That's a wrap
Key moments
What's next for both sides?
For the Sea Eagles it's a meeting with the struggling Cronulla Sharks. They'll be sweating over the fitness of Dylan Walker and Tom Trbojevic ahead of that one.
Full-time: Canberra Raiders 6-14 Manly Sea Eagles
Manly lost Dylan Walker and Brad Parker to injury early in the contest but bounced back to take a 12-0 lead into the sheds.
The Raiders got back into the game in the second half before the Sea Eagles lost Tom Trbojevic to injury with 20 minutes to go.
But the Sea Eagles soon extended their lead via the boot of Reuben Garrick and held on for a very impressive victory against the pre-season favourites as they climb to seventh on the NRL Ladder.
It would take a miracle for the Raiders to win from here.
Manly head and feed 40 metres out.
Havili knocks on on the second and hands Manly the ball straight back!
Just six minutes left, they need something special here.
Manly possession 40 metres out.
NO TRY Raiders
The Bunker quickly overturns the call.
TMO Raiders
The Bunker will check to see if he got there in time.
A score here would be massive.
Sea Eagles head and feed on their own 20.
The referee deems it went backwards and the Raiders will keep possession. Looked forward to me...
NO TRY Raiders
The Sea Eagles survive, for now at least.
TMO Raiders
Williams bombs a high kick over towards the sticks and Croker gets up between the Manly defence to claim the ball and touch down over the line.
The Bunker will have a look at it. He looks to have lost this as he hit the turf though...
It has been a very impressive performance from Manly, arguably their best of the season so far given their injuries tonight.
The next score in this one is absolutely crucial for both sides.
Successful Penalty
Manly make it a two-score game as they lead by eight with 24 minutes remaining here.
They'll opt for the two. A smart decision in the circumstances.
He's been in such good form since the return as well.
A score here would be huge for the depleted Sea Eagles.
He struggled with that hamstring prior to lockdown but had been running okay since the return.
He makes his way off the pitch and the Sea Eagles are down to just one fit interchange.
They've been far below their best tonight but they are back within a score.
Successful Conversion
Raiders 6-12 Sea Eagles.
TRY Raiders!
It was a simple score as Josh Hodgson fired the play the ball to Wighton and he found the run of Elliott Whitehead who stepped through the gap in the Manly defence to touch down under the sticks.
Kick-to-come
Back underway!
Will the Raiders turn this one around? Or will it be a second defeat of the season for the pre-season favourites.
Half-time: Canberra Raiders 0-12 Manly Sea Eagles
It's been a poor showing from the Canberra Raiders in the first 40 and they'll have to improve significantly in the second period if they are to get back into this one!
Josh Hodgson JUST gets to the Cherry-Evans high kick before the onrushing Tom Trbojevic.
The half-time siren sounds with Manly in control here.
One pointer on the cards maybe?
Successful Conversion
TRY Sea Eagles
Tommy Turbo feeds the ball to Tevita Funa and the big winger steps inside Cotric to crash over for the second try of the game for the Sea Eagles.
Kick-to-come.
They'll take possession ten metres from the line.
The Sea Eagles may opt for two here.
It's been a very underwhelming performance from Canberra so far but all credit to the Sea Eagles who have defended very well.
Cherry Evans forces the mistake from Emre Guler who spills the ball close to the line.
Can they finally turn position into points?
Their defence has looked very strong tonight but with just two men on the interchange bench, you question how long they will be able to keep that up.
For now, they lead by six with 25 minutes on the clock.
Although they will have a chance to hit straight back as the Sea Eagles put the ball to ground on their 40.
Successful Conversion
The Sea Eagles lead by six early in Sydney!
TRY Sea Eagles
Tommy Turbo gets the opening score of the night.
Kick to come.
TMO Sea Eagles
He throws the dummy down the right-hand side and splits the Raiders defence. Curtis Scott attempts to halt his run but the Manly fullback has far too much power and gets his way over to touch down.
The TMO will check for obstruction but this will be given.
The Canberra outfit then give away a penalty to relieve some pressure on the Sea Eagles.
Lachlan Croker is down for the Sea Eagles now.
His head hit the ground pretty hard there, it'll be tough for the centre to carry on in this one.
The visitors will be hoping he'll be able to get back out on the field.
We have coverage of the next matchup of the day between the Cronulla Sharks and Canterbury Bulldogs to come so do stay tuned for that but until then, I've been Tom Young, goodbye!
