Well, that was a hell of a weekend!
Thanks for tuning in for all our live coverage.
See you next week for the semi finals as the Bulldogs face the Panthers and Canberra host the Sharks in sudden-death action.
And breathe
That was peak rugby league.
The heart rate must be through the roof for Raiders and Broncos fans.
Brisbane receive a week off, while the Green Machine will host the Sharks next week.
HUNT CALLS GAME!
BEN HUNT IS THE HERO!!!
The halfback nails a field goal from distance and the Broncos are through the prelims.
What a magnificent 95 minutes of action in Canberra.
"They have won a game that will never be forgotten," Mat Thompson said on Nine.

Fogarty seals it - or not?!
Walsh puts up a bomb and traps Stuart inside his own 20-metre zone.
Fogarty puts up a bomb of his own and Stuart chases through, batting it back for Young who links up with Fogarty and the halfback scores to win the game.
But hold on a minute!
The decision is going upstairs after Stuart is shown to have touched it first.
It's been overturned and the Broncos get the ball.

GOLDEN POINT!
Canberra run it on last tackle and it gets a touch from a Broncos player.
Sasagi takes the tackle and tries to offload it, losing the ball in the ruck - but Klein allows him to play the ball.
They get another few tackles on Brisbane's line, but can't come away with the points as Mariner takes an intercept.
"Someone has to take charge," Andrew Johns said on Nine.
We're heading to GOLDEN POINT!

Young blocks it
Big carry from Young on fourth tackle sets up a field-goal attempt from Fogarty, but he sprays it wide and the Broncos get the ball back.
Walsh takes a shot down the other end, but Young charges it down.
This is absolutely insane!
Forward pass
Shibasaki puts his winger Karapani away down the sideline, but the pass is called back as forward by the match officials.
Replays show it was a line-ball decision, but the right one.
Rookie injection
Kris has been forced from the field for a HIA.
It's not the only change for Canberra either, with rookie dummy-half Pattie injected into the contest for the first time all day and replaces Starling.
'Spell-binding'
Brisbane can't come away with points as Walsh kicks it cross-field for Staggs.
The centre and Kris come down hard and the Raiders flyer is a little bit worse for wear.
"This is spell-binding," Mat Thompson said on Nine.
From the final play of the first half in extra time, Walsh throws a cut-out pass that is deflected by Stuart, saving a potential linebreak or even a try.
High drama at GIO Stadium!
