Manly have crushed Canberra’s NRL finals hopes with a see-sawing 46-24 victory at GIO Stadium.
Tom Trbojevic looked back to his best with two tries and two try assists, scoring his 99th and 100th career four-pointers in a lethal Sea Eagles attacking display on Saturday afternoon.Two pivotal refereeing decisions took the game away from the Raiders.
Adam Cook appeared to have dropped the ball after being sent in on the Manly tryline by Hudson Young. But video replays showed the young utility smartly stuck a toe out before the ball hit the ground.His try was not allowed to stand, however, as referee Grant Atkins had blown the whistle before Cook was given a chance to ground the ball.
The Sea Eagles made the most of their numerical advantage, scoring four-pointers through Taniela Paseka, Luke Brooks and Trbojevic in Tapine’s absence.Canberra will likely have to win all four of their remaining fixtures, including a high-stakes home game against Penrith, to make the finals.If GIO Stadium had a roof, it would’ve lifted off when Josh Papalii opened the scoring.
