Hynes states claim for Origin with perfect performance as blood-thirsty Sharks devour 'embarrassed' Raiders
Nicho Hynes has not quite made an undeniable case to be Nathan Cleary’s halves partner for NSW but he should be the first five-eighth…
The Canberra Raiders finally clicked into gear and secured a commanding 46-6 victory over the Wests Tigers on Sunday.
The first half was a well-contested affair and the Tigers certainly had their chances to post points against Canberra, but they really lack a clinical edge in the halves to take advantage.
Canberra meanwhile took a while to click into gear, but when they did, they never looked back as their star players put the Tigers to the sword.
Despite the big win, the Raiders still need to improve if they hope to beat Brisbane up at Suncorp next week.
If both teams show up with their best this Friday, it could end up being one of the games of the season.
The Tigers meanwhile are back at Liechardt Oval and face the Melbourne Storm next Sunday.
With their backs against the wall, can Wests turn their season around against the premiership favourites? Time will tell…
Final score
Canberra Raiders 46
Wests Tigers 6

The Sharks halfback backed it up with a try from a few seconds later, through some more tired Canberra defenders.
The Sharks were scoring plenty of points, but equally impressive was their defence - stopping this near certainty!
After the Raiders hooker bombed a near-certain try, Sione Katoa scored at the other end of the field in a 12-point turnaround.
