FULL TIME - A DCE masterclass in Mudgee sees the Sea Eagles take a 25-6 victory

Corey Harawira-Naera ON REPORT for a crusher tackle

Canberra have lost the ball again... that's now 4/12 sets completed in the half

Raiders have completed just 4 sets in the second half

What on earth were Manly doing? The Sea Eagles were passing the ball like they were the ones 18 down not the ones leading

PENALTY MANLY: Dropout doesn't go 10m and there's the mandatory penalty

Manly force a repeat set although the Bunker overturns it after a Manly knock on was spotted in the lead up

A couple of knock ons at the back end of the set for Canberra as they went close to scoring

Pretty scrappy second half so far with more errors than real attacking opportunities

What happened at half-time? Both sides look incompetent when they had very few errors first half

PENALTY RAIDERS: Sean Keppie is trying to argue that the Raiders defender was right in front of him when he knocked him over which is why the penalty was blown

20/40 from DCE as they go on the attack now

Second half is underway - Manly using the ball first in the half

HT in Mudgee - The Sea Eagles hold a 10-6 lead although it could be bigger with quite a few chances going begging

PENALTY MANLY: The Sea Eagles going nowhere but the Raiders defence is too quick off the line

Off the back of a penalty, Raiders get a good attacking position but blow it as Nick Cotric almost ends up in touch but his pass infield ends up with Morgan Harper

PENALTY RAIDERS: Sean Keppie was called out by the referee but still got involved in the tackle and the offside penalty comes

Patience from Rapana to wait desperately for the ball to potentially go dead and the steeden just touches the line before the Manly chasers get there

TIME OFF - Dylan Walker down injured at the moment, didn't look anything illegal in the tackle

HELD UP! Last tackle and the Raiders run it and Josh Papali'i goes over but is held up by the Trbojevic brothers.

PENALTY RAIDERS: Marty Taupau over the top collects Jordan Rapana high

PENALTY MANLY: High tackle ruled by Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski against Elliott Whitehead which is the right call. Nothing more at this stage

DCE charges up out of the line and leaves Jack Wighton with no options other than to surrender in the tackle on the last. Poor set really from Canberra

Jack Wighton kicks in behind the line and the bounce is awkward for Tom Trbojevic who can't take it cleanly and is forced to knock it dead

PENALTY RAIDERS: First penalty of the game to the Green Machine after the referee isn't happy with the speed of the ruck across multiple tackles

Terrific take from Nick Cotric as he was under pressure

First real error for the afternoon was a poor kick from Brad Schneider who's bomb is taken by Tom Trbojevic ingoal

Both sides complete their opening sets comfortably

GAME ON! Ziggy calls time on and we're underway in Mudgee for the second of 2022's clashes in the town
