A fairly solid first half of footy tonight with both teams committed to the task at hand. Brisbane eventually got on top in the battle of field position and Canberra seemed to drop their heads a bit after back to back tries from Copley. The Raiders will need to come out firing in the 2nd half to get back in this one. Ben Hunt controlled things nicely for Brisbane. After eventually earning points with a relentless aerial raid, he then changed tactics by kicking to the corners and making Canberra work it out from their line. Stay tuned for the 2nd half
