The Dolphins once again gave away their opposition too much of a first half lead, with the Canberra Raiders scoring 18 unanswered points in the first 22 minutes of the game. While the Dolphins gave chase, they couldn’t get the job done, going down 30-31 in golden point time in Wagga Wagga.
Jack Wighton was in tears at full-time. The Canberra star’s decision to leave the Raiders for South Sydney after 14 years was heavily scrutinised and for which he copped racist abuse on social media – nothing changes.
