Coach Ricky Stuart has declared a new era of NRL success in the nations capital with Canberra securing a top-two finish with a final-round thumping of Wests Tigers.The Raiders ended the Tigers finals hopes with a 52-10 defeat of the joint venture at Leichhardt Oval before 18,634 fans on Sunday, with hooker Josh Hodgson starring.Canberras regular season points tally, which rested at 688 by games end, eclipses the club record of 677 set by the premiership-winning 1994 side, considered one of the best teams of all time.It underlined the strength of the Raiders performance this year over the premiership rounds as they set up a qualifying final with Cronulla at GIO Stadium on Saturday.I am really happy for the players, they deserve to be there, Stuart said.They have been very consistent this year. It was a professional performance today but another competition starts now.Stuart was at halfback under skipper Mal Meninga in the Raiders star-studded 1994 side, the clubs last title winning outfit.At the start of the year we spoke about creating our own piece of history, Stuart said.It will be good for Canberra and the community. I know what it (success) can do.There will be a really good vibe and it is a great opportunity for these boys to see what is on offer.Hopefully it will build a bigger and stronger supporter base.The Raiders win was built on a 30-4 first half lead in which Hodgson set up two tries and scored one himself.Jordan Rapana and Josh Papalii both scored twice for Canberra. Rapanas first try set up with a incredible swivel-flick pass from Joey Leilua.Jack Wighton was put on report for a second half shoulder charge on Joel Edwards but Stuart said he wasnt concerned his star fullback would miss week one of the finals.After dropping club legend Robbie Farah to reserve grade in July, Tigers coach Jason Taylor had hoped to create his own piece of history at the club this season.But they again failed to return to the finals for the first time since 2011.It is very disappointing, Taylor said.We beat ourselves that is the thing. We just made too many errors.We havent had a game like that for the last couple of seasons.It was unforced error after unforced error. The harder we tried the worse it got.The Tigers would have knocked Gold Coast out of eighth spot if theyd won.You could say the situation got to us but we have been playing under that sort of pressure for several weeks now, Taylor said.Stuart said he wasnt concerned about the Raiders lack of finals experience.Beating the Sharks twice in a month will be a tough ask, he said.Being at home is an advantage and I hope youth and enthusiasm can overcome that lack of experience.

In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford.Australia captain Cameron Smith accepts he will almost certainly wear the green and gold for the last time on English soil this weekend but insists he is not ready to call a halt to his career. The 33-year-old Melbourne hooker will win his 49th cap for the Kangaroos in Sundays Ladbrokes Four Nations final against New Zealand at Anfield, where he will be hoping to preserve an unbeaten record in the UK.I drew one in 2009 at the Stoop against New Zealand - I scored the try with two minutes to go, Smith said. Hopefully that record stays intact. I was aware before we left Australia that this could be the last time I play for Australia in the UK.Thats why I was really looking forward to the game last weekend against England [at the London Stadium]. I always enjoy playing up against England. It was nice to go there and play well and just savour the moment.It was a beautiful stadium, a beautiful day and we got a good result. Thats why I held the team back from leaving the sheds for quite a while.

I havent really looked to the future and put an end date on my representative career.dddddddddddd Its a huge year next year, having a World Cup on home soil.I played in the World Cup in 2008 back home when we lost and that was a pretty shallow feeling, losing that trophy in front of our home crowd.I want to give myself every opportunity to be involved in that next year and after that tournaments finished theres a whole off season to think about continuing on the following year. Im still contracted to the [Melbourne] Storm in 2018. Ill probably think about that after next year.

I love spending time with my family.But as far as playing and being around the team and playing in great stadiums and having victories, its still as enjoyable as when I started back in 2006.Im still excited to get a jersey and have my name read out at the start of each week when Mal names the team. I still feel great. I feel Im as strong and fit as Ive ever been in my whole career.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!
