YES

Canberra Raiders 12-4

BUNKER - Try to Croker in the corner?

ANOTHER ERROR. Luke drops a bad offload. The Warriors are not controlled anymore. They look like they are trying too hard and look like they are 20 down and trying to run down the lead.

Sezer with a bad kick and the Raiders blow that chance.

A penalty against Austin. The game is very much in the balance.

No try, but good effort by Tapine to almost keep it in.

Solid start from both sides to start this half.

The Warriors have been very good but that error by Leuluai has swung momentum!

Surprisingly low scoring so far.

Your stock standard start so far here at Canberra. Not too expansive yet.

Canberra are out and we are off here at GIO Stadium!

Warriors coming out now, coming from Perth to NZ and to Canberra. A lot of travel.

I'll back Canberra in today. They could be due for a big performance and seeing the Warriors' inconsistencies, a 30-40 point buffer wouldn't shock. But Canberra have been a bit inconsistent at times too, and with a Top 8 spot on the line the Warriors have as many reasons to win this one. In a tight one, I'll opt for Canberra by a field goal, 35 points to 34. Either way, good luck tipping this.

For the home side, Adam Clydsdale makes his Raiders debut and will start on the bench, replacing Paul Vaughan. Sia Soliola also moves from the bench to the starting team, swapping with Junior Paulo. The Warriors are 1-17, but it remains to be seen how Tui Lolohea is used today. He is too good for the bench.

Hi and welcome to League Unlimited's Live Update of the clash between the Raiders and Warriors. A big one today with Top 8 spots on the line as we near the finals for the 2016 season! Penrith's 31-12 win over Brisbane last night means the Warriors need a win today to leap back into the 8 whilst Canberra will have the chance to nab a spot in the Top 4. All makes for a great game with a lot to play for!
