Raiders force an error off a kick and get a scrum 10 meters out from tigers line.
Video ref Raiders! Picker dives over from dummy half to score. They are checking obstruction from Uiti Baker but it looks fine. Looks like he lost it in the put down tho. No try. Tigers still lead 12-6 after 27 mins. Should have been a try in my view.
Tigers get a penalty and are taking the 2 points. Miller lines up conversion and it hits the post! Tigers get the ball and go on attack.
Tigers force a drop out with 1 min till half time.
Tigers score right on half time through Koroabiti on the wing off the drop out set. Miller takes conversion and gets it. Tigers lead Raiders 18-6 at half time in the Toyota cup grand final. Raiders started well but started to lose the forwards battle after about 15 mins. They just need to get some more go forward and controll the ball better to come back in the second half.
