NRLW Sunday: Raiders v Warriors; Dragons v Eels

Half-time: The Raiders completed 18 of 22 sets at 81 per cent and had 57 per cent of possession. Lock Simaima Taufa ran for 77 metres and made 20 tackles while Elise Simpson, Bobbi Law and Grace Kemp all made three tackle breaks. The Warriors meanwhile, struggled with disciplinary, making seven errors and conceding five penalties.

30 min: A mistake by Gallagher gives the Warriors a second opportunity in their attacking zone but the Raiders' defence holds firm.

29 min: Raiders forward Hollie-Mae Dodd leaves the field for a HIA.

27 min: A Wiki error hands the Warriors some much-needed field position and hooker Paekau darts out of dummy half to score her first NRLW try. Maliepo converts. Raiders 18-6.

20 min: The Raiders again make the Warriors pay with Temara finding Grace Kemp on the inside to muscle her way over the line. Raiders 18-0.

19 min: Desperate to avoid another set of goal-line defence, the Warriors lose their captain's challenge in an unsuccessful bid to overturn a Patricia Maliepo knock-on coming off her own line.

14 min: The dream start continues for Canberra with Zahara Temara throwing a long cut-out pass for a steaming Bobbi Law who crashes over from close range. Raiders 14-0.

13 min: After defusing another set on their line, the Warriors are on the attack but Tysha Ikenasio puts the ball down.

7 min: A penalty for a slow peel by Capri Paekau invites the Raiders back into the Red Zone and this time the Raiders goes right and Krystal Blackwell throws a long ball which sets up Mackenzi Wiki in the corner. Raiders 10-0.

4 min: A fast start for the Raiders finishing off two strong sets with a left side raid and a spectacular finish from winger Elise Simpson in the corner for the opening try. Sheridan Gallagher adds the extras from the sideline. Raiders 6-0

Late Mail

Raiders: The Raiders are 1-18 with no late changes for Darrin Borthwick who has gone with an unchanged line-up after a first-up win over the Dragons. Krystal Blackwell made her first appearance as a five-eighth last week and will once again partner co-captain Zahara Temara in the halves for the Green Machine, who have won only one of their last 11 games at GIO Stadium. 

Warriors: No further changes for the Warriors after a big shuffle on Saturday with five-eighth Gayle Broughton ruled out with a quad injury while winger Lavinia Tauhalaliku and forward Felilia Kia are also out. Centre Emmanita Paki replaces Broughton at five-eighth. Ocean Tierney makes her NRLW debut on the wing and Natalia Hickling debuts off the bench. Black Ferns superstar Stacey Waaka has been moved into the centres for her first appearance for the Warriors. With prop Mya Hill-Moana suspended for one game for a hip drop tackle, Tonga international Metanoia Fetalaiga moves into the starting front row. Ivana Lauitiiti returns on the bench having served a suspension incurred during the Kiwi Ferns’ Pacific Championships final loss to the Jillaroos last November.

Eels: One change in the 24-hour update, with Fontayne Tufuga coming on to the bench in place of Taneka Todhunter. Young gun second-rower Ryvrr-Lee Alo has been named to start in place of Boss Kapua, who has been suspended for two matches for a careless high tackle. Khyliah Gray fills the vacant bench spot.
