The Canberra Raiders were lucky not to lose two stars to the sin bin in the first half after a professional foul on Luke Brooks denied Manly a chance to level the scores.
Manly were trailing by four points when Luke Brooks put a grubber kick on the last tackle towards the posts from 30 metres out.
The playmaker chased his own kick before sending the ball further down the field with his boot, all the while attempting to defend off Kaeo Weekes.

With four straight wins under their belt, the Sharks will ramp up their pursuit of a top-four berth when they tackle the Dragons in a Saturday afternoon local derby at Jubilee Stadium.
Cronulla showcased one of their best attacking displays recently, clinching a 32-12 victory over the Cowboys despite challenging weather conditions last weekend. This puts them just two competition points behind the fourth-placed Warriors.
Facing them is a St George Illawarra team that's energized by an 18-12 upset against the first-place Raiders, exhibiting performance levels that defy their 12th-place position.

Sharks Coach Defends 'Soft' NRL Draw Amid Finals Chaos
Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon defends team's challenging season amid speculation on upcoming matches.

Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has strongly countered claims that the Sharks have a simplified end to their regular NRL season. He emphasized the challenges his team faced earlier in the year, especially following the recent news about the triple-injury carnage for the Broncos, which has opened up the finals race.
This Saturday, the Sharks will face St George Illawarra in a local derby at Jubilee Stadium. Depending on the outcomes of other matches, particularly if the Knights can defeat reigning champions Penrith, the Sharks have the chance to move into fourth place.
Despite the speculation on their draw, Fitzgibbon pointed out that Cronulla's upcoming matches provide them a solid path to a top-four finish. They won't be traveling outside Sydney for their last five games, benefit from a guaranteed two points from a bye, and are scheduled to meet only one current top-eight team, the Bulldogs.
