Wests Tigers'

Canberra Raiders dash Wests Tigers' NRL finals hopes with razzle dazzle win

The Green Machine will host Cronulla in the first week of the finals after Hodgson's brilliance from dummy-half engineered the nine-tries-to-two win at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday before 18,634 fans.

However Raiders full-back Jack Wighton faces a nervous wait after being placed on report for a shoulder charge on Joel Edwards.

Canberra led 30-4 at half-time after completely dominating the first half, with Josh Papalii scoring two tries and Joey Leilua throwing the pass of the year - a 'swivel-flick' while running backwards - for a Jordan Rapana four-pointer.
