Too many penalties and too many errors.

Hudson Young said the Canberra Raiders need to fix their discipline - with and without the ball - before their first home game of the season, against Canterbury at Canberra Stadium on Thursday night.

He hopes it will be in front of a big crowd, in a rematch of last year's crazy game against the Bulldogs.

Young said the Green Machine put itself under too much pressure by giving away penalties and possession - especially inside their defensive 20m.

Jamal Fogarty's second game for Manly aims to bring consistency as he replaces Daly Cherry-Evans, addressing past struggles in maintaining leads.

Fogarty will have his second outing for Manly in Sunday's clash with Newcastle, as he fills the biggest shoes in rugby league by replacing one of the Sea Eagles' greatest ever No.7s in Daly Cherry-Evans.

Last week's opening-round loss that was emblematic of Manly's past few years, marking the sixth time since the start of 2014 they have surrendered a lead of 14 points or more.
