Tongue's final home game. Penrith spoiled retiring Raiders skipper Alan Tongue's final game with a gritty 19-18 victory last night. A 79th minute Canberra try ensured a grandstand finish but a controversial decision to not award a penalty in the dying seconds denied the Raiders a potential match-winning 50m penalty shot.
Panthers 19 (L. Walsh, B. Tighe, D. Simmons tries; Walsh 3 goals, field goal) Raiders 18 (J. McCrone, A. Tongue, M. Picker tries; J. Croker 3 goals).
