Jordan Rapana played it cool letting his opponent take the catch off the high kick then putting him down forcing a changeover on the last tackle.

PENALTY COWBOYS: A Cowboys player gets taken without the ball and that's going to give the Cowboys an easy 2 points

BUNKER: Nick Cotric has crossed for a TRY but Henry Perenara has said NO TRY with his touch judge Jarrod Cole believing Cotric had a foot on the line

Blake Austin kicks for a lot of ground off the kick for touch and it forced his coach to pull out a cry of "duck" or something very similar.... Ball does find touch but tackle 2 the Raiders let up the pressure with a forward pass

Onfield call of a drop out overturned by Steve Chiddy in the bunker with a replay showing Cooper knocking on rather than Leilua shadowing the ball dead

Great wrap around play all comes to an end with a miscommunication between Coote and Winterstein who held off from racing onto a pass from Coote and the Raiders survive again

Touch and go call with Jon Stone ruling no Cowboys knock on in the ingoal and ruling the touch was all Raiders in taking the ball dead - Cowboys on the attack

Things not running smooth for the Cowboys but a JT pinpoint kick nearly comes off but Raiders survive

A visit to Eveleigh for the first time tonight - Henry Perenara says NO TRY to a potential Cowboys try; Checking for a possible Jake Granville knock on

PENALTY COWBOYS: The whole left edge ruled to have been offside by Henry Perenara; Cowboys start their set 40m out from the Raiders line

JT grubbers through but the ball sits up of the point just before the try line and Jack Wighton takes it and safely is in the field of play

REPEAT SET: Michael Morgan kicks through the line mid-count and a great chase from the Cowboys pins Cotric down in his own ingoal
