Raiders lead Warriors 6 - 20 Raiders
79min

Adam Keighran drops it in the tackle around the same area of the field as last time and Canberra will have their last set of the game you'd think

Jarrod Croker is caught trying to run it on the last and it'll be Warriors ball. Corey Horsburgh is leaving the field for an HIA

Raiders lead Warriors 4 - 16 Raiders
75min

Going upstairs for a possible penalty try! Kodi Nikorima was obviously held back by George Williams and looked pretty certain that he was going to score. On field referee sent it up as a try so looks like the Warriors will get on the board

75min

Another penalty awarded to the Warriors who lead the penalty count 10-4. They have 6 minutes to avoid being the first side since Annondale over 100 years ago to start the season with back to back scoreless matches

67min

Both Eliesa Katoa and Joseph Tapine have passed their HIA's

67min

Adam Blair drops it cold, it really hasn't been his day. Raiders will have it on their 40

66min

Just like that the Warriors are on the attack after the Raiders cough it up

65min

Canberra now have the ball at halfway on the third after an average set from the Warriors

64min

The crash ball on the last taken by Dunamis Lui is well handled by the Warriors, they face an uphill battle to get upfield

61min

Raiders create an overlap but the big cutout pass from Williams is correctly ruled to have gone forward

Blake Green attempts the 40/20 early in the tackle count but it doesn't come off with Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad cleaning it up on the 10 metre line.

49min

Warriors effort in defence just isn't there and the Raiders make 70-odd metres from the set off the kickoff. They really need someone to roll their sleeves up and make a solid run out of trouble here

48min

Huge run from Siliva Havili to start the set for the Raiders

48min

Conversion: Raiders
Attempted by Jarrod Croker.

Croker swings it across the face and the score remains 16-0 Raiders

Raiders lead Warriors 0 - 16 Raiders
47min

Try: Raiders
Scored by Bailey Simonsson. Kick to come.

Try for Bailey Simonsson as easy as you like. Croker did well to sum up the 4 on 1 overlap and the floodgates could open very easily here. Kick from the sideline coming up

Raiders lead Warriors 0 - 16 Raiders
47min

Horrible from Blair as he drops it cold and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad charges upfield and links up with Scott. Warriors are shot defensively here, Raiders on the attack

43min

Try: Raiders

42min

Raiders getting the better field position early here as two strong runs are followed by a penalty. They'll start this set just after halfway

41min

Both sides with a good set to start, the Raiders in particular showing a lot of energy in the way they carried the ball

40min

Back underway and this time it's the Raiders getting first use of the ball

40min

Teams are back on the field ahead of the second 40. Both sides will want to improve their completion rate and the Warriors will want to take advantage of their superior field position. They are still yet to score a point in this 2020 NRL season

40min

Half time here and an underwhelming end as the Warriors lose it and the Raiders die with the ball. Raiders lead 6-0 going into the break

PENALTY WARRIORS! Bizarre scenes as the Warriors were slow to pick it up from dummy half and Hodgson dove on the ball but the ref was having none of it

38min

Iosia Soliola hs been put on report for the high shot on Blair

38min

Adam Blair manages to get a penalty for his side with Iosia Soliola again giving it away with a high shot. Warriors will have one last roll of the dice here

34min

Siliva Havili is out there now and he makes a good run from dummy half before Hodgson kicks early and finds touch. Warriors will get the ball 20 metres out from their line

33min

Raiders defending well here, Warriors have only been able to make 10-odd metres off the first 3 tackles

32min

Scott passes it forward to Cotric and he's not happy with the touchy but it was definitely the right call. This time it's the Warriors with the scrum feed on the 30

31min

Iosia Soliola is out there now for the Raiders

29min

An early kick on the 3rd from Chanel Harris-Tavita inside the 40 and he finds touch but not over the 20 metre line. The Raiders will get the scrum feed on their own 30

28min

Jack Wighton puts it down in the tackle but it's not all abd for Canberra as the Warriors will need to dig in to get up the other end here

27min

Nick Cotric somewhat makes up for earlier with a strong kick return beating 2 or 3 defenders. Metres coming easily for the Raiders now

27min

Slick ball movement from the Warriors gets Tuivasa-Sheck 1 on 1 with Croker but the veteran centre is up to the task defensively.

26min

Nick Cotric makes a break and streams upfield but forgets to pass to Croker who was unmarked on his outside and to top it all off he drops it while trying to play the ball! Real missed opportunity for the Raiders

25min

Jamayne Taunoa-Brown has two men unmarked outside him but opts to hold onto it. Raiders now bringing it out from their ow end 10 metres out through Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad

24min

Good run by Adam Keighran to get the Warriors to their own 30 metre line on the 2nd tackle

23min

Adam Keighran gets things going again. It looks as if a switch has been flicked for the Raiders over the last 5 minutes or so, the Warriors need to get momentum back somehow and soon

23min

Conversion: Raiders
Kicked by Jarrod Croker.

Jarrod Croker makes no mistake about 15 in from touch on the left hand side of the field. Raiders lead 6-0

Raiders lead Warriors 0 - 6 Raiders
22min

Try: Raiders
Scored by Elliott Whitehead. Kick to come.

TRY RAIDERS! Elliott Whitehead provides the support for Jarrod Croker who made a damaging run and was able to get it away. Worrying signs for the Warriors

Raiders lead Warriors 0 - 4 Raiders
21min

Green is forced to kick it just 25 metres away from his own line and the Raiders start the set in enemy territory

21min

Warriors really struggling to get out of their own end here

20min

And just like that, the pressure is relieved as the Warriors put it down and the Raiders are marching up-field very easily. They kick it 25 metres out from the Warriors line

19min

Eliesa Katoa is held up over the line, just! The Warriors are really working the right side defence of the Raiders, wouldn't be surprised if they launched a big play on the left soon.

18min

PENALTY WARRIORS! On the 4th tackle as well. The Raiders will do very well if they can hold if this raid

17min

Simonsson puts it down this time! You get the feeling the Warriors will need to take advantage of this field position sooner rather than later

17min

Green runs it on the last and links up with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck who manages to offload and the Raiders clean up the kick from Green

16min

Clock is stopped as Lachlan Burr has a bit of blood on him that needs to be cleaned up. The game has definitely been more evenly matched so far than initially expected

15min

Banana kick from Blake Green to finish the set and Jarrod Croker is well positioned to clean it up.

15min

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck looking dangerous off the scrum win

14min

PENALTY RAIDERS! Warriors not square at marker and Curtis Scott takes full advantage

12min

Blair let's the Raiders off the hook with a failed offload attempt

12min

Another penalty for the Warriors and they opt against taking the 2. Quick tap taken by Wayde Egan on the 20

11min

PENALTY WARRIORS! Jack Wighton makes a tackle on Blake Green that just creeps up a little higher than it needed to. Warriors start the set on the Raiders 30

10min

Ken Maumalo makes a strong kick return after a decent set from the Raiders

8min

Loose ball from Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and it is gathered by the Raiders who hang on again

8min

Dunamis Lui drops it cold, Warriors will be back on the attack

7min

We're going upstairs but on field call is no try. Jarrod Croker lost it but the ref thinks he was tackled in the air and the video ref has confirmed it. No try for the Warriors, penalty for the Raiders.

7min

Adam Keighran makes a half break but is reeled in by Curtis Scott. Warriors look a different team attacking wise to the 17 who showed up last week.

6min

Great grubber kick by Blake Green to force the repeat set, 6 more coming up for the Warriors

5min

Warriors inside the Raiders 20 here

4min

2min

Oh dear. Leeson Ah Mau puts it down on the second tackle of the match

1min

We're underway at an empty Cbus Super Stadium

Raiders will kick off giving the Warriors first use of the ball

Welcome to LeagueUnlimited's coverage of Super Saturday! We're at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast for the first of three NRL games and it's a foreign location for the Warriors and the Raiders. They are both unchanged from the 17 named earlier in the week by coaches Stephen Kearney and Ricky Stuart respectively. The Raiders come in as unbackable favourites however after the week the Warriors have gone through and the support they've received from all rugby league fans anything could happen. We should be kicking off in under 3 minutes now, let's go!
