To a crucial NRL clash for the Warriors in Canberra..

Their path to the playoffs has become even tougher after falling 20 to 18 to the Raiders in the Australian capital - .

After they'd clawed their way back from an early 14-nil deficit - Warriors five-eighth Chanel Harris-Tavita missed a game-tying conversion from almost in front with just seven minutes remaining.



Fullback Taine Tuaupiki was ruled out after failing his HIA in the first half, while centre Adam Pompey left the game with a knee injury.

The result leaves the Auckland-based outfit 12th on the ladder with six more matches to come this weekend - and seven rounds remaining.
