Campbell double not enough as Ricky's Raiders reign supreme

Tapine's total haul of 173 metres was all the more impressive given he spent 10 minutes in the bin after throwing a punch in a first-half melee with Titans hooker Aaron Booth. 

Jack Wighton played a key role in the opening try to Matthew Timoko and another for Kris in the second half, while Cotric's first-half double helped Canberra lead 16-12 at the break. 

Brian Kelly and Tanah Boyd each scored in the first 40 to keep the Titans in the game, while Jayden Campbell scored a double off the bench, but the hosts couldn't foot it with the in-form Raiders.

Hudson Young and Tapine each scored in the second half, with Kris scoring a double in between, to cap off a dominant display for the Green Machine.
