@NRLTweet Game Recap:

Other Game Tweets:#NRL Before people write the Tigers off next week consider this - Robbie Farah kept his big game in the bank & Benji looked very spry.
#NRL Absolutely cracking night at the footy. Crowd into it but very nervous, will be back next year for sure. Great night Canberra, head up.
#NRL Good luck to the Wests Tigers. Still have another level to go to after tonight - they'll give the Dragons a huge fight.
#NRL Gotta feel for Terry Campese... Stamped himself on the game then does his knee. Canberra's season ended then.
#NRL Some utterly woeful refereeing... Again. Why swallow the whistle for long periods only to ruin game at key stages. Hurt both teams too.
