NRL Finals Flashback | Canberra Raiders v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks | Qualifying Final, 2012

hello everyone welcome to another day of the first weekend of the finals second elimination final between the sharks of crenella and the Raiders of CRA in front of a pack Stadium here Cambra Stadium as it's now called attracted something like 26,000 when they set a ground record a couple of years ago for a a finals match involving West Tigers so this crowd is probably up around that figure today 26,000 we've been reading for quite some days now that it's been a sellout well stati statistics can often be misleading overall they show this side Coral's record here is Dreadful winning eight from 21 but in reality they've won six of their last eight games here more of a worry for the Sharks as their form coming out of the regular season where they have won just two of the last nine and more recently you saw it a capitulation of the Cowboys last Sunday well CRA must have been thinking this final would be played in Sydney when behind 226 at halftime last week against the Warriors but then the green machine they responded with 36 unanswered points and look at the bunting look at the flags they've got the home ground support very much on their side today on the subject of scoring tries in the second half of the season this canra side have scored more than any other club which is probably why they've won eight of their last 10 games stages set then Tony Archer and Chris James are our combination of whistleblowers this afternoon and I think we've seen two great exhibitions in the matches I've done over the weekend at AZ on Friday and then in Melbourne last night from both sets of referees so I would think Bill harrian and Stuart Raper would be most pleased will run right left defending the southern end Cary left the field from the training session the warmup session We Believe to have an injection as the ball is taken by Dugan for CRA the custodian and Josh will play the ball he was under some doubt together with Williams the number seven but they both pleased David ferer in the final training session yesterday so camra team that knows how to score tries against prala who if they have a deficiency they can't score tries in fact they came in at the end of the regular season at number 13 ranked for scoring Tri only the dragons the wheels and the pen behind them played then by Pali and it's with fensom now this Workhorse for CRA who play the ball 33 M out from his own line the sun shining and not a cloud in the sky it's one of God's Own days and MCR it is that drives it down it's going to roll and uh make them play at the ball Gordon it is Isaac with the ball he's very very quick one of the fastest players in the game in the white head gear is Williams today I'm accustomed to seeing uh kroer in a headgear but yes he is in the white head gear as well so we got Williams and kroer both in whad gear the shark throwing it about Jeremy Smith takes it ahead to the 40 m line and despite Isaac Gordon being named on the wing he is slotted into fullback Matt wght has gone onto the right flank what a reception when the Raiders out on the field this afternoon it's up to them now to keep the the fans involved so here is Bryce Gibbs who is no stranger to a grand final he was a member of the West tigers in 2005 he plays at 35 M away from the line and it's going to Carney he puts a definitely good kick on it he was looking for Matthew right and Isaac Gordon and lelli and it's rolled over the ti the the sideline on the Eastern side that's a very very strange kick you would think early in a in a final like this there'd be nerves you'd want to throw it up in the air and test the fullback he's back there on his own and he just dribbles this out over the sideline I can't really believe that I reckon he's Mis kick that he's tried to kick that INF field and it's come off the outside of his boot he's a bit perturbed by that but I'm sure he was looking to get it around the TR line in the field of play it's begs the the question which of his legs which one of them was hampered with that injury last Sunday well when he went back to the dressing room we had vision of it he took the right boot off Ferguson's ball has gone forward picked up by Earl knock on against konala against canra and so canala will get the loose head and feed and this will give them a good chance they're just outside the crath 30 m line they can do a little bit of this the Raiders they're very you know they they'll always move the ball around in their own half of the field and those little fumbles can come against them and the sharks are a spoiling at your tight footy team they can force a turnover they will looking at the CRA props have there been two taller props pack down in our game before he was kindly looking to give the ball B to lelli who fell over rather embarrassingly and it's played by Carney and gone through Robson picking up tupo so Anthony tupo will play the ball just inside the 30 m line with konala running TOS the Northern end and GB with a little show and go he had deor running around him now car's dropped in to First receiver left side here he ises with the ball Cary and it's gone back to Gordon Gordon away it's gone off gallon it might have come off CRA scooped up referee calls it back probably it'll be a knock on against the Raiders because of the fact that they were attempting a tackle on gallon that's the way they they rule these days and it's Ferguson the number four for CRA peters's already made the point I heard in the preview he came to CRA hoping to join the club with to win a Premiership so he's put all his eggs in the one basket very much here today he was very lucky there Paul Gallum because that pass wasn't on he was throwing it to no one so he's lucky that the Raiders got a handle it another good chance here for crella Colin best is this his last game in the NRL today looking at retirement it's gone on from Robson picked up gallon and gall's in the middle of the ground he play the ball 10 m out chance again for konala de on Robson with the ball ball and then he gets it away to Smith and Smith takes the tackle back through Goods back to Connie cut out ball to lelli lelli got away from Robinson but taken by the the two head gear players and they were kroer and Williams and that come from Cary short to Gibbs Gibbs will play the ball five or six met away from the camber line so they they're testing camber online defense at the moment here's Connie got acrosser got a ball away lelli lelli is scored in just his 10th NRL game and his first Finals and he's got a lovely pass I think tupo has played a little part at the end of it a big part I was going to say this reminded me of Canterbury start the other night a couple of errors with the football for canra but then defensively very strong well they couldn't maintain it here they created an overlap when really there wasn't one on and lelli went straight through he's the man in for Ben pomoy I can find a try as I look at the stats on him I haven't seen him before born in Brisbane but uh in his 10th game today he's racked up his fifth try and on you know limited opportunities obviously 22 used to be the hooker in reserve [Music] GR Cary taking the shot from the intersection of the 10 m line on the 20 M line over on the Eastern side with that Gan Lam stand bathing in sunshine and all green so here he is a study in concentration he's back in his own backyard here today it's on its way it's a lovely kick never ever left the Line Andrew John sideline today yeah this is the gap the Sharks will try to exploit today you see the two white head gears there between Jared Koker and Sam Williams on Theo replay this time Anthony tup passes out there to riul lelli you watch as the game goes on he'll be charging in between those two white head gears trying to exploit that Gap yeah Jared Kroger didn't show a lot of faith in his Inside Man in Sam Williams if he stayed out and allowed Williams to take the ball par it was three on three and there was no hole for lelli to go through and a big kickoff by Dugan and it was taken in by Gordon Peter points out as playing at fullback but he really had to become urgent Isaac Gordon let me tell you and he scrambled to take it it's a beautiful take in the end mark tuur plays the ball for the Sharks and here was gallon now and trying to fend away from Pali but Pali makes the tackle inside the 30 m line on it goes to Carney then and Carney drifting across and linking up with tupo it's almost like they're connected at the hip at the moment tupo and Cary de turns it back T takes it ahead T of course joining the sharks from Newcastle to The Blind Side Cary this time he rakes it low and back into the middle of the ground then he picks up Shanda Earl and Earl is back to the 30 m line so 6 nil in favor of pra the first try coming after just 6 minutes and scored by lelli in just his 10th NRL game his fifth try this is Dugan Peter he didn't hit that kick as well either C County I wouldn't be surprised if maybe Jeff Robson takes on a bit more responsibility in that department and Mak a bit of pressure off as Williams finds Fen him back on the inside 22-6 they trailed at halime last weekend they must have thought well we're going to Sydney for a semi-final but then they came back with that blistering finish against the Warriors Gordon will play the ball inside the 20 M line konala into the ground elimination final sudden death football and exclusively live on nine as all the finals up ball goes away then to the wing 3/ quter Stapleton and he'll play the ball Nathan Stapleton with GES you done for the Sharks and gallon popped it out Gordon got it on Robson gets it best is with the ball and Colin best he'll play the ball he played some time here in cber now G just just hung on to that ball G he's been hit High here too Ray The Swinging arm of Josh Pali thank you Joe palali yep got him he was falling Josh over here mate wa over there it's a high tackle it's going to be a penalty for a high tackle but I'm just seeing no wait I'm seeing whether there report tacha waving papali away from the Fallen Paul Gallen only thing that I was interested in papali was more concerned about gallon than he he was about the ball or anything to do with the game he was quite concerned for gallon was that an outstanding season that young man played every game Josh fali no it's a penalty but it's not on report you as me whether but the home side again to be at under pressure as sharks will find touch attacking Zone played a couple of times this year these two clubs stark contrast the results one a piece round eight sharks demolish the Raiders scoring eight tries here and then in round 20 more recently the Raiders thump the shots 36 and four scoring six tries at Toyota so how do you line this match up that's probably why it is packed to the rafters and Colin best will play the ball de go through to Robson inside ball Stapleton and he's taken to ground by but to the nine the CRA here's deg on a runaround Mission with GBS and then delivering for Cary to go away again to tupo and a knock on by Gordon went back went behind the point went back behind the point knocked on knock on is ordered that was a little bit too elaborate there from the Sharks I'm not sure they need to be that elaborate with their plays today to get points on the Raiders they've just got to run hard and straight and keep it pretty simple little around me off me out the back inside offload come up with the fumble canra were appealing for a penalty for an offside player there but he went back behind the point of the knock on was the point made by Chris James the the referee in control at that time the Toyota Cup result here today another Cliffhanger right on full time 2 seconds to go and the Raiders kick the field goal 39 beating the Warriors 38 the second qualifying final to the Raiders in the Toyota Cup by a point I can tell you the Warriors LED 3832 with less than two minutes to go the Raiders scored in the corner kicked the goal then came back got a field goal B with the ball I tell you what You' have to uh i' think you'd have to search long and hard to find that score line in R we swap we'll swap okay um presenting itself 3938 yeah well they get some big scores in the Toyota cup I understand but 39 38 I wonder where we're going to find that score I don't think it's ever happened before RAB that's what you want to know well that's what I was alluding to I wasn't looking for an argument I'm prepared to say it's never happened before okay thank you two two seconds on the clock two seconds on the clock when young Milford kick the field go and the Warriors season over another mistake here from the cber Raiders they're two from four completions Gordon really open something up on his outside all the field position certainly enjoyed by the sharks in the opening 12 minutes Colin B then drifting across running along the 30 m line marked to four it is the straightens the attack up plays the ball outside the 20 middle line it's going away then to Jeremy Smith and onto Anthony tupo he's looking down that right side tupo and when he's on form he's a brilliant player car went short into taur but it was all a little bit it was all a bit hesitant it was never going to really trouble Campbell this might trouble Campbell as the ball goes back deep but Carney is snuffed out there by Williams initially and then Tils who came in over the top and now here's Robson putting a kick in Dugan's got work Dugan's got work to do and he did it well cleaned it up got back into the field of play now for kroer inside the 10 m line Sunday afternoon at the football it's never looked as good as this for a long long time in camber well they got to get some possession at the other end of the field the Raiders that the whole game so far has been played at their end the stacker defense and every time they get the ball they're trying to bustle their way out of trouble this [Applause] is running it out and getting it some 35 M away Dugan got a kick in and then he tried to block it with the feet Gordon it's going into touch Touch by konala Cambra will get a real golden opportunity now I think it might have nearly been a 4020 anyway I'm pretty sure he was inside the 40 when he kicked it so regardless it was a big kick and Isaac Gordon tried to get his foot to it due the soccer skills and just gave it the Miss Shane Flanigan doesn't a p happy about that want to look at it it's ironic isn't it you're trying to stop the football to be safe so that you don't knock on right let's go touch with the foot come on let's go come on and now the Raiders chance just starting develop in the crowd as they sense something about to happen seconds locks all the way in don't come out early don't come out early Paul Williams to work this scrum 20 in and 10 out from the canalo L and here it is it's out with Thompson and Thompson playing in the second row today who play 5 m out from the uprights CRA then pressing and here is MCR and holding it back off papali m he's been good for them oldest player in the backline 25 years of age here's the ball away now to Shillington the captain David Shillington capsizing Under The Tackle of three of the Sharks butus let fun and then Williams and then D now and he's over the line but he's in an upright tackle tackle four Todd leave him Tod you don't often see held up closer to the dead ball line than the TR line what what happens if they take him over the dead ball line for the whistle I think the referee probably would have called hill before all of that that's not an answer I understand that because I don't know the answer I think the answer is he'd be de in goal wouldn't he it depends whether they lifted a leg or something like that here is Williams with a little dab and it's been put dead by the number one Matthew right that's good pressure maintained took them a long time to get down here Sam Williams was intent on keeping them down here now like Gold Line dropouts consecutive sets the Sharks players really getting off their line quickly they're out to bustle these Raiders play if you stand back and wait for the Raiders they'll car you up so far so good for the visitors oh that was a kick that really was swirling around off the boot of right it beat buan and now Shillington picks it up and carries it back to the 35 m point I reckon the next person will catch it here is Williams and now F him up ended and put down on the 30 m line konala end of the park they go short side and they go through William and then they tried something a little bit too fancy and too fast and it went off off Joel Thompson and went forward kral gets the advantage Matthew right plays the ball it's come away to Bry Gib and Gib play at 35 away from the kenola line so Gallen lines himself up for another run seconden by the tackle of papali which did not go on report now tup down the right side he's dropped it Forward dropped it Forward I've got no doubt that Tony you got it right and so camra will get the loose head and Fe to a nice scrum when I say that in a nice position right on halfway very noticeable the two times that the Raiders have had the ball in attacking position they've gone or directed their play straight at Todd Carney kroer charged at him when he got in goal there and they went down that short leftand Blind Side again where they dropped the ball but looking to direct Runners at Cary test his Fitness and his defense can the footballer who's lost everything save his family we've been asking that question over the weekend as ree Robin comes in Australia's new hit drama that is full of heart new house husbands tonight on nine half past 8 following 60 minutes just out some of 30 m line the news at 6 tonight of course buying golden point I suppose here's Shillington now they're 25 away they're coming down the middle and here it goes for MCR he's found shander who scores are they came in off their wings grala and they left a yawning gap down the corridor on the left ah he's a good player Josh mccr you take Jerry Cy out of this side the most influential player and Josh mccr has put his hand up and taken on the responsibility teams are so used to him going short especially to papali on this side that's what they're looking for when he goes to the line the short ball and this time great vision he sees the canala winger come way in lot of space for shandor ear to work in and he puts the football down for their opening [Music] [Applause] points so The Interchange is about to kick into this game ler GL is getting ready to come on [Music] so back here at CRA Stadium there's the Tricor for CRA shandor is how you pronounce it I'm led to believe shandor Earl former Panther and given an enormous gap down that right side for him to score so from the sideline it's Jared kroer Shand another outside back benefited from a mid-season change of clubs Jared is not far off the club Point scoring record for a season but he's offline with the kick Andrew John sideline yeah great ball playing by Josh mccr first time he goes the line he sets him up with the left jab goes the line of the kuna replay he plays short next time he gets the ball he goes for The Knockout Punch to the right cross goes along to shandor great ball playing Stay on I reckon the Sharks did that to themselves that was really poor defense by the sharks they just jammed in there for no reason there was more than enough bodies to cover the Winger as well and just gave him an easy passage Shillington carries a very big kickoff from Stapleton back to the 10 m line and now Fenson tries to step off his his right foot and put himself through a gap but he's he's held inside 20 mome just pops it up then to papali and papali gets a Beyond thir he got the ball away to [Applause] Dugan playing the ball short of halfway buters goes away makes good yardage carries play into coronal's territory fence some dummy half it's with the halfback Williams Williams goes himself comes out the other side gets it to cro up bounces away from a wood be from De put a kick out wide looking for shander ear and ear is in again stop it it's starting to hurt rugby league rugby lead well there is one te when you are playing tackle fourth we're comfortable we want to see what Colin best does that you do not want to get a roll against you and on the back of some field position and some possession finally the Raiders have gone back to back very very quickly with the same man putting the football over the line but it was set up by Sam Williams who made the break down the left linked up with Jared kroker who kicked deliberately and again Shand Orel in a padic of space takes the astute kick on his chest what they're looking for their Peter is what happens when he puts this ball down whether or not Colin best kicked out at him there was also a hit on the kicker after the kick so they're not worried about the try they're worried about the challenge here when he puts it down n it's nothing that's nothing I don't think it's in Colin best's make up anyway no just what a try it was though oh that was brilliant absolutely breathtaking great work by ker the awareness to realize there was opening it's a try so Tony ARA verifies that it's a try we'll take a break from camra it's exciting stuff back in a [Applause] [Music] moment [Applause] and back at canra the crowd they came they came in their thousands and of course dominating them are Raiders supporters and they're getting what they paid for at the moment Jared cro to convert from pretty much the same place as the previous try this one he's brought it back so kroer converts the Try by Earl and it takes the Raiders to a 10-6 lead after 23 Andrew Johns yeah I SP girl in the game about the wi head gears being targeted in defense watch the white head gears here the showing go by Sam Williams on the K repay look at this ball the now look past and what this the sign of a great player he doesn't panic looks up great vision great touch the green machine they're on a roll that was wonderful Vision there of of the decision making from Jared kroker you could see he had three or four different options in his mind in a very short space of time he knew that the kick was the right one tenson is with the ball playing it on his own 30 m line Cron's entered back on the inside for his captain and Shillington to play it for butus and then it's off the boot of Williams down into a vacant Corner going fast as um Gordon is's in the end goal he's got right back with him he's able to make it well back oh they've got him and they've put him on the they've put him on the chair they put him on the chair and took him into touch well that's finals football right there score points get to the front four tackles out to the 40 m line build it down into the corner good kick Chase and then they just pick him up watch this Isaac Gordon I'll get out into the field of play okay I'm safe I'm safe look out look out look out look out they took him all the way to Kuma rabbits super work there from Jared croen Ru Robinson he stayed High Isaac Gordon he was a long way from the sideline he thought that he was safe but Chase is coming like that in numbers you've got to get low the safest place is the is is the do it so camber again with a tremendous opportunity first tackle is 10 m out from Thompson and the 17 is with the board Leroy blaz play the ball 7 m away from the corala Line run around for the hooker and it's bis with the [Music] ball has gone in his D half playing the ball and now it's to Williams and he go short and it's come down with konala and lelli has got the ball for them playing it on his own 10 m line C is out there now and cber are inside the 10 so krala will get themselves out of this pre situation there was a bit harsh on the Raiders there because they were disputing whether or not it was possession and before they could get themselves reset krala had played the ball and come at them and caught them inside the 10 very very noticeable that Sam Williams is is directing everything at Todd Carney he's driving him mad there's Gall foral scored first Ricky lelli at the six minute then Shanda Earl has responded twice at the 19th and 21st minutes for CRA here is De ducking away from dummy half and tackled by Joel Thompson tupo Robson Robson holding back before going to Jeremy Smith his shaped almost as though he was going to kick de go rushed into dummy half Robson puts a kick in there's a collision in back play it's going over to the dead ball line and it's coming back fast with Earl out to the 20 M line he's run at the players that were on side sometimes think they'd be better off running to the edges and find in players that are loitering back to the 10 I'd like to see them TS it very few of them TS itate was to played that ball this is Ferguson and he's right in the center of the ground and a penalty goes to canra the side it's against Andrew Faida you well they're getting a real roll on here the home side their confidence is up they've got to the front and that's where they like to be let's see again whether or not Sam Williams comes roaring back at Todd Carney with Joel Thompson and kroer Williams takes the tap and goes himself down to the 10 m line and kroer goes into dummy half they go away to butus at first and then it's a run for Leroy L and Tom from Tamworth originally I think will play the ball 3 m out from the canala line another chance coming up for CRA MCR waiting players around him and it's papali with it [Applause] now Kali a few meters out from the line as you can see back to butus and there's a ball to MCR and MCR got a short pass away to a replacement on for Cambra is it picker I'm not sure the 16 it is that's Nicholls now buckus it's come back and away from Williams bird and flying high to Mark the ball to Stapleton all the way he rushes back then to the 20 now then not back the 10 play he ran that was and he'll play the ball stapled him so Matthew rob a quick play the ball from stapon and takes it down to the halfway so you can't do much with him there and the second tackle but now he's got a forward pass so everything is rolling for the green yeah that was very very lazy very lazy two really good charges got the Sharks on the front foot and then just some lazy play out of dummy half look at that just first threw it forward and Wade Graham didn't give him much room for error there too because he was standing right on the advantage line Shane Flanigan bangs his head on the desk feels better when you Bang Your Head on the desk I got to say don't come out early it really does it feels better rabbits that explains a few things gasa didn't want to go there but now you've answered the question Shand Earl playing it just outside the 40 m line is Joel Thompson used to seeing Joel in the allstar game and mainly playing in the Cent Leroy Lives 25 M out from the line CRA 10 six over the Sharks and MCR goes up challenges gets it to butus butus is put down 10 m out from the Corella line exclusively live on Channel 9 this is elimination final two as they come away to Dugan and Dugan is taken there by Colin B had to come up out of the line he knew Dugan would be very very dangerous if you gave him space the kick from Williams broke is up above them it's come off him and gone forward not so there's no Advantage there for to hand over and a knock on has been ordered by T Yer quite correctly top on the scoreboard and in top in general play Raiders bringing the ball forward play Early in the game was at the other end of the field the sharks have been working up their own line for a while now that's fa taking the second carry as John Morris only shark who played every game this season comes to the sideline gallon now out to the 40 m line first semifinal next next Friday night it's alion and it'll be SE Eagles up against Cowboys that'll be one heck of the game halfast seven Friday the second semi-final will be the rabbit o against the winner of this at a inz at 7:30 on Saturday now the kick from Carney will find the line did the SE Eagles not knock the Cowboys out last year I think they did yeah they did they did but I don't know what you think I'm I'm starting to get wrapped in what the Cowboys are doing oh they they're a serious threat don't worry about them I SP to Jonathan thir and mentioned their exit last year against manly he said we are a completely different football team plenty of the same faces we go into this final series a whole lot differently to to last year let me say this to the manly supporters I I know that sometimes we we hint that you don't want to come across the bridge the club the team deserves you to cross the bridge next Friday to alons because youve got a really big job on your hands against an Electric Cowboy unit and here was Robinson the Raiders have got to be careful here they'll feel as though they're well on top but have a look at the scoreboard there still only four the difference and that's very typical of the sharks they just they hang in and hang in and hang in and end up frustrating you out of it Raiders have got to play and keep the intensity going Thompson here is Fenson Thompson defend him and Fenson will play the ball close to halfway and beran is out there now for canra he's the deputy dummy half right is in the engo he'll be looking for the ground I would imagine well he fell into the tackle well that's probably the next best thing and he plays the ball 10 me out here's Gordon he will play the ball Under The Tackle of big Tom Leroy L stapled him now with a run for crela they're keeping a pretty safe this set they're out to the 30 m line three tackles gone dting away is John Morris and he takes it down towards halfway so it's a safe as a bank this set and it's gone to Robson now he goes to and johney goes sling across the face and finding stapon down on the 30 m line here's the last now for the Sharks robs him he kicks might have been taken a fraction late by Earl Dugan goes up and Dugan is tackled in midair to get a penalty theer has taken him in midair move away move away James didn't hesitate he put the arm up he put the arm straight up and that's exactly what the midair tackle rule is about is taking the legs out from under someone when he's in the air and that he didn't hesitate there for feder it uh this is how he was looking for it camber then bar as I said is on there he linked he link that play then to Leroy L he's a a player with enormous experience beran former Bronco a very talented [Applause] player something he's worn the Australian colors at some stage here he is with the ball again beran just into canala territory MCR dummy half Williams the half and here's DG in from the back and Dugan will play the ball just outside the 30 m line tackler out there was buya who's on now 17 as Leroy L spinning into them plays it now for beran he gives it to the kick from Williams and it's high and it's well placed and there's a canala player on the ground Gordon has got the ball but you heard the referee say play on it was this man Colin best who ended up on the ground and so again in Fairly dramatic fashion at the end of a Blake Ferguson tackle so the 20 is Wade Graham and canala back inside their own 20 M line a lot of vigor in the last couple of tackles Crow were Bing for a tackle at col best had interfered with a chaser to make it easier for Isaac Gordon lost ball here from [Applause] Stapleton camera supporters turned out in big numbers we're looking at the crowd here prob 26,000 capacity crowd watching their team but Gus made the point it's a good point it's still only 106 it's still only 106 against the Grinders yeah the big crowd we did the pre-match panel down near the sideline down there and they were very very vocal not even Melman iner could ask them to be quiet pump ready for their Sunday afternoon they love Sunday afternoons down here rabits Thompson now kroer back for Leroy [Applause] L very good now 16 is Nichols in the black head gear close to the line three tackles and here's barck and he'll have a dig he's over the line he's forced back did he get it down he's got the ball way out the back macron off the ground got to to Pali Pali scores papali he has scored for camra and again mcon play the part and a great TR for the Raiders to score four minutes out from halim taking advantage of a konala mistake with ER from both teams in their own danger zone sha ban here it's reward for perseverance goes at the line keeps pushing gets pushed back but remains alive tosses it out the back and McCone short ball to papali in the space be a very important try this [Applause] [Music] afternoon [Music] [Applause] so there's the tri scorer Josh pepali after determination personified by beran and then an alert an Ever alert Josh mcro to give Jared ker this shot for goal it's amazing that allowed beran to get that ball away because that's the one thing you'd be looking to lock up when he's over your TR line so the offload was a a real error there by the sharks so here's the kick from Kroger it's hit the upright and gone through so a further two points on the board for Cambra 16-6 everybody's happy in that Eastern grand stand picture we're taking for parley the tri scorer Andrew Johns on the sideline yeah great attacking weapon of the modern game and luno replay the late offload so hard to defend and this guy with the ball Josh mapal just keep an eye on him the rest of the game he's a future Superstar what a player comes from Orland he's 20 years of age he played junior football with Logan Brothers and I think that's the home of Cameron Smith I'm just amazed the Sharks allowed beran to unload that ball I mean he's over your TR line the one thing you've got to get a hold of is the ball sloly work there scor the score is now more reflective rabbits isn't it of what we're saying nichs beran mron morrris and Robson have got him I've always had high regard for sha beran he he's only small and he's been rotated by coaches pretty much all over the park I can remember him playing centers many times I think for Brisbane and Wayne Bennett but he he's he's equally proficient doesn't matter where you play him this is Matthew right tried to outstep Gogan but Dogan was ready for it quick play the ball no markers they got to be back 10 then and Gordon it is with the ball Shan beran tells a funny story about that with r Bennett R Bennett told him he was a center and he told him he was a five and he told him he was a hooker and he come said you're not a hooker you're a center [Applause] G unloading the ball and he's hurt PA he's hurt Wade Graham hey hey hey and he have collided so it's been an uncomfortable afternoon for the Sharks Captain that's him in distress again on the ground and I think I think it was a collision with Wade Graham Andrew you're sitting on top of that almost yeah this was close to me the thud was phenomenal the noise of it and it's Pap and gallon they've been going at each other all this first half I'm sure that there's a challenge put to to papali from David ferer to take on gallon in all half he's been aiming at gallon putting it on him but the thud well he rocked Paul gallon there he didn't help himself much either that slow replay shows barley in a bit of pain himself but he blindsided him didn't he be careful mate actually came up behind him and hit him in the back did you hear Paul Gallen said he said to Tony Archer he said he's got me twice and I'm going to get him back and there's nothing you can do about it and Tony Archer said you be careful G said he's got me twice I'm going to get him back and he de said pull the gun on him with he with his back turned that time and that's not meant to be a knock for papali but if the coach gave him instructions he's taking he's taking it right through with the ball keep of D and M cleans up when when he went through there gallon he just pushed papali in the back too he was sledging him right up to that kick oh don't go away look out for the second half C gon's chasing papali right the sheriff gallon chasing down the fugitive Papa well at halime it's 16-6 everything is going rosily if you follow the Raiders 16 to6 at the break CRA coming back getting a an enormous reception I wish I wish I had a little bit of an interest in these green flags that they've sold just 10% would be enough they were very busy at the merchandise shop before the game long cues out there the fans are here for their home semi-finals so far the team is doing it well at 166 but let me tell tell you the Sharks will graft away here and the Raiders can switch off just as quickly as they switch on this is not over and the big thing is gall's after papali he's he's nominated he said I'm going to get him called the referee though J he said I'm going to get him he called the referee now Dugan it is that kicks off to the second half not a big kickoff like we've been seeing so far today here's gallon coming back Bali says you looking for me are you looking for me here I am right up in your face and then they get together and they brushed each other and they they they said something that wasn't pleasant now best when gon ran the ball up he did a right at left hand turn to find papali he had to look along the line and said there he is and just zeroed in straight at now for fer and he'll play the ball for konala just outside the 30 m line so we keep an eye on that little individual confrontation John Morris taking it up towards halfway the sharks with enough experience to just hold themselves together and get back in this one Shand Earl has got obviously a scalp wound he brings that ball back scored two tries one of them one of them was just a sensational finals try and damee Tils it is now that goes down to ground 8 m short of halfway his own into the park and now Tom Leroy Liv so Tom which might be an easy way to call him than Leroy BL effort to get that big moniker of his out played then by Thompson and Away goes beran and beran has put the ball down behind him referee said knocked out six more ball on the ground and no not back off them it's a knock on camera knock that's what I was waiting for knock back yeah I did but it went back off them so we're going to play a knock on You by get the loose head and Fe well I think they got the call a little too late they' got six again they rushed it they didn't have to they were totally in control beran straight up the middle of the play the ball here looking holding the ball out in one hand he didn't even touch the ball there the Sharks player he knocked his arm see that Carney bang straight on the arm beran drops the ball was a knock on against Raiders should never have been six again the way out so the shots Gordon tackled inside the 30 m line by Tom Williams and this is the center that scored first try of the game lelli now FAA running it at the 14 14 running at 14 and Fida is like a giant compared with J ban now there is G going ahead and offloading and Graham it is that links up so Wade Graham playing the ball for John Morris one-handed pickup takes G with him got the ball away and with it is Gordon Gordon to play it 15 out from the CRA line Carney Carney fires a pass out to lelli and he is able to get the ball back down but it's picked up then by cra broker now for re Robinson Robinson inside 30 middle of the ground sharks chancing their arm there on the last tackle opting to run it did well to close it down and the move that a number of clubs have brought into their Arsenal now the Outside Inside ball South got their first try and only try against Melbourne last night Ferguson that is Mone out of d using D ch right on the halfway tackle five as Withers Baran goes to mcro MCR goes through hands Ferguson does he know it's the last go they've lost count well he's got to know said that before there's no excuse whether you're a front rower a fullback or the normal kicker of the football you've got to know where you are in the tackle count and he had a little bit of time after he received the ball to get a kick away fer is with it now for crenella so they came up with cheap possession and now they get a penalty Kella slow there and you slow into there Tom get up it's against Leroy L here you go mate too slow Cary drives it over into square of konala supporters sitting adjacent to the 20 met line over on the Eastern side time out we get the second ball cleared off the ground and John Morris now takes the T and it's Jeremy Smith with the ball Jeremy playing at just outside the 20 M line rubs and turns it Ina and Andrew will play it 12 M out the Sharks Maris gallon oh it's gone to gram and then gone forward off him and here's Dogan trying to get it back but if he doesn't it won't matter it'll go back to the knock off I'm not so sure why Wade Graham played at this because they had numbers mate just watch his play White grah there they had numbers and if they miss Wade Graham I'm sure they' have had numbers around on the outside look at that they'd have had three on two if Wade Graham lets it go they're looking to see whether not papali hits Wade Graham late but with with Graham's looking for the ball it's only a bump from papali that's a nothing no a bump to the front would cause more problems for w gram he's got the big chest guard on got a bad sternum Jeff Jeff don't D away there was an opportunity at this level at this time of the year they need to take them that's the side where they get you know they've looked dangerous here a couple of times and Pa Gallum works that play they can get them down that side Ellen just gave papali a little reminder there down on the ground just rubbed the forearm across the face and give him a little massage Pap prob took a like a gentleman play the ball papali he was tackled by gallon again then by the way it's interesting to watch this if you have the time to just Divorce Yourself to that part of the game MCR quickly across the line fence him forward pass just like pass forward fourth tackle that's a bit silly from the Raiders there they got a 10-point lead they've just been under pressure he objects to get the ball to the other end of the field not come up with another error invite the Sharks back into the game canra Stadium it's it's a it's a city of 350,000 people I think and out here you would know whether you're sitting out just outs on the outskirts of parks or dubo or one of those country towns there gum trees everywhere look at it it's it's just a beautiful locality and we're sitting just on the edge of CRA the national capital as the Raiders try to make next weekend against South Sydney played by Gordon this is Graham with the ball he's taken down 30 m away from the canra line Morrison 16 goes to Gordon in 23 20 out from the right 20 in from touch eastn side the ground now with no sunshine on it it's away from Connie and gone to buya held K struggling plays it Morris sweeps it Connie his then he hit out the top by fences he getting up from getting up he's he's that leg's gone on him it's gone from Robson now to gallon Gall de B got it away might be forward but Graham will score the referee hasn't stopped it yet Graham has scored and Chris James points to the spot and Carney is coming off for grala yeah all happening they get the try but they lose one of their main Playmakers but it's been obvious for the 48 minutes that Todd has not been right but the Sharks needed to score next and they have and it was down their left side attack right side defense staggered cber fense it was pretty ordinary line there Wade grahe able to step back on the inside improve the position he going to be [Applause] TI to W Graham as we see to Leading [Applause] F so back at canra and uh a couple of very very much important points in this game firstly konala will put themselves back in this fight big time but they've lost Todd Carney he's gone for the day I would think probably gone for the season stapon takes the kick at goal and he makes no mistake he reefs it into the crowd it's 16 to 12 50 minutes gone Raiders over sharks Andrew yeah you see that he killes go under hand coming off he said to the doctor it's snapped so that's bad news what's the jumper for Here Blake Ferguson his eye just goes off Wade gra for that 1 seconda replay which NES Colin best go through that's a pet player gallon and they back to sharks that's the play they used earlier where ra gr dropped the ball they keep going there they'll get points Robson using Gall and gallon will play the ball 12 M out he's lost the ball he's lost the ball and I see people patting p on the back and of course Paul Gallen is the man that put it down scrum will go down 15 away on the 20 yeah I don't think Josh had a lot to do with the tackle but he was in the vicinity these players have picked up what's going on it's actually the knee of shandor Earl that does the damage together come together he give it a little nudge there shandor got away with it so cber now chance to retaliate immediately and it's out to kroer and kroer is shouldered by makua and rattled up by Graham and put down by Graham andya oh gee they hit him with a lot of vigor aggression now it's come away and it's gone away to Tils and Tils is battered around there by the Sharks they're on their own line they' got a muscle up and it's gone away to mcon and mcon goes away Williams on papaly with the ball H playing it to Dugan Dugan leisurely back to Williams and then to Shillington play the ball to beran and beran Defence him on the run around and a dummy and and a dummy and then kroer and lelli is able to make the tackle together with some help from Graham this is the last for the Raiders CR they go that pinpoint kick and they go up and they come down and the sharks have got the ball and best has got a bit of space in front of him they come across in cover and shut him down through William stapled him good defense from the sharks they were stretched on both sides of the field but again they've held in we look at the scoreboard again they're only fall behind they'll grind home they'll keep coming a lot of space there for John Morris to run from dumm gallon is taken by Tils now fenon an assist Jeremy Smith put down just outside the 30 five tackles gone for the Sharks and Robson he puts a kick up for his Blindside runers duan's underneath it who did it come off who did it come off off dug it's off Dugan and R have been played at well he had to play at it they were coming through he had to play at it there's a big chance for the Sharks to go to the front now that's a great place to put a kick you put the man in a no- win situation lovely kick from Jeff Robson in a game with Todd Carney leaving the field he'll be getting much more of the football Wade graah will slop into the Carney position he's played 258 in his relatively short first grade career they're on their heels here the Raiders just sense a little bit of sit back and look Graham put down on the 10 m line no stranger to this 58 position and moris back for Gallen Gallen on the charge gets it to a couple of met put down by Dugan help from Baran morz do forer and theer backing up into the pads Mars again way the Robson is in Robson Jeff Robson scores for the ja be tackle for we're going upstairs just to make sure there was no obstruction but this was set up by the previous two plays big men crashing at the line and the defense just not being able to get set quick enough on the back of that the theer attracted four Defenders see them getting Shrugged off their offens and was back into his own in goal and then jeffre Robson Jeremy Smith goes through he puts the shoulder into a canra player this may well be no try Dane tills I think is a man who puts his arms up he comes back into the hole where tills would would be yeah yeah they'll they'll turn this down you would think if a ruling we saw earlier this weekend is reapplied it is reapplied no try Crow it's going to be big of Rel the make any of effort and he said it was a attraction I think that was pretty cut and dried there I mean Smith ran into the line and just took PS out and that's the the Gap that Robinson went to and it all looked a little bit too easy didn't it well it's consistent with what we've seen of late and that's well we saw it on Friday you did we saw it on Friday I've got no drama with that and I made the point on Friday this is not like running around behind one of your own players this is a matter of somebody taking a man in the line out or inconveniencing him or impeding him and then you run back into the hole where he was or would have been in a position to maybe make the tackle I can understand that and I think most people can here was fening I think they're on top of the top the moment the Sharks even though they're behind and this is the sort of finish they wanted the real dog fight that suits their style better than the Raiders Williams back to D going on to kroer gets a away from lelli he now runs a half circle back to the middle of the ground and runs into Jeremy Smith not a good idea when you've got him and fora both lying on you and Koker is Hurt No coming out to watch the rest of the game on the sideline already on the crutches and Jared krer may have been hit High here did he not have an Achilles problem coming into the game I mean he heard his Achilles last week and they said they injected it yeah that's what we heard I should say in your microphone which might be a good idea um new to television he new to television the first year in the in the business a good job Jeremy Smith may have wrapped him around the neck and the replays probably going to suggest your camber will get a penalty out of this or have they already made their call yeah it'll be a penalty Jeremy Smith's High tackle on Jared kroer now at 162 it's hard contact it's hard contact it's on report they about everything go their way everything we're getting BLS hit in the back L High tackles none of it none of it get like that that's B tackle penalty yeah I understand that and he's hitting High I understand what you're saying we'll call it as we give us something mate everything's well Paul gallon got a penalty like that awarded in the first half he went down and and papar got him high and he got the penalty Koger got hit high so he he's down and the video refere three rules the penalty so I just would hate to think that one of those decides a Premiership one day I meant to do this a Tad earlier um kroak is going to take the shot so I've got time just these details at halim when leading at halim the Raiders have won seven from eight and they turned at the halfway mark with a 16-6 lead you know talking of halfway mark at the halfway mark of the competition they were second last on the ladder with a record of only four wins and eight losses and since that time they've won nine and lost three it's been a remarkable turn [Applause] around C of reading the papers when's David ferer going to get the sack suddenly they're here look at this here is croker from in front and he doesn't make any mistakes he takes it out to the converted try margin of breaking back stay [Applause] [Music] [Applause] behind that is the first tackle since the restart of play and 12 me out from the candle line now 20 M out with Shillington right back to beran and now it's going away to is that Thompson or Ferguson it's Thompson and that's gone beran back to Shillington so beran and Shillington getting it out to the 40 m line they've used up four it's 181 12 rivers in front of the Sharks fening is with the ball driving with the fs taking it to halfway they come Blind Side for Williams he puts a kick into a nice space and it finds the line Freddy fitler with a Gess down on the sideline thanks Rie um let's talk about your Achilles lead into the game how was the PRI of the game yeah it was pretty sore um I wasn't just had to get a needle and uh got another one Hal time and then just felt like someone shot me in the an so hopefully it's not too bad and uh I don't know what about the dock of 181 12 is still 20 minutes to go if you get a win you a chance to play next week you think um just have to see out guys um get SKS tomorrow and hopefully if we get a winning uh fingers passed right thanks for your time TR winning the scrum and you would have heard a a grown go up from the crowd during that interview C crowd they they've got long memories and they're not going to give up that Gro was against Todd car's pictures coming up on the big screen sharks get through and I I hope I'm wrong but he'd be 100 to one 100 to1 to play and I think that'd be 100 to1 to pick him as I was going to make the point he wasn't really he wasn't doing anything here today they're probably given the Cary we're talking about in this match today they're probably better off the way they are with robs him and gram and yeah it was Brave for him but needling Achilles tendons it's got a bad record and here's a light tackle on the kicker light tackle from CRA on the kicker well I don't know about this one th off he can't pull out of that he's kicking he got a tackling he's saying hasn't used any arms Gus he hasn't got arms wrapping around like he had his hands out to stop the ball like a like a legitimate tackle I I I tend to think you're right I tend to think you're right I'm just telling you what they're looking for they're looking for like trying to make a legitimate tackle if that decided the Grand Final we'd all be sick Gibbs Gibbs is 5 m away he'll play it in front of the uprights and here come the sharks with stopping propping and then putting it back on the ground for Graham play by way gram and Gall decides to have a go on The Blind Side himself taken by the head gear and now from buya through Graham long to Smith and Smith cut down good tackle fence him dummy half Morris keeping the rep going Robson on the left goes behind one Gordon beston ster Fon State Fon has scored for grala to get back within a couple well the last pass has gone a yard forward well that's certainly what the cber Raiders were calling for they've gone down that left hand side again good quick hands set play second man let's have a look at this last one that's forward it's gone a yard forward this will show it from the hands of Colin Best Way Forward will Breon come [Applause] [Music] [Applause] back so back at cber the TR scorer legitimate try or not it's on the board Stapleton will attempt conversion of his tribe which seemed to be a blatant forward pass which raises the question again why can't they intervene why can't they tip the why can't they have an inut they shouldn't have to right the linesman's right there anyway this is the sort of game the Sharks wanted 20 to go a chance to level it up they're right where they want to be the Sharks the Raiders won't like this stap in from the sideline he's hooked it too much so it's a two-point ball game it's 1816 Andrew sideline yeah this A variation of the other play last time they hit Colin B on the short ball in the ker repl this time they play it the back to Gordon beautiful hands here s catch and pass although it's gone for 2 me it is beautiful hands you got to say the linesman's in terrible position here he should be in line right with that play with that chem is he's out of position very poor decision he was close enough but as we said earlier if they keep going with that play down that side of the field they'll score tries here's tupo down there by Nicholls and Shillington CRA 18 minutes of the game to go leading by two tupo plays the ball hesitating me that's lelli playing it for Morris and morrris to Smith and Smith behind G and going to BR and on it goes to best and best it is who play the ball to Stapleton 10 m into campas area gr to Gallen Gallen running at fenon taken to ground so this is the last for K that With Robson and he puts a kick in that goes down towards the side line and chander did well he took it and then he headed off in field Under The Tackle of Stapleton that's a pretty de set after scoring points and now they back it up with some strong defense led by Bryce Gibbs Nathan slavon forced Earl back towards his own Line This is a third tackle and dgan had to reach for that Dugan will he do something spectacular in the final quarter of this game they're right on top the Sharks the ra the Raiders just don't know what to do here being two in front I don't whether to play or just hold on to the ball fingon L tackle then just outside the own 20 and Bugan gets a kick away it's come down there to Stapleton Stapleton is tackled a couple of meters on cber side of halfway the player that went in to try and shut down the Bo and kick John Morris John Morris is back back in the play and in a bit of pain but here come the Sharks again 33 M away Robson for gallon Gallen he pushes away from beran and then it goes to ground now it's on the ground and CRA get the loose hit of the Fe well that's important for the Raiders but what's more important is what they do with the ball in this set of six they've got to show some signs of being positive you would have to think they've got to score another try or two to be sure of winning and they're not quite sure what to do with this narrow lead from the time they got six points in front and now two points in front their time with the ball's been very negative here he is is Dugan with the ball now to the middle of the ground pulled down desperately by lelli here is Shillington driving it ahead another 15 M now they're 35 M away beran goes to Nicholls Nicholls in the black head gear he'll play it 30 m out from the line tackler was Gallen Now Thompson he beats one that that was Wade Graham and now they're 15 out from the line four tackles gone against the Green side and it's gone with William com across the park he got a decoy and then he gave it to MCR he gives it back to papali and papali looks to get rid of it but he goes to ground nine outs last tackle for oh for Williams to knock it on referee said no went backwards put the kick on it stapon marks it it'll come out or did he leave the field of play here he's pointing to the upright he's pointing line drop out he was right there he was right there excuse me and he's saying he left the field to play he definitely did they've got this spot on had a a good call there with the the pass here rer have been gone backwards knocked back from Sam Williams and that was a good call too when you watch it on replay and look where ston takes off from well in the field of play and they got that right as well clear it's a shame somebody could not have seen the forward pass earlier on but anyway maybe we need some more officials Nicholls will play the ball now he's on a onean crusade in defense Bry Gibs Williams for Thompson Thompson running with purpose and here goes kroer inside the 20 left foot and then he runs into John Morris he's not a bad block to run into at the moment cuz he's a bit Ginger he's a little bit Dusty now from but's now mccr and here's Pap storming onto the ball will play it for butus but it was hesitant and now Fenson Fenson got it away Nicholls got it away Williams gets it on here's Thompson here's kroer kroer pull down desperate tackle stop the try for sure Matthew right this is the last t play it well it was good attack excellent defense especially after the offload they they appeared short of numbers out here when this ball came out the back in fact they were short but they they covered it up well some good decision making on the outside and he gets hurt oh accidentally falls into the knee of Jason bua Ball carried Jason kroer and don't you love calling papali no you do what tackle is this is this the last tackle I think this is five they need to come up with a the right option here had time to think about it I know it's easy with hindsight and yes it's easy to be a grand stand jockey but I'm wondering what goes what goes down with Dugan on that left wing screaming for it when Jared decided to step off his left foot and go back in yeah yeah you play it's tackle five he's not going to be able to play the ball and they're going to get Thompson to play it last tackle last T Tony Tony Archer reinforcing it I think he's gone kroer he's gone and butus gets it back Williams puts a kick in coming after it is Ferguson yeah Fergus yes I told you it was a day for him to near put all the eggs in the one basket he wanted to come here cuz he thought they could give them a Premiership or give him a Premiership and Ferguson has scored well I'm amazed at how much time he had he gets beyond the crala defense and then has time to turn around and wait for the ball to come down in his lap Sam Williams kicks Ferguson gets through they tried to pull him back and he's very good in the air the thing here he didn't even have to jump hardly like Ferguson well can we have a look at the onside again from the wide shot he got a real flyer here Ferguson it's poor defense from the Sharks but I'm thinking Ferguson was very close to offside let's have a look he's way out there on the right now I'm saying he's in front he's in front no risk in the world he's in front oh de I I think I think you're drawing a very fine Str he's in front oh you're drawing a fine strw and obviously with Jared Kroger leaving the field New goal kicker Josh Dugan steps up I I thought he was good enough in relation to the kicker I thought he was offside the Yi B is starting to come out in you a little bit I thought he was off you liveing the sh I mean playe you're drawing very fine well after being on the end of a forward pass they probably deserved a favorable call yeah but I got to call him in the line here now croak is off so Jos Dugan's got to do the kicking he has to get this through the post there it goes and he's missed it there you go it's not over yet 22 play 16 so we're back we're back to the converted try Andrew this was actually a Mis kick by Sam Williams normally lean those Kicks On the Line got to say it's his weird defense there but he's a Target is he Blake Ferguson he can climb in the air you're right G Jared Kroger he's off T's gone for the game you can see from the look David fer when we took a shot as this has gone too deep oh this is a penalty back of the middle well they've been flirting with these big kick offs here today and finally one of them has given a penalty I was about to say you could see from the reaction of David ferer he knew how important that missed conversion from Josh Dugan could prove he won't believe his luck now that his side has got a penalty restart from the kick going dead all right with 11 minutes to go we are we in field goal territory here for is getting close Leroy Liv Shing his way up inside the 30 m line to be B by Gallen and here is Nichols trying to step a player but he's wrestled down there by Bryce Gibbs and Jan Smith ball played to bis he's got Williams with him oh he do it wind and butus will store will butress is has crawled over he scored he scored butas has scored to canra a worm like try well what a mistake from the kickoff You' think the ball would be down the other end of the field and the Raiders come up Glenn butus again proving that the most dangerous man on the field is the one carrying the football completely overread here by the konala defense he scoots out when he saw there was only one marker through the dummy Jason beua fell for the dummy Jeremy Smith also couldn't react quickly enough and on The Kino replay you'll see how good it looks from front on LY butra sliding through slipping over close to the line he was ankle tapped by Gordon but close enough to reach out was like one of those bad dreams you're having where you're running away from the Boogeyman and you you're trying to get there but can't get there you're falling over and stumbling and shot of stapledon I just pardon me for interrupting gu a shot of depression the depression on the face of Nathan Staples yeah well this is the season all the work everything you've tried so hard for and work together for coming down to these final moments and canala have given themselves almost an impossible assignment On The Run of play at the moment Bugan then this one he's HED good but he hasn't got it around enough so he's had two and he's missed two Andrew sideline 2616 but has told Josh Dugan just can't kick it unfortunately Glen bnus takes off look at the support play here especially from Sam Williams look at that that's great play the dummy half takes off doesn't matter what's on the outside everyone's got to push forward and support great play batterers the great support play Raiders Joe picker actually ex what he oh he's offside this fellow I think on a moment wow theyve said play on that's Thompson with the ball I thought it came off a radar and went forward to him now they've restarted The Tackle count so they're telling me that prala have touched the ball so here B this [Applause] again here is Robinson or he's rulle has come off konala that's what he's ruled the krala player has raped his back Graham batting the ball back to a CA player who was able to do exactly what he did it looked to all intents and purposes that had come off Robinson and gone to a play in an offside position I'm glad we went back to that because it was very important that we did played by Pali it's now with mcco it's been a little general they've rolled it it's too big 20 picker that that trial we're going to see it on the on the Reel many times I guess between now and next weekend Glenn but is crawling to the line the BL on top of him there you go I've got one I on he said the heel is not the foot hang on Colin best and he gave the ball up we're going we're going to need a podiatrist he said you touched it with your heel not your foot is a heel part of the foot rebs yes it is well he said you touched it with your heel not your foot oh well I well look gus please I've told you anything below the new is a kick according to the rule book here's dogen picking up loose ball he beat one that was lying on the ground he speared between another couple he's tried for the accelerator and he's pulled down there by Jeremy Smith Doan slow up Williams now fenom Jeremy Smith some contact there with Josh Dugan pushing the the leg up in the tackle that's why Dugan stayed dead down but he's up now most importantly brus here's MC Right Foot Right Foot sing circular run Williams hesitated to go left and he went back in and oh Gibbs Gibbs picked him up and squashed him onto the ground Williams hesitates and now Leroy L then Nicholls Nicholls running it at tupo gallon and uh for the line Smith making the tackle here's the run around no it's a big dummy there from the 17 Leroy L big played and drawn away pass out the they gone out wide the score Ferguson's got two Ferguson has pulled off the Daily Double what a pick up what a in the game for the camber Riders the the crowd is ecstatic it looked to be on out there but the pass from thecon was down low and he's picked this up at speed Blake Ferguson a despondent sharks bench they know their season is gone so you can get ready South Sydney the red and green will play the green I said in the preview before the game on the Cho replay you'll see the skill here to pick this ball up this fell Ferguson does more freaky things on a footy field than any individual I've seen in a long time catches intercepts catching kicks chip kicks and reather he's a freakish Talent all on Instinct if he gets too much time to think about it well anything can happen but when it's just Instinct and reaction he is absolutely brilliant some of the takes he made that wasn't easy at all that was difficult without a player nearby just to pick it up at speed but the very fact that the Winger Stapleton appeared late in his vision nearly got the intercept that makes it even harder to do I watched him run out today when the Camas side came out he ran out he was doing all of the things that he needed to rehearse he catched to Joey on the side yeah and then he he rolled around on the ground like a big hippopotamus out there made love to the grass there for about 5 minutes he he went through an incredible array of of gations I think is the word and Dugan has gone nothing from three first semifinal next Friday night at alons 7:30 Manley versus North Queens land second seminal I think we can say it at 316 rabitos versus Raiders AZ 7:30 Saturday going out oh no he's batted it back did he jump from the field of play no the ref the linesman saying out on the fall another penalty to camra back at the middle you're right mate just relax that player konala player that battled it back is must well that's okay he's left the field of play foot wasn't on the line oh my God that's a bad call by this fellow anyway anyway they' got the penalty cber see when they get it going the Raiders they're dangerous aren't they they lost their way there when the score was tight and it was an arm wrestle and it really suited the Sharks now look at this nich nichels and he through the 20 M line by tupo but has got it away mron is over there calling the tune on the on the right side it's been wonderful today Josh and now buckus he gets it back to papar says his half's partner he's come of Ace this afternoon Sam Williams long ball away to MCR M drifting and he gets to the way levoid L and he is tackled a couple of meters out that's how close they are they're in the middle now theyve come left side Williams Dage and goes over Williams goes over Tom Williams has scored yes he points to the spot Sam Williams I should say scores for the Raiders and that's how they do it they get on a roll they were the team coming into this match that had the most points in them they've got the greater flare and speed and creativity it was just what sort of contest it would be because the Sharks being a spoiling sort of team one of the close nit and in yourf face type type contest but once they get a little bit of possession you see there on the keno replay they're all moving in motion Williams can show the ball pass the ball do what he likes and now he's got canala sharks back on their heels throws the dummy he's been charging it this whole all day and he'll reach out and plant it down Peter's Peter's only just finished giving him a wrap and David ferer goes up Sam Williams we good on both men we just saw big smile from Sam Williams and the coach David ferer we roll the coach to ride that is NRL first grade coaching this young man he's had a couple of shots up in the top grade has it necessarily confirmed it but playing in a Finals game like this it'll do wonders for his confidence now we Croaker out and already we've had one kicker sack himself in Josh Duke and he's had three shockers Blake Ferguson said give me a shot I've never seen him kick before but he can do anything there it goes and he's got none from one that's going to be a problem for them going forward if doesn't play so 10 seconds left on the clock I don't think we're going to get a resumption 34- 16 picker in 15 Thompson in 12 they look across at the crowd in the Gan Lam stand Nicholls in the head gear it's been a wonderful day a capacity crowd at CRA stadium and the Raiders 16 to6 at half time they let the Sharks back into it and then they exploded and have gone away to win 34- 16
