Round 8 LIVE - Raiders vs Sea Eagles @ Brookvale Oval #NRLMANCAN

Manly score again. I cannot explain this, we aren't playing badly it's just we can't get any ball and Manly keep taking their opportunities. B Stewart gets this one and Lyon converts. Manly 36-0 after 30 mins. Raiders just need something to reverse the momentum.

Video ref Manly. Checking grounding. Hiku dives on a Cherry-Evans grubber and looks to have knocked on ever so slightly. Try is awarded however. I have no idea what's going on out there today, we just can't seem to get any quality ball. Lyon converts. Manly 42-0 after 33 mins.

Finally! Something! Video ref Raiders, ref says try. Allwood smashes Stewart and forces the error then Robinson swoops on the ball and runs 80 meters to score. All looks ok to me. Try awarded. Boy we needed that! Croker hits the posts and misses the conversion. Manly 42-4 after 36 mins.

Half time Manly lead 42-4.

Second half is underway, Manly lead 42-4. Hopefully the boys completely turn it around here...

Tupou almost scores in the corner for Canberra but Stewart just gets his boot to the ball to force a drop out.

Raiders score! Croker takes an intercept from a G Stewart pass and races the length to get the try. Jarrod converts his own try. Manly 42-10 after 54 mins.

Manly score in the corner. Hiku gets his 4th try of the game despite a desperate attempt from Croker to stop him. Lyon is off the field with a knee injury so Matai takes the conversion and gets it. Manly 48-10 after 59 mins.

Manly score. If there wasn't proof that it isn't our day already, that try was definitely it. The ball is kicked a couple of times and ends up bouncing back off the posts right into the hands of Taufua who gets the try. Converted. Manly 54-10 with 12 mins left.

[Chase94]

Video ref Raiders, checking touch line. Croker takes a charge down and races down the sideline and dives for the corner but is just taken out. Good effort from Jarrod none the less. No try. 7 mins left.

[Chase94]

Video ref Raiders, checking contest after a kick. Campo bombs across field and Croker bats it back to Tupou who gets the ball to Wighton who dives over in the corner. Try awarded. Milford takes the conversion from the sideline and just misses. Manly 54-14 with 4 mins left.

[Chase94]

Raiders score! McCrone gets a great offload from Shillo after he made a good bust through the line. Conversion missed. Manly 54-18 with 1 min left.
