Canberra Raiders avoided sin bin while Manly trailed; Brooks tried to score but faced pressure.

Wide World of Sports

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.

Canberra risks falling to third; Manly must win to stay competitive for finals.

League Unlimited

A loss here has the potential to see Canberra drop from top of the table down to third - that's if Melbourne beats Brisbane and Canterbury rack up a comfortable win over the Warriors - both scenarios a very strong chance of happening.

Manly too can ill-afford a loss here either as they are already 2 points behind the eighth placed Dolphins, but with a 165 points difference deficit to the team presumably from Redcliffe - Manly cannot be level with the Dolphins on competition points - they need to be ahead.
