Canberra hold out Parramatta 25-12 in round 16 NRL action at Canberra StadiumA much improved Canberra outfit have done enough to edge out Parramatta 25-12 on a cold Saturday night at Canberra Stadium. 
David Furner's outfit were strongest out of the blocks and were dominated the entire first-half in terms of possession and try scoring opportunities.

The wobbliest of scrappy field-goals from Josh McCrone put his side out to a 19-12 lead, before a Nathan Massey chargedown put the result well beyond doubt.
