Inside the final 10 minutes and both sides are well and truly still in this game at the moment

Lost ball from the Knights gives the Raiders a rare second half attacking opportunity

UNSUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE: It was always going to go that way on the replay based on the call but we've seen that go many different ways

CHALLENGE: Raiders penalised for a strip by Ashley Klein but they are challenging and Adam Gee is having a long look at it

Jackson Hastings OUT of the second half after his ankle injury hurt him again

SECOND HALF IS GO! The Raiders have their hand on the next week of the finals but we know how they can crumble

MAJOR concern for Jackson Hastings with a knee injury but he's back up

TRY TIME - Ashley Klein really doesn't like this one but the touch judge is confident that there is no escort and the Raiders go over for now but Jack Wighton's run could be an issue.
