Oh we have another video ref for the Raiders. Just give it now.

Wighton just runs away off an attacking kick from Parramatta. I may resort to making not overly amusing comments about the Eels from here.

Don't forget to stay with us after Full Time - we'll have the deciding game for the Minor Premiership. North Queensland vs Manly from Townsville!
Canberra Raiders 20-6
There's not a lot to say. Parramatta are surrendering their season without so much as a whimper. They don't look like a team who could play finals football next weekend - and if they did they might as well forfeit. A shame for Eels fans who've had to put up with a lot, however the change in Canberra has been astonishing and hopefully it continues.
Canberra Raiders 20-6
Half time, and the Eels finals hopes are in absolute tatters. They'll need a huge effort to even be a chance from here.

Penalty goal attempt by Jarrod Croker successful.
Very very harsh call on Parra. Radradra knocks a bomb backwards and the Eels are pinged for being offside in recovering it. Dud call, but Croker lands the two.

Canberra comfortably hold out - Tupou fields a bomb on the last. Laurie Daley says the Eels have "bugger all" room.

It's Ricky Stuart looking to continue the rip-roaring Canberra resurgence they've been on to end the season against the team he groomed into a finals contender. I'd think we're in for a good one. Parramatta are awfully close to returning to the finals - everything is falling into place for them. Stay with us!
