A try late in the half to Matt Frawley allowed Canberra to take a 12-6 lead to the break.

The Raiders carried their momentum into the second half, going the length of the field in back-to-back sets to extend their lead to 22-6 by the 48th minute.

David Fale kept the Panthers alive with a try in the right-hand corner in the 56th minute, which Kurt Falls converted to reduce the margin to 10.

They cut the deficit to 22-18 with more than a quarter of an hour remaining when Mavrik Geyer grubbered for himself to score under the posts, however the Raiders managed to hold them out for the remainder of the game.

It was a double blow for the Panthers, also falling short in Jersey Flegg, 14-6.

The Raiders opened the scoring in the eighth minute through former Panther Delahia Wigmore, with Keahn Skipps converting to give them a 6-0 lead.

It looked like that would be the only points of the half, however an obstruction penalty against the Panthers shortly before the break put the Raiders in range for Kane Rushton to score, giving them a 10-0 lead at half-time.

They wasted no time after the resumption in scoring their third try, with Skipps taking their lead to 14-0.

Errors and penalties cost the Panthers any chance of a come- back, with Timothy Sielaff-Burns scoring their only try seven minutes from full-time. Joseph Nohra converted to make the final score 14-6.

In Round 19, Jersey Flegg take on Cronulla at Henson Park on Saturday afternoon, while NSW Cup enjoy the bye.
