Match Centre

The Raiders continue to win games in the most Raiders way possible as the Tigers second kick ends up in the hands of Zac Woolford. Next week they travel to their home away from home in Melbourne to take on the Storm, while the Tigers have made the wise decision to move their home game against the Warriors to New Zealand.

This may come close to topping the earlier Raiders Tigers game for it's chaotic ending. Luke Brooks put in a crossfield kick for an unmarked David Nofoaluma who got a bad bounce, but somehow kept the ball in and threw a pass to Starford To'a, who was taken out but it was a high tackle. The siren has sounded, the Tigers have one play to score a try and win the game
