The Canberra Times

The Canberra Raiders are calling on their loyal members to help create one of their biggest regular-season crowds at Canberra Stadium for their top-of-the-table dogfight against Canterbury on Saturday.

Just 5000 tickets remain for the one-v-two clash after Raiders fans bought 1000 tickets in the hour after their magic golden-point victory over the Melbourne Storm on Sunday night.

A crowd of more than 20,000 is expected for the 1994 grand final rematch, with ticket sales ahead of their round-two clash against the Brisbane Broncos.

"If he was in the wrong, he needs to pick his discipline up," Storm head coach Craig Bellamy said post-match regarding Utoikamanu.
