Before the miracle, madness occurred with Hudson Young's risky pass and Fogarty's missed goal.
The great irony is that before the miracle came madness.
Raiders star Hudson Young attempted an ill-advised flick pass as his teammates jostled and schemed for a last-minute shot at field goal in Mudgee.
And veteran No.7 Jamal Fogarty could only offer a grimace at recalling his rushed 76th-minute shot at goal, which would have spared Canberra fans the heart palpitations they have become so accustomed to.
