Round 21 - Second Half - Live :: August 3rd, 2008 3:00pm
Venue: Suncorp Stadium
Referee: Tony Archer
Touch Judges: Steve Carrall, Peter Kirby
Video Referee: Paul Simpkins
Brisbane Broncos (12)
Tries: Karmichael Hunt, Peter Wallace
Goals: Michael Ennis (2/3)
Canberra Raiders (6)
Tries: Trevor Thurling
Goals: Terry Campese (1/1)
A warm welcome to you on this beautiful Winter afternoon at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, where there is not a cloud in the sky and the temperature is perfect for footy at 19 degrees.
Today sees the Brisbane Broncos (5th place, 25 points) take on arguably the form team of the last month, the Canberra Raiders (8th place, 22 points).
What a great matchup we have to look forward to today. The Raiders are white hot and have been winning games on the back of sensational first up bursts, not to mention their round 14 shellacking of the Broncos (34 points to 16) in the nation’s capital.
The Broncos on the other hand will be looking to set course for a home final and so are desperate for a top four finish.
David Taylor steps up from QLD Wizard Cup duty with the Comets to take David Stagg’s (injury) spot on the interchange, and that is the only change for either side this afternoon.

Teams coming out onto the ground now. Raiders to kick off.
0 min: Raiders tried a short kickoff. Broncos have it though.
3 min: Peter Wallace kicks high on the last, but the ball goes dead, luckily for the hesitant Best and Milne.
4 min: PENALTY - Raiders. Joel Clinton held on for too long in the tackle.
5 min: Peter Wallace takes the Campese cross kick well on the last and the Broncos will work it out from their own line.
6 min: Sensational set by the Broncos, as Darius Boyd busts the defence and runs 40 metres down the sideline. The move breaks down on the next play as Hunt looked to score but couldn't quite make it.
6 min: PENALTY - Raiders. Broncos inside the ten.
7 min: Raiders knock on through Milne, and the Broncos will feed the scrum.
9 min: Touch football by the Broncos ends up with a kick that goes dead. Good interplay between Hodges and Hunt.
10 min: PENALTY - Broncos. Raiders offside. Broncos will attack from 30 metres out.
11 min: Ennis grubber kick on the last is gathered by the Raiders' Henry and that is a pressure reliever for the Raiders.
13 min: PENALTY - Raiders. Sam Thaiday came in as the third man for a bit of push and shove. Silly from the Origin star. Raiders to attack from 15 metres out.
14 min: Carney is tackled on the last and it's a Broncos ball on their own line. Both sides will want to improve their last tackle plays.
14 min: A Lockyer kick rebounds fortuitously for Terry Campese who makes a half bust and the Raiders are on the attack again.
16 min: Broncos dropout after the Raiders kick was helped over the dead ball by Manihera.
16 min: PENALTY - Broncos. Alan Tongue had his hands on the ball in the tackle. The Broncos needed that one.
18 min: TRY Brisbane Broncos
Lockyer passes to Hodges from 20 metres out and Hodges flicks it inside perfectly to Karmichael Hunt who strolls through untouched and plants it just inside the right hand touchline. Conversion attempt by Michael Ennis unsuccessful.
Brisbane Broncos 4-0
20 min: VIDEO REF DECISION - Possible Broncos Try to Peter Wallace. Checking offside and grounding.
21 min: TRY Brisbane Broncos

Brisbane Broncos 12-6
37 min: Sam Thaiday absolutely pole-axes Marc Herbert but the little fella gets back up again, no worries.
39 min: Peter Wallace regathers his own chip on halfway, it was touched. and the Broncos have another six. Eastwood loses the ball close to the line. Letoff there for the Raiders.
HALF TIME
Brisbane Broncos 12
Canberra Raiders 6
What a half of football. Reminiscent of the Broncos and Raiders clashes of the early nineties, with the pill being thrown about to all corners. Look for the pace to slow in the second half, and this is where the little men in Campese, Lockyer and Wallace will come into their own.
Players coming back out onto the ground now.
41 min: Lockyer kicks off and we are underway.
42 min: Forward pass from Ennis at half has the Raiders attacking early on.
43 min: PENALTY - Raiders. Greg Eastwood takes Terry Carney high and the Raiders on the attack again.
44 min: VIDEO REF DECISION - Possible Raiders Try. Ben Jones may have scored out wide and they are checking the grounding.
44 min: NO TRY. Jones was held up in a great Darius Boyd try saver.
