Match Centre

75 points, 13 tries and some breathless fans including myself! What a crazy game. Canterbury raced to a 26-0 lead before letting Canberra get it back to 34-34. Josh Reynolds nailed the match winning field goal from a bizarre angle and then Mbye put the icing on the cake at the end with his run away try. Game of the season?

We're back for the second half guys and gals

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-16

What a wonderful half of attacking footy. Canterbury started like a steam train and got out to a 26-0 lead inside 20 mins, however Canberra have flexed their attacking muscle in the last 10 mins, running in three tries and reduced the deficit to 10 points. They have all the momentum too. Should be a thrilling second half

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-16

Great chip kick by Austin but doesn't get the bounce he wants, the Dogs survive

Bulldogs are falling asleep here and Canberra have their tales up

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Just a break here as Rapana has hurt his ankle, twisted badly in the tackle

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Close! Canterbury nearly have their 5th try but Reynold's pass is forward to Thompson, there were no Raiders defenders for miles! Lucky

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Good set from Canberra but Cornish's grubber kick is just a touch too heavy and it goes dead, despite the best efforts of Jarod Croker

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Penalty to Canberra coming out from their own end, gives them a piggy back up the field

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

19 missed tackles to Canberra and only 1 to the bulldogs

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Canberra deep on the attack, a try here would be very very handy

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Penalty to Canberra, Reynolds is on report too. It is for taking Croker out in the contest in the air

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 26-0

Penalty to the Dogs 10m right in front, they'll take the shot at goal

We're going upstairs again folks, possible try to Josh Reynolds...

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 18-0

Lots of metres on offer for the Dogs, Lichaa and Reynolds eating it up at the moment

Canberra have it all to do don't they? They bring the ball up over halfway and Austin thumps the ball downfield

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 18-0

11 missed tackles by the Raiders in 10 mins, dear oh dear

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 18-0

Far out Canberra! Austin drops it behind himself on the last, then tries to pick it up but only proceeds to kick it backwards 10m! He is then stripped 1 on 1, Dogs ball 40m out!

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 12-0

Rapana gets the ball back from Canterbury, collects the ball high and runs it out 15m out from his own line.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 12-0

Canberra really on the back foot, Canterbury all over them at the moment

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 12-0

Canberra are offside from the kick off! Sisa waqa the culprit! Raiders off to a poor start

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 6-0

We're going upstairs for a possible try! Ref has ruled no try though

Strong opening set from the raiders, 50m in the set and Cornish dinks in a little grubber that dribbles into touch.

Canberra have the ball from the kick off.

Here come both clubs onto the field, kick off is imminent!

0 all

Only about 10 mins away from kickoff here, both sides have finished their warmups and moved back inside the sheds.
Should be a cracking game between these two clubs. Lots of history (1994 Grand Final) springs to mind. So I expect a lot of desperation as well as a physical battle up front, both sides have some big boys! Should be a cracker!

Huge day for Josh Reynolds. The media has been badgering him for weeks with his poor form as well as Immortal Andrew Johns having a dig. Will this plus his exclusion from the State Of Origin Team fire him up for a big performance today?

0 all

Blake Austin has been in superb form so far in 2015, some have touted him as the buy of the season with his stirling performances in the middle of the park. His running game will be very important today and if Canterbury leave any gaps in the ruck then he will expose them.

A very important game for both clubs as Canberra were brought crashing back to earth last week at the Hands of St George, where their defence was off big time.
Canterbury have been on struggle street for several weeks and want to get the win to keep in touch with the top 8. No James Graham as well as missing Trent Hodkinson will be tough to over come, can they grab the 2 points?
