GAME HIGHLIGHTS

What This Result Means:

Raiders move into Week Two with the victory and will host a Elimination Final at Canberra Stadium on either Friday against the Tigers (if Dragons beat Manly) or on Saturday against the Dragons (if Manly beat St.George-Illawarra).

Panthers finished 2nd so they were never in danger of being eliminated in Week One. Should the Dragons win as expected - the Panthers will travel to the SFS on Saturday Night September 18 to play the Roosters. If Manly win - the Panthers will play the Sea Eagles next week again at the SFS or Brookvale.
