Having finally forced their way into the top eight, the Green Machine must now attempt to consolidate their spot in upcoming games against Melbourne and Manly NRL2021
Both were precariously placed on the edge of the top eight on 18 competition points, with an identical for-and-against of negative 82. They were still deadlocked at half-time and there was still precious little between them when the final siren sounded.
The Raiders have been perhaps the biggest disappointment of the season, but there is still time to salvage it. They again started slowly but recovered in a brutal match that resulted in five players being placed on report. “If we defend like that in the first half, we’ll get beaten by 60,” said Canberra coach Ricky Stuart.Jack Wighton’s form has been erratic this season but he’s still shown himself capable of executing a big play.Jack Wighton’s form has been below the lofty standards he sets himself, but he can still come up with a critical play. When halves partner Sam Williams put up an attacking kick, Wighton came down with it to score.
Other Dragons troops were short of a gallop. Halfback Adam Clune hadn’t played since round six and Zac Lomax since round eight, but both enjoyed bright moments.
