FT Manly win 30-14

78min

CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Sea Eagles challenge a tackle off the ball call which is one of those grey area calls because Christian Tuipulotu went for the intercept but was juggling it when Ben Trbojevic tackled him. Bunker upholds the penalty call

75min

Penalty Goal: Sea Eagles
Attempted by Daly Cherry-Evans.

DCE hits the post with the penalty goal and the Sea Eagles weren't awake as the Dragons get the ball

Sea Eagles lead Sea Eagles 30 - 14 Dragons
74min

PENALTY MANLY: A high shot against Tyrell Sloan on a flying Luke Brooks penalised, no further action needed but Manly taking the 2

Conversion: Sea Eagles
Kicked by Daly Cherry-Evans.

DCE converts from close range

Sea Eagles lead Sea Eagles 30 - 14 Dragons
72min

Try: Sea Eagles
Scored by Jason Saab. Kick to come.

Absolutely brilliant from the Sea Eagles with quick ball movement as DCE sends Bullemor through the middle, quick play the ball as the Dragons going backwards and DCE kicks through for Saab and the bounce is PERFECT

Sea Eagles lead Sea Eagles 28 - 14 Dragons
68min

NO TRY - The bunker finds the knock on in the air which wasn't why it was sent up no try but the refs technically get it right

68min

BUNKER: Zac Lomax looks to have scored, Peter Gough was about to give it but the advice from David Munro on the sideline says NO TRY

64min

Conversion: Sea Eagles
Kicked by Daly Cherry-Evans.

DCE converts from close range

Sea Eagles lead Sea Eagles 24 - 14 Dragons
63min

Sea Eagles lead Sea Eagles 22 - 14 Dragons
60min

PENALTY DRAGONS: Haumole Olakau'atu penalised and put on report somewhat harshly for a high shot that probably wasn't that high and with Flanagan ducking a long way

58min

Manly having fun down their right side

56min

Lehi Hopoate appears to catch the ball with a foot in the ingoal but Peter Gough says it wasn't and the replays show the Manly disapproval is right

56min

Conversion: Sea Eagles
Attempted by Daly Cherry-Evans.

DCE pushes the conversion across the face of the posts

Sea Eagles lead Sea Eagles 18 - 14 Dragons
55min

Try: Sea Eagles
Scored by Ben Trbojevic. Kick to come.

Quick hands and speed too much for the Dragons as it goes to Lehi Hopoate who goes through before finding Ben Trbojevic

Sea Eagles lead Sea Eagles 18 - 14 Dragons
54min

The Dragons last tackle kicking has been poor as that kick goes well too deep

53min

Some brilliant play from DCE to kick across the field for Jason Saab to create space but the play breaks down later with Haumole Olakau'atu kicking 2 tackles later for no reason

50min

Conversion: Dragons
Attempted by Zac Lomax.

Kicking into the sun Zac Lomax misses the conversion

Tied up at Sea Eagles 14 - 14 Dragons
48min

Try: Dragons
Scored by Zac Lomax. Kick to come.

Zac Lomax go over in the corner as he joins the very contested top try scorer levels though it looks like he lost it but it's confirmed

Conversion: Sea Eagles
Kicked by Daly Cherry-Evans.

DCE converts from in front

42min

Ben Hunt nailed a perfect 40/20 but then the attacking kick was poor

41min

Ben Hunt out of dummy half hits a perfect 40/20

40min

SECOND HALF IS GO! The Sea Eagles use the ball first

39min

Reuben Garrick has to go for the HIA process for a second time and temporarily the Sea Eagles have no bench

37min

WHY DID YOU NOT PASS? Luciano Leilua had 3 men on the outside more or less unmarked as he doesn't get rid of it and loses it

36min

PENALTY DRAGONS: A high shot going against the Sea Eagles and the visitors on the attack

33min

PENALTY DRAGONS: The gap opens easily for the Sea Eagles but it's too easily with a knock on

29min

PENALTY DRAGONS: The short dropout works for the Dragons then get a penalty for ruck interference

28min

Repeat set for the Sea Eagles as DCE's kick is a good one as Sloan doesn't contest it and the presence of Saab makes it difficult

26min

Conversion: Sea Eagles
Attempted by Daly Cherry-Evans.

DCE misses the conversion

Dragons lead Sea Eagles 8 - 10 Dragons
26min

Try: Sea Eagles
Scored by Haumole Olakau'atu. Kick to come.

TRY CONFIRMED - The call is a surprising one because it did look like the run of Ben Trbojevic looked as if it impacted Kyle Flanagan but bunker says he still could make the tackle

Dragons lead Sea Eagles 8 - 10 Dragons
26min

Haumole Olakau'atu goes over but there does look like there might be an issue with an obstruction as Kyle Flanagan was blocked

22min

Again the Sea Eagles attack looks lost as DCE kicks straight across field for Jason Saab that had no real danger

18min

Nothing doing in that set from Manly in attack

17min

Injury concerns for Manly who have lost Taniela Paseka with a thumb, Tof Sipley with a knee injury and now Reuben Garrick sent for a HIA by the independent doctor

16min

Conversion: Dragons
Kicked by Zac Lomax.

Zac Lomax adjusts his line and converts

Dragons lead Sea Eagles 4 - 10 Dragons
15min

Try: Dragons
Scored by Kyle Flanagan. Kick to come.

Manly like last week can't wrap the ball up and instead of going left the Dragons go back inside and Kyle Flanagan scores

Dragons lead Sea Eagles 4 - 8 Dragons
11min

Conversion: Dragons
Attempted by Zac Lomax.

Zac Lomax pushes the conversion to the left

Tied up at Sea Eagles 4 - 4 Dragons
10min

Try: Dragons
Scored by Jacob Liddle. Kick to come.

Jacob Liddle gets the Mitch Kenny style 4 pointer from the 2023 Grand Final as Manly went short with the dropout, tap it back and it's perfect for Jacob Liddle to pick it up and score

Tied up at Sea Eagles 4 - 4 Dragons
9min

LIDDLE DOES A MITCH KENNY
