Wighton inspires Raiders for stunning comeback against Warriors

Jack Wighton’s monster boot and magic touch set up a stunning second-half comeback that saw the Raiders score 26 unanswered points after the break to beat the Warriors 26-14 on Saturday. With his side trailing 14-0 at the break, Wighton struck a pair of 40/20 in the second half, both of which led straight to the try, and put his side in position to record a fourth straight win at home at the GIO Stadium. Corey Harawira-Naera also contributed heavily, with two tries from the bench, while fellow Kiwi great Joseph Tapine cruised to 189 meters in the center of the field. Earlier the Warriors flew out of the gate and found themselves 12-0 up before the Raiders even enjoyed a set with the ball, and after Shaun Johnson’s long-range penalty they took a 14-0 lead at half-time. 599″, “>809”, “>959″]” data-eqio-prefix=”video-post-screen” ref=”root”> Next /

Holding Redlich’s contemporary design approach has been launched in Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra. Now it’s Sydney and Melbourne’s turn. “In short, at Holding Redlich, open-plan and hot desking are out, and offices are in,” he said. “It’s clear from our people’s response that when you have your own office, or a shared office, you are much more comfortable working in an office.” The open layout and hot desk setup are enthusiastically welcomed by large companies, not only because they save space but because they are seen as encouraging team building and creativity.
