Undermanned but not uninspired, the Canberra Raiders got one back on the Sydney Roosters when they defeated last year's premiers 24-20 in a grand final re-match.The Raiders entered the match with at least eight of their regular line-up on the sidelineIt was the first time the two sides had met since last year's grand final, the Raiders tackled their way to an upset victory at the SCG.
Josh Papalii's size and agility gave the Raiders the go-ahead try in the 66th minute, as the prop jinked through the defence untouched. With a bloody nose, the Queensland prop laid a forearm around Crichton's face and was penalised in front of the posts for his trouble, allowing the Roosters to go ahead by two points.
Fabulous game by the courageous Raiders against all the odds and bad refs calls!!!!! Rapana gave Keary the best don't argue I have seen for years!!!! Rapana made Luke Keary look like a snotty nosed kid!!!! Go Papali the giant killer!!!!!!
