Goat track. Potato field. Cow paddock. And they're the nice things you hear about Brookvale Oval. Sorry, can't repeat the others. Not in print anyway.

Two points. That's all that separates the Canberra Raiders from the top of the NRL ladder. But for a late try to the Brisbane Broncos, they would've been there.

Instead they'll have to settle for third on the back of their 26-22 win at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

If they'd won by six instead of four then they would've jumped ahead of Melbourne and the Sydney Roosters.
