Half time at Pepper Stadium, and the Raiders and Panthers are all tied up at 18 all.
It has been a sensational first half with both sides not prepared to die wondering with some exciting play. Very much tit for tat stuff with neither side scoring successive tries. For the Panthers tries to Taylor, Segeyaro and Yeo and for the Raiders tries to Rapana, Vaughan and Fensom.
The 18 all scoreline indicates the desperation of both teams and you get the feeling we are in for more of the same in the second half so stay tuned!
