressure yesterday and some of those brain farts led directly to Tigpies tries.

Woolford has kicked well all year, just an off day with the boot. Probably nerves.

Yeah probably, that's why the tears flowed and flowed and flowed and continued to flow.
1/5 ain't great and the young bloke took it hard at full time.

Even with all the errors and missed conversions we still had enough ball on the tiger's line in that first half to win 2 games. Tigers beat us with that first half defence.
