"One of the plays of the season, \ufeffan inside, outside fake, he's on his knees and what a sublime flick pass that is to Kaeo Weekes," he said.<\/p>\n

Manly were out to a fast start, leading 20-0 after 26 minutes with tries to Tom Trbojevic, Tommy Talau, Daly Cherry-Evans and Reuben Garrick.<\/p>\n

Garrick's try came after Raiders fullback Albert Hopoate was sin binned for consistent penalties. However, down to 12-men, Whitehead produced the flick pass to get his side on the board.<\/p>\n

Garrick had his second in the 49th minute as it looked like the Sea Eagles would run away with victory.<\/p>\n

However, Whitehead kept himself and his side in the game with a double.<\/p>\n

Nick Cotric then scored a centimetre perfect \ufefftry, tip-toeing across the line after a bold Weekes kick.<\/p>\n

Canberra continued to attack and with four minutes left, Ethan Strange grubbered behind the defence as Hudson Young dived in to score the winner.<\/p>\n

The Raiders may have one concern however, with Emre Guler on report for a high shot, while Nathan Brown was also hit with the same sanction for placing his weight on the legs of Josh Papalii. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
