We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
In a thrilling elimination final, the Canberra Raiders emerged victorious by a narrow margin of 24-22 against the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles at North Sydney Oval.
The Raiders started the game with a bang, scoring two tries in the first 10 minutes.
Peter Hola showed immense strength as he powered through a two-man tackle to open the scoring.
Ethan Strange then delivered a perfectly executed cut-out pass to James Schiller, who dived over in the corner, extending the lead to 10-0.
When the NRL judiciary found Corey Horsburgh guilty of a shoulder charge during the week, ruling the fiery forward out for four matches, Canberra were disappointed - but not as disappointed as Cronulla prop Royce Hunt.
Hands up if you remember the two heavyweights clashing back in round three.
Hunt called Horsburgh a "weak-gutted dog" - borrowing Raiders coach Ricky Stuart's infamous line - and said he had "never seen a front-rower hide behind his halfback" after things got heated in the middle of GIO Stadium.
Horsburgh responded by posting a meme of him holding a baby, with Hunt's face superimposed, and the caption:...
Penrith's win means they're in. Now it's all about the Canberra Raiders securing a home semi-final.
The Panthers' 44-12 win over North Queensland at Penrith on Saturday meant they not only win the minor premiership, but the Raiders will play finals - it's now just a matter of where in the top eight they'll finish.
If they beat Cronulla at Shark Park on Sunday then they'll leapfrog the Sharks to earn a game at Canberra Stadium in the first week of NRL finals.
