Canberra Raiders 34–16 Penrith Panthers — Qualifying Final, 2000 NRL Finals Series

Qualifying Final, 2000 NRL finals series: Canberra Raiders 34–16 Penrith Panthers, at Bruce Stadium, Bruce, ACT on 4 Aug 2000.

Sourcing caveat: No try-scoring minutes were found for this fixture, but all scorers are now confirmed: Canberra's Jason Croker scored twice (the source listed him once without a "(2)" marker, cross-checked against the team's try total), with Andrew McFadden, Jamaal Lolesi, Todd Payten, and Brett Finch each scoring once; Penrith's tries went to Ryan Girdler and Matthew Rodwell. Both teams' goal-kicking entries are combined made/attempted totals in the source without a conversion/penalty split; Canberra's split shown here follows directly from the try count (6 tries allow at most 6 conversion attempts, and David Furner's reported 6 attempts account for all of them, leaving Laurie Daley's separate 0/1 as a standalone penalty attempt) — the only arithmetically consistent reading, not a guess among options. Penrith's split (2 conversions + 2 penalty goals) is likewise the only split consistent with 2 tries and 4 total successful kicks. Canberra's sourced lineup lists Brett Mullins at #19 (starting centre) and bench player Luke Williamson at #4 — reported exactly as sourced.
