Is Simo injured?

Thought he would've just dropped to the bench instead of being omitted altogether....unless Stick thinks he may give Oldy minutes in the pack.

Canberra Raiders milling around in the sheds now after the warm up. Bellamy doing a lot of talking in the Storm room, with the team still in a meeting. Now they're on their feet.

Josh Hodgson doing all the talking in the Raiders shed, and Josh Papalii being embraced by Jarrod Croker and Jordan Rapana as he prepares for his 200th game.

Josh Papalii leads the Raiders onto the field! What a moment! Rapana looking lean and fit.

Now here comes the Storm. Seems to be no bloody cow bell!

The Raiders kick off, we are underway! Didn't get much distance, probably the wind. Storm bomb right on the goal line at the end of the set, and the Raiders struggling to get off the goal line.

2nd min Raiders get a six again late in the count! The set ends with Vunivalu forced to bat the ball dead in goal. Forced line drop out!

Clearly the wind is a huge advantage for the Storm, the line drop out sailed over the Raiders' heads and it went 70 metres.

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

4th min TRY RAIDERS to Jordan Rapana! That's amazing! They shift it wide on the last and great offload from Croker sees Rapana unmarked! Rapana is on the left wing, for those who came in late! Croker out wide... gets the conversion!

Raiders 6-0

8th min Rapana stripped of the ball legally. Storm attack in the red zone. Cotric forced to bat a ball dead, saved a try! Storm force a line drop out on Canberra.
