And we're done. Weird game. Three sin bins. Newcastle with the upset. Thanks for joining us!

Ben Trbojevic debuts with just 1:30 on the clock, and the result beyond doubt. Not exactly memorable.

Newcastle force a drop-out.

Taupau makes an error coming from his own end and Newcastle roll toward the Manly line.

After a bit of playing on, Frizell limps off. During a defensive set, stunting Manly's momentum... hmmm...

Scoreless second half persists. Time off with four minutes remaining, Frizell getting some attention for an ankle complaint.

We enter the last ten minutes and there have been no points scored since halftime.

Taupau returns as Newcastle work it out of their own end.

Garrick busts up the park, and his bought down. Tex Hoy looks to have had a head knock. He's stumbling in backplay. Time off.

Newcastle get a new set after Manly knock the ball down. Huge chance for the home side to extend their lead with a one-man advantage.

Harper is dragged into touch and Manly's attack is done there. Probably deserves a penalty for that moustache too.

Getting a bit messy. Newcastle playing a bit of throw-around footy and it's not worked very well.

Newcastle penalty near halfway as a result. Fair call to be honest, but the process to get there is broken.

Hitting the hour mark and no sign of Ben Trbojevic for the Eagles as yet.

Manly look likely spinning it to the right until Brayden Musgrove gets a finger on a swirling pass and it goes into touch. Manly keep possession though.

Manly wrestling back the advantage for the time being.

Newcastle pick up a handy penalty but they don't convert it into points.

Manly back to a full compliment but Newcastle still have the ascendency. Drop out forced. Actually NO, knock on Newcastle. Manly ball.

Time off, HIA. Sauaso Sue escorted from the surface after a head knock.

We're back underway and Brad Parker is down injured after slipping in the opening tackle of the half.

Time off. Tevita Funa is penalised and on report for a Crusher Tackle.

Tevita Funa is on report, Not sin binned. Hmmmm...

We're up with the NRL Bunker. We're checking a possible Manly NO TRY. It's been knocked on by Funa who has also collected Star To'a.

Newcastle applying the pressure now. Manly's defence holding so far.

Awful handling from Newcastle so far. 6/10 completions so far. Manly have a scrum right now five short of halfway.

HIA - Taniela Paseka is off. Toff Sipley is on.

Manly with their first attacking chance but no result. After Newcastle led the way early on the back of some Mitch Barnett hard work, Manly now have the upper hand.

Newcastle remaining dominant in terms of field position.

Daniel Saifiti gets close... reaches out and LOSES IT!

Solid start from Newcastle, making good metres and keeping the Sea Eagles pinned in their own half. Newcastle's second set begins just inside Manly's half as a result.

We're underway, Ben Cummins blows the whistle, Manly kick off and Newcastle have it first.

Manly meanwhile lose Josh Schuster and Curtis Sironen from their named 17. Funa comes in at five-eighth, with Ben Trbojevic debuting on the bench.

Kalyn Ponga and Kurt Mann are OUT for the hosts. Tex Hoy is fullback with Connor Watson five-eighth. Josh King joins the bench.

As local legends The Screaming Jets' hit 'Better' rings out over the McDonald Jones Stadium P.A., let's look at the late mail for this clash on the lands of the Awabakal people.

The Knights and Sea Eagles walking out together onto the sunny surface on this final game of NRL Indigenous Round. Pre-game festivities about to begin.
