Fun game here - this was everything we expected from both of these teams - flashes of brilliant attacking play combined with some boneheaded errors. When the Raiders click and are firing on all cylinders as they were in the final 20 of this one, they're so hard to stop. A much-needed win for the Green Machine and a very disappointing second half from Canterbury after going into the sheds with a lead.
Thanks for following along, we'll see you tomorrow for the Knights and the Eels!
Croker knocks it through and it's 32-20!
Tapine gets his double this time!
They had numbers to the right, but he steps and goes himself, pushing through some awful defence from Perrett and Faitala-Mariner. Game over!
A Reynolds bomb goes to ground and Croker picks it up and streaks 80m before being tackled a metre out! This might be the best possible result as now we can't go back and check the contest where there may have been a Canberra knock on!
Perrett throws a wide ball to try and put Smith over in the corner but it's behind the man and out for a scrum!
Back to topHUGE dropout from Austin and Graham is tackled on the first play just 45m out from his own tryline!
Six more as Rapana is trapped in goal. Just over five minutes to go here!
Poor set from the Dogs before Canberra roll back down the field, Sezer grubbers on the last to Croker who picks it up about 10m out and throws it back infield for Tapine who looks like he might grab a double but the pass is ruled forward!
Perrett does well to haul in a kick from Sezer. Can the Dogs hit back as we enter the final ten?
Bulldogs have completely fallen apart. Lazy and without effort in all areas, showing most pertinently in defence.

Croker nails this one! 26-20!
Soliola goes over and Canberra lead!
They go back-to-back! Good set to march down the field before a pass takes a touch from Lichaa to give the Raiders six more, but they only need one as the former Rooster steps off his left, leaves Perrett for dead and scores!
Top try from Lee, the speed from that guy! #NRLRaidersBulldogs

Croker misses again so it stays at 20-20!
Edrick Lee streaks away!
We're level here! Wighton takes the kick roughly 30m out from his own line and then throws a beautiful pass to his left before the big winger slices through a couple and then turns on the jets to score in the corner!
Rona loses it! The Raiders are right back on the attack but then Sezer throws it away!
What a run from Blake Austin but it's No Try! He slices through a few and then drags Perrett to the line but then he grounds it millimetres short of the line before losing it!
No mistake from Croker! 20-16.
The Bulldogs lose it and then Holland gives away a penalty for a bit too much wrestling on Croker in the tackle. 25 minutes to go, can the Raiders hit back?
