Two late tries to the Raiders made the game look much closer than it really was with Manly doing most of their damage early in the second half.

The Sea Eagles were firing on all fronts with 8 Linebreaks and the individual running games of Luke Brookes and Tom Trbojevic tearing up the defence of their opponent. Manly average 35.8 points scored across their last 5 games.

New Zealand Warriors Form

The Warriors went down in a Golden Point thriller to the Dolphins last weekend dousing any remaining hope they had of making finals this year.

Down 20-6 at halftime New Zealand mounted a comeback and looked to have the game wrapped up before a late flurry of tries to both teams forced overtime.

The Warriors took advantage of their chances scoring 6 tries on 35 Tackles Inside Opposition 20m but the Dolphins were able to score 5 tries on only 7 Tackles Inside 20m.

The once solid NZ defence has fallen to tatters this season and will need to get back to its former power if they are to return to the finals arena next year.
