Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 46 - 24 Raiders
72min

GAME OVER!

71min

Alex Seyfarth is back on.

71min

Ethan Strange forces a dropout.

70min

Seyfarth still has 90 seconds left in the bin.

70min

AND THEY DON'T THE TIGERS DROP IT STRAIGHT AWAY! RAIDERS 40 OUT!

70min

Canberra almost create another opportunity again down the left edge but a tackle from Samuela Fainu saves the day. The Tigers will finally get the ball back but they need to hold onto it.

68min

Again, Rapana needs to keep converting every try from here.

68min

Conversion: Raiders
Kicked by Jordan Rapana.

Rapana makes no mistake.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 42 - 24 Raiders
68min

Try: Raiders
Scored by Ethan Strange. Kick to come.

Kaeo Weekes puts a little chip kick to the corner of Xavier Savage and he looks to have knocked it backwards for Ethan Strange who then breaks the tackle and scores!

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 42 - 22 Raiders
68min

Jahream Bula with a stunning one-on-one tackle to stop Hudson Young from scoring a certain try!

67min

ALMOST! The Raiders nearly score again as they go down the right edge. Nick Cotric kicks inside with three Raiders in the picture but Aidan Sezer knocks it dead.

66min

4 tries in 14 minutes? Who says no?

66min

Conversion: Raiders
Kicked by Jordan Rapana.

Rapana needs to convert every try if the Raiders are any hope. He pilots that one through.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 42 - 18 Raiders
65min

Try: Raiders
Scored by Kaeo Weekes. Kick to come.

Well... if they are going to score that fast! Weekes beats Doueihi with the show and go and then outpaces Bula to score in the corner!

Try: Raiders
Scored by Nick Cotric. Kick to come.

A quick try in the corner.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 42 - 12 Raiders
62min

Seyfarth binned it seems for disrupting Danny Levi on a quick tap after a penalty.

61min

Nothing comes of the set though as Jahream Bula is well positioned to take the Nick Cotric kick on the last. He is now down receiving treatment.

60min

The Raiders have it off the short restart.

59min

Conversion: Wests Tigers
Kicked by Apisai Koroisau.

Koroisau adds the two.

Try: Wests Tigers
Scored by Apisai Koroisau. Kick to come.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 40 - 8 Raiders
57min

Jahream Bula has the short dropout.

57min

The Tigers flick it around on the last and almost somehow score again but Jordan Rapana boots it dead and a dropout is incoming.

Big opportunity coming up for the Tigers as Trey Mooney knocks down a pass. Another full set coming near the Canberra line.

51min

No try. Seven tackle set Tigers.

51min

Jordan Rapana's last-tackle grubber looks too heavy. Matthew Timoko has a shot at it but looks to have been too late and may have injured himself in the process.

50min

Momentum shift? Leg pull penalty and the Raiders will have another chance to reduce the deficit here.

49min

Conversion: Raiders
Kicked by Jordan Rapana.

Rapana converts.

Suddenly it is 30-2.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 30 - 2 Raiders
45min

Try: Wests Tigers
Scored by Jahream Bula. Kick to come.

A great set after points and Jordan Rapana takes the bomb comfortably. But the ball spills out as he goes to ground in the tackle, Apisai Koroisau scoops it up and puts Bula over!

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 28 - 2 Raiders
44min

INCREDIBLE! TIGERS SCORE AGAIN!

Conversion: Wests Tigers
Kicked by Apisai Koroisau.

Koroisau bends it through.

41min

Try: Wests Tigers
Scored by Lachlan Galvin. Kick to come.

Jahream Bula beats Nick Cotric and goes out to the wing to Solomona Faataape, who flicks it back inside for Adam Doueihi and he draws in the fullback to put Lachlan Galvin over! What a try to kick off the second half!

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 22 - 2 Raiders
40min

BANG! TIGERS TRY!

40min

Second half underway.

40min

Well - this 18-2 scoreline is now probably a solid reflection of this game because as much as the Tigers should have been up by more, the Raiders also came up close on two occasions late in the half.

40min

Penalty Goal: Raiders
Kicked by Jordan Rapana.

18-2 at halftime.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 18 - 2 Raiders
39min

Nick Cotric makes 30 metres with a charging run and then Hudson Young beats multiple defenders and looks certain to score but selflessly tries to find his teammate in a better position. Jahream Bula saves the try by getting a hand to the pass. A Tiger has it in an offside position. Penalty and the Raiders shoot for the penalty goal.

39min

Wow! The Raiders fire another warning shot right before the break - this may be a good thing for Benji Marshall because he'd want to rip into his players for their defence at the end of this half.

37min

Out of nowhere the Raiders almost strike right before the break as Kaeo Weekes runs on the last and beats a few defenders, draws the fullback and passes to Danny Levi but he is pulled down and the Tigers survive.

35min

Conversion: Wests Tigers
Kicked by Apisai Koroisau.

Koroisau adds the extras.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 18 - 0 Raiders
33min

Try: Wests Tigers
Scored by Sione Fainu. Kick to come.

They had to break them eventually and Fainu is over!

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 16 - 0 Raiders
32min

The Raiders turn it over and suddenly the Tigers are now 20 out.

30min

And that is another near try for the Tigers. Adam Doueihi leaps above to bat the kick back to Reuben Porter who is maybe a bit too selfless there as he passes to Lachlan Galvin with only Xavier Savage to beat and the halfback is pulled up.

26min

Genuinely. This game has been all the Tigers so far. The Raiders have worked hard to turn the Tigers away but this should be more than 12-0 at this stage.

25min

Sione Fainu is just denied a try by the hand of Zac Woolford - it has really been that close so far.

24min

Jordan Rapana's short dropout goes out on the full.

23min

Nick Cotric is back in the defensive line.

23min

Drama in back play with Nick Cotric down injured. The Tigers go down his edge on the last and force a dropout.

22min

Again though, the Raiders don't fire a shot and then turn it over on the last.

20min

All the momentum with the Tigers at the moment but Stefano Utoikamanu makes a simple error. The Tigers really should be up by 18 or so by now. They've been near perfect.

19min

BRILLIANT! Both in attack and defence! Adam Doueihi looks to be over in his first game back but Jordan Rapana comes up with a stunning solo tackle to hold him up. Last tackle coming.

18min

Now the Tigers have another chance to push further ahead as the Raiders give away a penalty. Adam Doueihi finds touch at halfway.

16min

Nothing comes of the set though as Jahream Bula easily takes the Ethan Strange kick.

16min

A relieving penalty now has the Raiders deep in Tigers territory. Is this a potential turning point given it could have easily been 18-0?

16min

Sezer knocked the ball on in the lead-up. No try!

16min

Jahream Bula almost makes a clean break on the left edge but Kaeo Weekes comes up with a huge tackle. It is in vain though as Jordan Rapana spills another bomb under the pressure of Aidan Sezer and Samuela Fainu brilliantly then flicks it to Koroisau! Goes up a try but it is being checked.

13min

Some great defence from the Tigers as Apisai Koroisau and Jahream Bula combine to cut down Hudson Young before Samuela Fainu shows great hands to take a Ethan Strange grubber. Tigers workin it out from their own end now.

12min

Tigers pinged for a forward pass just over halfway now.

11min

Conversion: Wests Tigers
Kicked by Apisai Koroisau.

A quick 12-0 lead now.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 12 - 0 Raiders
10min

Try is confirmed and it is a four-pointer for the debutant.

10min

Apologies - it was actually Rapana at the back who made the error on the Lachlan Galvin kick.

10min

Try: Wests Tigers
Scored by Luke Laulilii. Kick to come.

Xavier Savage drops the last tackle kick under the pressure of Jahream Bula and the Tigers have another full set and Luke Laulilii puts his hand up for a carry and is over on his debut!

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 10 - 0 Raiders
9min

Zac Woolford with a linebreak through the middle and the Raiders are suddenly in scoring territory but the Tigers scramble to clean it up and survive that raid.

8min

Kris makes up for the error with the tackle around the legs but Jahream Bula had an opportunity to still score but bounced it as he reached out.

8min

Jahream Bula goes over on the right edge but looks to have dropped it.

8min

Raiders penalised for a strip on Reuben Porter. Tigers find touch 25 out.

7min

Poor timing as the Raiders go left and Sebastian Kris lazily turns it over. Tigers 40 out.

7min

A great set after points from the Tigers, working their way up field with plenty of intent before a chaotic last tackle option, which featured a kick and a few offloads, ends up with the Raiders having the ball on their own 20.

5min

Conversion: Wests Tigers
Kicked by Apisai Koroisau.

Koroisau makes it 6-0.

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 6 - 0 Raiders
3min

Try: Wests Tigers
Scored by Lachlan Galvin. Kick to come.

How quickly fortunes changed there! Ethan Strange had the overlap on the left edge but throws an intercept to Brent Naden, who made the all or nothing play to come in. He was dragged down eventually 30 out but the Tigers immediately go down the left edge and Galvin scores!

Wests Tigers lead Wests Tigers 4 - 0 Raiders
2min

Now trouble Raiders!

2min

Trouble for the Tigers! Jahream Bula puts the ball down returning the last-tackle kick and the Raiders are on the attack right on their line.

1min

The Tigers, meanwhile, are just over halfway on the last and Aidan Sezer puts one up for Jordan Rapana who is under it with no problems. Raiders working it out of their own end.

1min

The Raiders don't make it past their own 40 on their opening set. Jahream Bula fields the kick on the last and the Tigers start their first set on their own 20.

1min

We are underway at Campbelltown. Raiders with first use of it.
