    The Raiders are one win away from a spot in the NRLW Grand Final after one try was enough for the Green Machine in the lowest-scoring game in competition history.

    Points were at a premium in Campbelltown as Canberra held on for a 6-0 victory over the Wests Tigers who have been knocked out of the finals after they ended the club's 15-year drought.

    The Raiders were too good for the Tigers a week ago and made it back-to-back victories thanks to an Isabella Waterman try 16 minutes into the contest.

    It was a nice shift to the left for the winger to score, with veteran halfback Zahara Temara then adding a penalty goal in the second half after she was stripped following a big break down the middle.

    Canberra's forwards laid the platform in their first finals appearance where Chloe Saunders was just about the best player as she dominated through the middle.

    Michael Crawley reflects on coaching in Mackay, appreciating its community spirit and simpler lifestyle amid broader rugby league challenges.

    Michael Crawley has worked as an assistant coach at the Raiders, Knights and Cowboys as well as a coaching consultant with the Dragons.

    When Peter V'landys talks expansion and the powerbrokers start hand-wringing that there are not enough quality players to stretch the competition, it's time to zoom out and look at places like Mackay.

    I spent 2020 coaching up there through the middle of the COVID chaos when the rest of the game ground to a halt, and that town left a permanent mark on me. Easy going country people have life pretty well worked out, moving to a different drum than the city folk. They put in the hard yards. When they knock off, they like a cold beer with mates, and if the fish are biting, well they hook up the boat and they go fishing - it feels like a jump back to a simpler time.

    History is on the line at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Friday night with both the Raiders and Tigers chasing their first NRLW finals victory. 

    In a scheduling quirk, the historic elimination final comes just seven days after the two sides faced off in their final game of the regular season.

    The round 11 match-up wasn't the farewell to Leichhardt Oval the West Tigers were hoping for as Darrin Borthwick's Raiders seemingly had an answer for everything the Tigers threw at them.
