2015 Holden Cup: Finals Wk 1 V Wests Tigers

[The Greenhouse]

68th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to Marshall King. Sad for Canberra, as they have shown so much grit, guts and determination today. Woods gets the conversion.

Wests Tigers 20-12

Whats this booth character got against tackling?

[Northern Raider]

McGrath caught out badly there. Followed the support player back inside and ignored the ball carrier.

[Raiders666]

Whats this booth character got against tackling?

That was embarrassing

[Northern Raider]

Whats this booth character got against tackling?

He was marking his centre. Had to change late as McGrath left his man. A bit harsh blaming Booth.

[The Greenhouse]

69th min Huge hit from Booth and Tatola is knocked out as a result of a head clash. Should be a Raiders scrum feed. The Wests Tigers put in a captain's challenge for the knock on. Over-ruled. Canberra scrum 20m out.

[Raiders666]

That's how you tackle...where was that effort 1 min ago

[Raiders666]

Knock back

Yes really. That is exactly what happened. Not an opinion. Booth missed the tackled but had to commit too late.

[simo]

When the option that had to be made was tackling the half, he went in half assed with arms not shoulder

Booth still missed a simple 1 on 1....

[Northern Raider]

Raiders hit back! They showed a lot more energy with the ball that set.

[The Greenhouse]

71st min TRY RAIDERS to Jack Williams! The kick to come! Zac Woolford misses the goal again! That's eight points missed for Canberra.

Wests Tigers 20-16

[Raiders666]

Is it windy or something?

Not going to explain it again.

[Raiders666]

Rocks and Diamond for TPJ

[The Greenhouse]

73rd min Stray pass to Booth and he knocks on, poor pass from Tevita Pangai Jnr. Wests Tigers scrum about 35m out.

[Northern Raider]

4 tries. 0 goals. Not hard to spot why we're losing.

[simo]

Far out. The defence is horrible

[The Greenhouse]

74th min TRY WESTS TIGERS to Mapasone. Te Maire Martin threw a blatant forward pass in the previous ruck... but that looks like it now. No conversion from Woods.

Wests Tigers 24-16

[Northern Raider]

Think we've seen why Raiders haven't rushed TPJ into first grade. Needs to take the brainfarts out of his game.

[Botman]

TBH after conceeding about 250 points in the final 6 weeks of the competition i didnt think we really deserved to be here to begin with

[simo]

Think we've seen why Raiders haven't rushed TPJ into first grade. Needs to take the brainfarts out of his game.

hes in a team where they kind of need someone to do that bit extra. Wont be expected of him in firsts

[The Greenhouse]

76th min Raiders fail to regather the short kick off.

[The Greenhouse]

78th min Hickson held up over the line! But the set ends with Woolford losing the ball close to the line trying to plant it.

Not sure thats how the coaches see it.

[Raiders666]

Try

[The Greenhouse]

80th min Going to video, referee says no try to Canberra under the posts. It's stripped, Lachlan Lewis dispossessed. It should be play on. Going scores. TRY CANBERRA.

[The Greenhouse]

80th min CONVERSION RAIDERS to Woolford from in front. Just one from five goals today.

Wests Tigers 24-22

FULL TIME

Bad luck guys, you showed a lot of guts, grit and determination today.

Thanks for following, we'll be back next week with the Canberra Raiders affiliate, Mounties, in the NSW Cup Preliminary Final.

[edwahu]

They had a real dig today, it was one of their best efforts this year.

They probably should have played Brenko if they wanted to win, TPJ had to carry them in attack pretty much alone.

[Northern Raider]

Woodford knows his goal kicking cost us.

[Raiders666]

Good effort...lack of any real composure or patience in the attacking 20 cost us big time

[simo]

I thought our right edge players attacked well.

[edwahu]

I thought our right edge players attacked well.

Yeah Williams looked good today.
