Raiders hang on in stunning finish; Dragons young gun's defining moment: Big hits.

Mat Feagai made a break and knocked on as he got up to play the ball. “The Dragons are done in 2022. But there was belief it should have been a ruck penalty — especially because Ben Hunt wasn’t square at marker. Jaiyden Hunt nearly the miracle.” Ben Hunt 8. Adam Elliott 14. Elliott Whitehead 13. He then scored his third in the 67th minute to keep the Dragons in the game. As the clock wound down two Dragons players looked to hold a Raider down to slow the play and as a result the Raiders were awarded a six-again. Harawira-Naera looked to have tried to hold Feagai down and the Dragons back knocked on as he made his way to his feet for a play the ball. The home team struck first with a try in the opening minute, only for the Dragons to hit back five minutes later through youngster Talatau Amone, who bagged a hat-trick and set up a try in the 75th minute to keep the game alive.

The Raiders survived a late comeback from the spirited Dragons to escape with a 24-22 win on Sunday afternoon which keeps them in the hunt for the playoffs ...

"We make it hard for ourselves at times, we tend to get the lead and then let teams come back and that's something that we need to fix looking forward but we're just happy to get the win tonight. We were both playing for our seasons and I couldn’t have been prouder of the endeavour and the want in the team but in vital stages we leaked points, 22 should have been enough to win the game. in our most important game of the year I thought he really stood up. After the week we've had, I thought the performance was really good." “Well first I’m very proud of the effort, I thought it was a fantastic effort. An effort play with the ultimate reward.

Canberra Raiders edge St George Illawarra 24-22 to keep NRL ... (ABC News)

With banned coach Ricky Stuart absent from Canberra Stadium, the Raiders edge St George Illawarra 24-22, while Gold Coast snaps a 10-match losing streak ...

Desperate to avoid a second wooden spoon in four years, the Titans raced to their biggest lead of the game with tries to Fermor and AJ Brimson early in the second half, putting them 20 points clear with 25 minutes to play. Walker had only just come onto the field from the interchange bench when he was sent to the sin-bin and placed on report for a high tackle on Titans' winger Jojo Fifita. Adding injury to insult for the Sea Eagles in Hasler's 300th match as Manly coach, flying winger Jason Saab suffered a suspected ACL injury in the second half. The loss removes the Dragons' from the finals equation, having won just one of their past six matches in a disappointing end to their year. "While there's a chance, we'll keep fighting and I just said to the boys we'll just keep punching away." With coach Ricky Stuart banned from attending Canberra Stadium and speaking to his players as part of the fallout from his tirade at Penrith's Jaeman Salmon, the Raiders survived a late scare to finish round 22 one match outside the top eight.

For the most part, the game was a fairly pedestrian affair. He pulls him back over and gets his knee and lower leg (caught in the turf)," Shane Flanagan said in commentary. "There was just one last shot from it. "There was weight on the back of the leg and he was bent back over it." The Raiders flew out of the gate, scoring their opening try in the first minute of the match, before Talatau Amone went back-to-back for the Dragons to give the visitors the lead. The Canberra Raiders have held on for a two-point win over the Dragons in a finish eerily similar to the reverse fixture in round 16.
