NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg: Round 12 Preview

The Canberra Raiders Jersey Flegg squad will kick off the double header at Seiffert Oval. 

The Raiders remain in ninth position after their 38-24 loss to the Silktails in Fiji last weekend.

Meanwhile, for the Manly Sea Eagles, they remain in 14th and will be fresh off a competition-wide bye and looking for their first win of the season.

Raiders SG Ball product Kasinga Noa will join the squad this week with Chaev Kolone, Jesse Milin and Sylas Simon all dropping out of Jersey Flegg.

The Green Machine came out firing in the first half of their match with Jesse Milin and Luke Cannon being two of the standout players in Fiji.

However, the Silktails responded heavily in the second half with five tries scored and claimed the Noa Nadruku Bowl for the first time after the Raiders held a 4-0 record.

The Raiders have a good track record heading into this matchup, having won their last eight out of eleven previous matches against the Sea Eagles, and will be looking to be back in the winner’s circle.
