Foxsports have the news on the Raiders’ gripping win over the second placed Penrith Panthers at home in Canberra last night.

The Raiders scored five tries to the Panthers’ four at Canberra Stadium, leaving the visitors scoreless in the second half.

Marshalled brilliantly by five-eighth Terry Campese in the final 40 minutes, the Raiders took charge to lay on three unanswered tries.

They now move to 11th spot (22 points) and are four points adrift of the top eight with four games remaining.

Where there’s life?

Yeah not going to make it this year.

Can they recruit another Furner in to the mix?

They were dire in the first half, but great in the second. Mind you it helped that the refs changed out of their Penrith jerseys at half time too, and proudly showed their support for the Raiders in the second half.

Wonder what was said at half time? The team obviously broke from their usual routine of 4 schooners, 2 pies and pass the bong around (I’m looking for a rational explanation of the second half fadeouts all year till now and that’s my best hypothesis).
