Still injured i'd say.

Re: Manly V Raiders -Teams,News & Game Day chat

IN the Ice Hockey, there is this dude with deep vein thrombosis. He managed it, and was back on the ice within days. If Bani isn't back very, VERY soon - start to worry.

I reckon Bell might play.

Hopefully Bell does play, Lyon to 6 and Beaver to pack

Purtell from the Raiders had DVT early last year and missed the rest of the season

For those not aware it looks like the Brisbane v Parra match is the live match in NSW this Friday. Our game is listed as the second game in the various TV programs which is a pain in the butt. Geez, Parra must be going really well this year.............

Even 2GB is broadcasting from Suncorp. If your desperate for live coverage I would check out ABC Canberra on the web. The NRL site may have a link to this otherwise it will just be intermittent updates on radio, NRL site or via the Live Score facility on MWSE site.

The only place that will have the game live is local ABC Radio in Canberra.

Raiders v Sea Eagles Preview
Big League
http://nrl.com/News/Latest/tabid/10244/default.aspx?id=51269
Canberra Stadium
Friday 7.45pm

IT’S not often the Canberra faithful get to come out on a Friday night to see their Raiders go around so hopefully the occasion brings forth the big crowd it deserves.

The Green Machine comes into this crucial clash against the fourth-placed Sea Eagles in a respectable 10th position and they know they need to keep the win column ticking over if they are to stay in the dogfight for finals’ positions this season.

They come into the match fresh from a bye and a pummelling of the hapless South Sydney so there should be no excuses come kick-off.

They enter the clash with a settled squad having named the same side that dismantled Souths in round 10. Troy Thompson has been named as 18th man at this stage.

For Manly, the game couldn’t come soon enough after last week’s loss to the Dragons at Brookvale. Prior to the loss the Sea Eagles had made steady progress up the ladder but the shock loss has some cynics resurfacing.

Coach Des Hasler has stuck with the same 17 to take on the Raiders but has named Vic Mauro as an extra man on the bench.

It looms as a danger game for the Sea Eagles who need to get back in the winner’s circle if they are to consolidate a top-four spot.

Canberra are well rested and always play better in the nation’s capital when the weather starts to get chilly.

Watch out Raiders: The Sea Eagles are deadly when they get into the attacking red zone. Having scored 33 of their 42 tries from within 20 metres the Manly boys are one of the league’s best sides at turning good field position into tries.

The flipside to this is the Raiders can make life difficult for the Eagles if they can limit their time in the attacking quarter.

An aggressive defensive line is needed in the middle of the field to contain the Manly metre eaters especially considering the Raiders have conceded 11 tries up the middle and Manly have scored 13 up the guts.

Watch out Sea Eagles: Canberra’s kick accuracy of 62 per cent is one of the best in the NRL and will allow them to dictate field position if the Manly side doesn’t pressure the kickers.

As stated above, the Raiders need only dominate field territory to make Manly suffer so it is imperative Todd Carney isn’t given a free rein to place the ball wherever he likes.

The Sea Eagles only find space 48 per cent of the time, further highlighting the importance of kick-pressure and a good kick-chase in this game.

Where it will be won: It might just come down to defence of attacking kicks. Manly have scored 12 but leaked eight tries to kicks this year, while Canberra have scored eight and leaked 11.

Canberra struggle defusing the grubber kick (69 per cent success, 13th in NRL) and the bomb (59 per cent success, 15th in NRL) while Manly have only defused half of the cross-field bombs they’ve faced and are yet to clean up a banana kick.

Matt Orford and Carney should spend some extra sessions sharpening up their skills before heading out for this one.

The History: Played 39; Raiders 16, Sea Eagles 22, drawn 1. Manly have won five of the past six matches between the sides. At Canberra Stadium the teams have split 10 games with five wins a piece, although the last time Canberra beat Manly in Canberra was 2004.

Conclusion: The sensible tip is Manly but the Raiders are a 12-point better team at home and the Sea Eagles come into the clash off a poor loss.

It is by no means beyond the Green Machine to cause an upset here; in fact they are a good chance to do so.

With plenty to play for, Canberra might just turn it on and if the weather is cold as the winter approaches the boys from the sunny northern beaches might find it difficult to adapt.

If you need to jag a few upsets in your tipping competition, think long and hard about using this game to mount a charge.

Match officials: Referee – Sean Hampstead; Sideline Officials – Tony De Las Heras & David Abood; Video ref – Paul Simpkins.

Televised: Channel Nine – Delayed 9.30pm (NSW & Qld).

Re: Manly V Raiders -Teams,News & Game Day chat

Can report a beautiful day in the nation's crap capital. This means a chilly night probably about 4 or 5 degrees and no wind for the game. Will be there, freezing my proverbials, and absolutely bagging the crap out of T. Carney. Looking forward to this as I dont get a chance to get up to Sydney much to watch the boys. Go Manly!

Re: Manly V Raiders -Teams,News & Game Day chat

I presume that means no rain, sleet or snow - we might have chance

Re: Manly V Raiders -Teams,News & Game Day chat

Didn't we win the last game down there quite comfortably?  No reason to think we won't win this time.  All those forwards have to remember is to go forward with determination and pace and no silly offloads.
