Lightning stops NRL game between Souths and Bulldogs
Lightning has forced South Sydney and Canterbury from the field at Accor Stadium, in the first time weather has stopped an NRL game in more than a decade. Referee Adam Gee ordered South Sydney and Canterbury off around 4.40pm on Sunday (6.40pm NZT) with the Bulldogs leading 18-0 in the 31st minute. Lightning had struck nearby twice before the stoppage, with the second flash prompting audible gasps from the modest crowd. Soon beforehand, security had ordered patrons in lower seating areas to take cover as rain teemed down. ADVERTISEMENT Sideline commentators and ground staff also fled the field with the players. The stadium DJ played the classic rock hit Rain by Dragon, making light of the situation. Two young fans took advantage of the situation and rushed onto the field, prompting a small army of security guards into action on the sodden turf. Soon before 5pm, the referee determined in consultation with venue management and ground staff that play could resume imminently, with players to be afforded two minutes of warm-up time before the resumption. It was the first time since Anzac Day in 2015 that a match had been paused due to weather, with hail forcing St George Illawarra and Sydney Roosters off that day. Before that, the last time weather interrupted a game was in 2009. The Bulldogs dominated the early exchanges of round 15's final game, with Toby Sexton scoring the first try as he fights for his spot in the team's halves.

Raiders star's crybaby taunt amid ‘grub' antics in win over Warriors
New Zealand Warriors fans were left cursing Joseph Tapine for his antics in Canberra's fiery 16-10 win in Auckland on Sunday. In a clash between two top four teams, there was no shortage of disciplinary errors with referee Adam Gee giving out three sin bins in the game — to Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad of the Warriors and to Canberra's Corey Horsburgh and Tom Starling.

A try to Jamal Fogarty in the 62nd minute broke the deadlock and the Raiders survived the dying stages with 12 players to hold on for the win, which broke the Warriors' five-game winning streak and moved Canberra into second on the NRL ladder. Gee had his work cut out as both teams looked to delay the play the ball with plenty of ruck infringements, and Tapine was lucky not to be sin binned in the first half. The Raiders captain gave away a penalty for an illegal crusher tackle on and got a talking to from the referee, but was allowed to stay on the field. Hearing the boos of Warriors fans, Tapine mocked them by giving a crybaby gesture to the crowd, which you can watch in the video above. Late in the game, he assisted a teammate in a tackle and his shoulder made contact with Leka Halasima of the Warriors. Tapine is set to be come under scrutiny from the Match Review Committee and NRL fans couldn't believe he wasn't sin binned during the game. Jamie Wall wrote on X: 'Joseph Tapine putting in one of the all time heel gold performances tonight.' One fan said: 'Why is Tapine playing like this, why is he a grub all of a sudden lmao.' Tapine and hooker Starling face nervous waits after being placed on report. For Tapine, two incidents will come under scrutiny after earning the ire of referee Adam Gee for a crusher tackle on Marata Niukore early on and a shoulder charge on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in the final five minutes. Tom Starling made matters worse for the Raiders with the game on the line, after he was sin-binned for a high-flying charge at the head of a kicking Chanel Harris-Tavita. Raiders young gun Savelio Tamale could also be seen screaming expletives at the Warriors faithful as the fulltime siren sounded. Despite all this, as well as a first half riddled with ill-discipline, the Raiders did enough to hang on against a desperate Warriors in a frantic final two minutes. The game looked lost to the Raiders early with the Warriors hellbent on joining the Bulldogs atop the NRL ladder, but the green machine would do enough to wrestle back the advantage. Jamal Fogarty's runaway try in the 64th minute coincided with a Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad sin-bin and proved the difference by game's end. Ricky Stuart leapt to the defence of his 'aggressive' Raiders team despite two late brain snaps almost costing them a vital win over the Warriors. Stuart warned the game would be treading a fine line if they were to hand out suspensions in the aftermath of a brutal contest that was impacted by torrential conditions. 'We can't discipline aggression. Our game and our broadcasters promote aggression. We must be real careful that we don't scrutinise aggressive actions in a game that is moulded on pure aggression and passion,' Stuart said. 'I'm not promoting foul play, I'm dead against it. But there were a lot of accidental high shots and that's all part of it, they're penalties, but the match review committee can't go out there and bash players for aggression because we need it in our game to maintain the entertainment.'
