Canberra conjure a comeback as Manly let two points slip

Raiders rally to win at the last minute after trailing 20-0, overcoming the opposition's defense.

League Unlimited

Trailing 20-0 inside the opening half hour before rallying to hit the front with only four minutes to play, the Raiders shone on a rain-soaked night to record only their eight win from 19 appearances at 4 Pines Park in the NRL era.

Coming close to opening the scoring following an audacious chip kick by Daly Cherry-Evans inside his own half, fellow playmaker Luke Brooks exposed the opposition defence with a pass that allowed Tom Trbojevic (9th minute) to cross for his 13th try in 11 games against the Raiders.

Taking the score into double digits after Tommy Talau (17th minute) swooped on a wayward pass and raced 50 metres untouched, a moment of magic from Cherry-Evans (21st minute) saw the veteran halfback strike when Ethan Strange failed to ground the ball in-goal.
