We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
It's the wedding that opens the door for Canberra Raiders young gun Xavier Savage's potential NRL return.
Albert Hopoate's sister Laumaile is getting married in Sydney on Friday and the Raiders winger wants to be there to celebrate the big day with her.
It means he will miss the Green Machine's Magic Round clash against the Canterbury Bulldogs at Lang Park on Friday night.
The NRL has admitted they missed a knock on from backrower Hudson Young in the lead-up to the Raiders’ field goal which secured golden point victory.
As the scores sat at 30-30 with only minutes left on the clock in extra time, Jamal Fogarty stepped off his right foot before finding Jack Wighton.
Wighton offloaded the ball on the inside to Young who was met by Dolphins forward Ray Stone as the ball hit Canberra’s edge forward’s hand before bouncing off Stone’s shoulder.
NRL concedes error on crucial golden point call
The NRL concedes officials missed a crucial knock-on call late in Canberra's golden-point win over the Dolphins.
With scores locked at 30-30, Canberra's Hudson Young knocked the ball forward into the arm of Ray Stone, before the Raiders regained possession.
The Raiders were awarded set restart after officials pinged Kaufusi for knocking the ball forward, before Jamal Fogarty slotted the match-winning field goal four plays later.
