The agony and the ecstasy

A premiership dream shot down in just nine minutes of madness at Suncorp Stadium.

While the Raiders can be justifiably proud of how much they've overcome in 2020 to get this far, bowing out in this fashion will sting for some time.

It's a fond farewell to club favourites Nick Cotric and John Bateman, while the hard work isn't yet over for Cotric and Jack Wighton after being called up to the NSW Blues squad yesterday.

Closer to home, it was a big weekend for Royals after claiming both the men's and women's ACT Rugby Union premierships. Congratulations on a huge achievement.
