Jamal Fogarty sunk his boot into the Wests Tigers - but not before a Tom Starling sin bin turned the game on its head.
Fogarty scored two tries - set up with his own kicks - and then set up another - also with a kick as the Canberra Raiders got out to an 18-0 lead.
But the Tigers produced a miraculous comeback before a Fogarty penalty goal eventually made it a 20-19 victory for the Green Machine at Campbelltown on Friday night.
