Round 12 of the NRL concludes with the Canberra Raiders taking on the Manly Sea Eagles. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 4:05pm AEST.
The Raiders are playing some exceptional footy, as their winning streak has extended to five wins in a row. Zac Woolford is out due to concussion which sees Tom Starling starting at hooker. In a huge boost for the Raiders, Samoan international Danny Levi returns from a broken jaw and is set to come off the bench.
The underwhelming Sea Eagles head to the nation’s capital off a three match losing streak. Daly Cherry-Evans is doing everything he can as skipper, but the majority of the Sea Eagles squad have not been able to play the same tunes as the Sea Eagles skipper. Josh Aloiai, Kelma Tuilagi and Aaron Woods are out due to their respective injuries, but Jake Trbojevic and Josh Schuster are back while Ben Trbojevic is the starting second rower.
Prediction
Manly will be buoyed by the return of Jake Trbojevic and Josh Schuster. However, you would expect their returns to not be enough, especially with the Raiders having a 75 per cent win record in Canberra this year. Raiders by 10.

Yeah, me too. But weren't bad calls, both could have come off, Dolphins undisciplined and Titans robbed.

Saw Seibs at Mona Vale shops on Friday. Thought it might be a bad omen, but how wrong I was. Congrats to every Manly player (and Seibs) for that one. Looking forward to waking up Monday morning with that warm inner glow.

The ref did the Raiders no favours but Manly was far too good - with Tommy Turbo back to his blistering best. No excuses for the Raiders who were at full strength. Manly had some big ins in Schuster and Jurbo and suddenly found their mojo again. Pretty miserable night having to sit through that in 10C and an apparent temperature of about 5C! Manly always seem to find a way to beat the Raiders but that was a humiliation. Plus my tips stank as well!

Agreed.. Aloia is a mystery to me.. he’s either injured, suspended or giving penalties.. and that’s without his being the self appointed spokesman offield

Thank you all for joining the live blog today. I will be back next weekend covering a few games before I’m off to the city of churches for Origin I. Till then, enjoy your week and goodnight

FULL TIME CAN 14 MAN 42 Who saw that coming? That was brilliant from Manly. Canberra probably got a little bit cocky after their winning streak and home ground advantage as they did not turn up today. Manly were all over the hosts once they found their groove and scored at every chance they had. Ricky Stuart will be fuming at how Canberra lost while Anthony Seibold will be extremely pleased with the performance and result today

Manly should be awarded 4 competition points this evening. 2 for the win, and 2 as a bonus for completely bamboozling the entire NRL world.

Why would you ever pick Aloai when you have Bullemor in the squad is a mystery to me.

Much improved performance by Manly today. Congratulations on a very good win, and commiserations to unlucky Raiders supporters.

Turbo will get the headlines but Schuster definitely best for Manly today. Great performances right across the park!!

Did Warren Smith really suggest that Manly are missing three of their best forwards? He then listed Aloai, Tualagi and… wait for it Aaron Woods!!! Tualagi I can cop but the other two are a deadset liability!!I’d go so far as to say that today has probably been our best forward display this season!
