Raiders stay alive in playoffs race

8:35 am on 10 August 2010

The Canberra Raiders are still alive in the NRL semi-final race after a 30-26 come-from-behind win last night over the Penrith Panthers, who've probably lost their chance of winning the minor premiership.

The Panthers led 26-12 at halftime, but the Raiders, brilliantly marshalled by five eighth Terry Campese, had the second half all to themselves.

Their win improves them to 11th place on the table, four points out of the top eight with four games remaining.
