Raiders score! Refs completely missed it but the Raiders have challenged and the replay shows a clear try! Hurst swoops on another grubber and plants it down just before the dead ball line. Conversion hits the posts and misses. Raiders lead 28-20 after 48 mins.

[Chase94]

Raiders score again! Mago gets the ball close to the line and barges his way over after the Raiders made a great break down field on the previous play. Patrick converts his own try. Raiders lead 34-20 after 56 mins. Rain has returned.

[Chase94]

Bit of feeling coming into the match after some push and shove.

[Chase94]

This match is becoming rather heated. Lots of pushing going on out there and lots of words being exchanged between the teams.

[Chase94]

Wow an Eagle just smashed McIlwrick with a nasty high hit. Off the back of it an Eagle has raced away to score. Raiders are challenging the try for a high tackle/shoulder charge. Try will be overturned and the Eagle is placed on report and is sent for 10 in the bin for giving the ref a a mouth full. Raiders still lead 34-20 with 9 mins left.

[Chase94]

Manly score a try in the final minute but it won't matter. Raiders have been too good today. Taylor gets over for the try in the corner. Knight misses the conversion. Full time Raiders 34 defeat Manly 24.

[Chase94]

Time for the NRL clash today at Brookvale Oval between the mighty Raiders and the Sea Eagles. Conditions are damp on the field with light rain falling during the earlier Holden Cup match and continuing to fall as I type this. Manly kick off and it's game on!

[Chase94]

Manly score first out wide after getting a repeat set close to the line when Milford got a horror bounce and was taken out off a Lyon kick. Hiku gets the try on the wing. Lyon converts. Manly 6-0 after 5 mins.

[Chase94]

Manly score again but it's going to the video ref for possible obstruction. Cherry-Evans steps through the defence and creates a 4v1 against Milford who had no chance of stopping it and Lyon gets the try under the posts. Converted. Manly lead 12-0 after 7 mins.

[Chase94]

Manly score again after getting a penalty that they shouldn't have gotten for holding down in a tackle. Raiders just can't get possession at the moment. Not the greatest start but it's still very early. Converted. 18-0 to Manly after 10 mins.

[Chase94]

Manly score again after they put in a 40/20 and then Watmough barges over. Raiders have only had 3 sets so far. Converted by Lyon. Manly 24-0 after 16 mins.

[Chase94]

Manly score again in the corner. This is a nightmare start. Hiku gets the ball after an overlap was created and gets the try. Lyon converts. Many 30-0 after 25 mins.
