Joseph Tapine's barnstorming bursts up the middle paved the way for the Raiders' upset win over the Storm - and shape as the big danger to the Eels next weekend.Tapine stood like a colossus over the first half and it was largely his influence that gave the Raiders their 16-8 halftime lead.Fitter and stronger than at any stage of his career, the lanky middle forward played the first 51 minutes straight before a brief rest.He was back in the fray when the Raiders powered home in the final stages of the game and racked up an amazing 216 metres in the trenches.
