Tapine regrets missed opportunities as Raiders face slim chances of making NRL finals. Resurgence too late.
Joe Tapine admits he will look back on the season and wonder what might have been with a Canberra Raiders resurgence - which has brought down two NRL heavyweights - almost certainly coming too late to save their finals hopes.
The Raiders head into a round 27 clash with St George Illawarra with their top eight hopes hanging by the finest of threads, with Canberra needing to win and hope for a draw between Newcastle and the Dolphins to live on for another week.
Back-to-back wins over top four teams Penrith and the Sydney Roosters have shown what the Raiders are capable of - and that's what will sting Tapine during the off-season.
