For the second time this season, the Manly Sea Eagles have beaten the Canberra Raiders in golden point, with Daly Cherry-Evans putting in a man of the match performance at Lottoland.
While it was a Dylan Walker penalty goal sinking the Raiders a month ago, it was a Cherry-Evans field goal this time on the back of a Junior Paulo injury as he attempted to barrel the Raiders out of their own end during the opening exchanges of the extra ten minutes.
Cherry-Evans put in a fantastic audition to take Anthony Milford’s spot in the Queensland Maroons squad if Johnathan Thurston is still injured, guiding Manly around the park all match with perfection.
His first half performance saw them run on four tries, taking a 20-6 lead into the break, before he repeatedly got the Sea Eagles out of trouble during a tense second half.
Backed up by Blake Green and a strong Apisai Koroisau, Manly got off to a barnstorming start, leaving the Raiders in the dust, before the Raiders answered back with two second half tries.
