Billie Eder writes: Poor discipline is costing the Raiders tonight – they’re giving away too many penalties and set restarts, which means Manly keep getting an easy leg up out of their own end.
Once Manly get inside the Raiders 20 metres, they’re targeting the left edge of Nick Cotric and Elliott Whitehead – both players have had limited minutes this year.
Manly up 14-0 at the moment against a Raiders side who are down to 12 men after Albert Hopoate’s sin-binning, but they could have been another six points ahead if Reuben Garrick had passed back to Tom Trbojevic when he had a break up the right edge.
Trobjevic looks dangerous tonight. He’s buzzing around the ruck and keeps linking up with Luke Brooks who is equally unpredictable tonight. (edited)
