Raiders collapse in second halfThe Canberra Raiders have lost 22 - 12 to the Newcastle Knights this Easter Sunday.
The Raiders played some great football in the first half and looked like they might have turned the corner in their season.
Unfortunately, the referees and luck were not on the Raiders' side in the second half with the Knights scoring 22 unanswered points.
Defence was also an issue for the Raiders in the second half, which compared to the first half was very poor.
Sam Williams was a standout for the Raiders making over 28 tackles and providing a solid kicking game.
There were also good signs for the Raiders with Josh Dugan making a solid return to the NRL after injury.
