Canberra ends Wests' NRLW fairytale in finals shut out
The Raiders have claimed a first-ever NRLW finals win, downing the Tigers 6-0 to end Wests' fairytale season.
Canberra secured their first NRLW finals win by shutting out Wests Tigers with a low-scoring 6-0 shutout at Campbelltown Stadium. Former Queensland State of Origin star Zahara Temara shone brightly during the match, setting up Isabella Waterman's try through a precise pass. Despite Wests Tigers holding a narrow four-point lead for most of the second half, the Canberra No.7 broke the line wide open to lead 6-0.
Temara's management of the game was crucial, forcing two dropouts and keeping the Tigers at bay. With a 10-5 penalty count, Canberra controlled the majority of the game, while the Tigers struggled to find an opening in the second half. The defeat marks a disappointing end to the Tigers' fairytale season, as they had been in contention for a top-two spot before a decisive loss to the Titans.
The Raiders, on the other hand, are making strong strides, defeating the Broncos and challenging top teams like Gold Coast and the Roosters.
