FULL TIME

Cronulla Sharks 19
Canberra Raiders 18

That's a cruel end to the match for the Green Machine. The Raiders were the better team for a good part of the match.

[NoMan]

Tough loss. I though Cody, Milne and the two starting props were the best. Johnston looks to have a bit about him as well even though he blew a few chances and had that last strip on him.

Not sure if it's just me but stream is awful as well. Lost at least 20 minutes of the game from it dying.

[greeneyed]

The stream not quite as bad for me, but we’re paying for this service. And the interruptions were unacceptable. It’s worse, given this is the only round of Raiders junior reps games that are live streamed.

[The Greenhouse]

The two SG Ball teams are heading back into the sheds after the warm up. A few clouds gathering, it has cooled slightly.

Now here come the Raiders led by captain Owen Hromow. Now the Sharks. The Raiders kick off, we are underway. Don't forget, this match is live streamed via the NSWRL TV app.

[The Greenhouse]

2nd min PENALTY RAIDERS Sharks infringe the new downtown interpretation at the kick.

[The Greenhouse]

3rd min Owen Hromow held up over the line. The Sharks magically require all their trainers on the field. The kick on the last in the red zone from Keahn Skipps is easily defused by Cronulla.

[The Greenhouse]

5th min PENALTY RAIDERS for holding down Bailey Nash in the ruck.

[The Greenhouse]

6th min Xavier Cacciotti goes for a trademark try from dummy half, but he's held up over the line. The kick on the last goes dead in the corner.

[The Greenhouse]

8th min ERROR RAIDERS from Hromow and the Sharks attack from 40 metres out. The set ends with a kick and the Raiders concede a line drop out.

[The Greenhouse]

10th min The Sharks run the ball on the last tackle but die with it, a few metres from the try line.

[The Greenhouse]

12th min TRY RAIDERS to winger Izayah Petricevich. Gets a four pointer in the corner on debut. Good run and pass from Skipps to set it up. Brayden Darmody is on the sideline... and the kick is beautiful!

Raiders 6-0

[The Greenhouse]

14th min PENALTY RAIDERS on an early tackle for lying on the tackled player. The Raiders attack from half way.
