We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Canberra have survived an almighty Wests Tigers comeback, clinching a 20-19 NRL win thanks to a controversial penalty goal in the dying minutes.
After going pointless for more than an hour, the Tigers looked to have pulled off a win for the ages when they scored three tries in four minutes to draw level at 18-18 with eight minutes to play.
They then took the lead with a Luke Brooks field goal that sent the Campbelltown crowd into raptures.
The only bloke who would have enjoyed this more than Ricky Stuart is the bloke sitting next to him in the coaches box.
It is almost a year to the day that Wests Tigers sacked Michael Maguire. Since then he has joined the Canberra brains trust, had his tyres kicked by Eddie Jones and counted down the days to this moment.
Armed with Maguire's inside knowledge, the Raiders recorded a 20-19 win at Campbelltown Stadium, a result that propelled them to the cusp of the top eight.
Not for the first time, Madge would have been confounded by the Wests Tigers. His new team had played all over his former one, racing to an 18-0 lead with just 11...
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.
