After the Whitehead try and Weekes goal Raiders only trail by 12 which doesn't seem to match the run of play.

[Farmduck]

Unbelievable! Try-scoring machine Elliott Whitehead

[Futtocks]

Great balance by Cotric to avoid the whitewash at a dead run like that.

[Futtocks]

Kaeo Weekes looks a bit handy, doesn't he?

[Farmduck]

Weekes missed the conversion

Raiders 22 - 24 with 11 minutes left

[Farmduck]

Saab grounds it but did it come forward off Garrick? Bunker says, "Yes, that's what happened."  No Try

[Graham]

Great comeback from Raiders in this second half .

[Graham]

6 minutes left and all to play for.

[Farmduck]

Did Smothies touch the ball? I think the ball touched him which is the same result.

[Farmduck]

Wow! Raiders hit the front.

[Graham]

Raiders sensationally take the lead with a Young try.

[Futtocks]

Hudson Young gives Canberra the lead for the first time!

[Graham]

26-24 Raiders

 

[Graham]

Weekes goal kick missed.

[Futtocks]

Weekes slices the conversion so we have a 2-point game with less than 3 minutes left.

[Graham]

2 minutes left. Manly struggling and making errors.

[Futtocks]

DCE's attempted 2-pointer fades to the right, and the Raiders have - somehow - won!

[Graham]

Full Time

Manly 24 - 26 Canberra

Wow how about that ? It looked like no hope , unbelievable comeback .  Whitehead a real trooper for Canberra . Just in passing …. Has anyone else noticed that the play the ball rules  seem to have completely vanished in the NRL this year . Endless just rolling it completely ignored . I’m also finding six agains more and more tedious 

[Futtocks]

Young's pass to Manu for that try was a beauty!

[Farmduck]

Took the Broncos 10 minutes of field position and repeat sets to score. It took the Chooks about 2 minutes.

[Farmduck]

with 44% of the ball and only 36% of the territory, Roosters hit the front with a Crichton try + Walker goal

Chooks 12 - 6

[Farmduck]

36min: Crichton gets his second try after a Broncos mistake on halfway

Walker goal

Roosters 18 - 6

[Futtocks]

Arthars off to hospital with a suspected broken jaw after his tackle on Dom Young.
