Canberra Raiders pull off stunning comeback win against Manly Sea Eagles with 26-24 victory.
No-one does an ambush like the Canberra Raiders.
The Green Machine pulled off one of their greatest, and most unlikely of comebacks against the Manly Sea Eagles, winning 26-24 in a round nine NRL encounter that was the definition of a Friday night thriller.
A week after being thrashed 40-0 on their home turf, the Raiders travelled to Brookvale and were down 20-0 after 28 minutes and 24-6 after 50 minutes against a top-four side. But they fought back and came away with a stunning upset.
"What we performed last week wasn't us. We had to show what our real DNA was and that was one hell of a win," coach Ricky Stuart said in his press conference.
