FULL TIME - I know for a fact some Souths fans are saying thank f*** that's over picking up a 14-0 win
PENALTY SOUTHS: Manly kick too long at 14-0 with 30 seconds to go
Cody Walker kicks his first goal in 8 years to score
Try confirmed as his arm stretches a long way and that should be all she wrote tonight
SOUTHS SCORE - 55 minutes between efforts as Cook kicks through the open gap in the defence under the posts and Keaon Koloamatangi gets to it first
PENALTY SOUTHS: Jai Arrow hit high and the penalty is blown
Manly lose the ball...
Manly get the ball back with Gagai sliding into touch
Luke Brooks kicks the ball in an up and under bomb with no pressure on Jye Gray again
Souths just get a set restart and kick ahead which sums up the game
Luke Brooks bombs again and it's average but it's contested at least as Manly throw it around but don't get anything but a 20m restart to Souths
"12 minutes to go, plenty of time for Manly to win it" They haven't looked like scoring for 68 minutes so hard to see them on a scoring rampage now
Manly try to go to their left and turn the ball over
SOMETHINGS HAPPENING!!!! Manly go through with Tommy Talau "scoring" BUT it's an obstruction so really nothing happened
PENALTY MANLY: Jack Wighton penalised and ON REPORT
Again nothing doing for Souths as Cody Walker gets the ball and just gets tackled
Jacob Gagai makes something happen going down the right after being sent down the sideline before pulled down short. Souths go left on last and the ball goes pinging everywhere and it's a Manly knock on
Somebody actually almost does something... Souths kick for AJ is regathered but they turn the ball over meekly
DEBUTANT ALERT: Liam Le Blanc who is a perennial 19th man gets on for his debut
PENALTY SOUTHS: Souths force a repeat set but earn a penalty as an offside player had an impact
Not a lot happening as both teams trying to move the ball but not successfully
PENALTY SOUTHS: Manly penalised for passing off the ground
Cody Walker's kick looks too hard off the boot and it does sit up but it does just go dead anyway
PENALTY SOUTHS: Crusher tackle the ruling from Chris Butler against Jake Simpkin
PENALTY SOUTHS: Crusher tackle the ruling from Chris Butler against Jake Simpkin
Keaon Koloamatangi loses the ball, probably helped out but with no challenges no arguments
Manly split the Souths defence with Bullemor and Lawton combining before that last pass put down
SECOND HALF IS GO! Manly using the ball first
HALF TIME in the wet and Souths lead 8-0
NO TRY - AJ knew he had to get to the line early to slide over but he loses it just short and the Sea Eagles survive
PENALTY SOUTHS: Luke Brooks careless with the knees in the wet conditions
CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Souths challenging a strip call from Chris Butler and Wyatt Raymond in the bunker confirms it and it's pretty clear
Manly lose another attacking chance by spilling at the ball
"FORWARD" Jake Simpkin was never getting away with that one though he might've seen the Jets beating the Panthers in NSW Cup to think you can get away from it
A strange play from Souths to pick up the loose ball
Ben Trbojevic loses the ball in good attacking position
Luke Brooks cross-field kick spilt by Souths and the Sea Eagles get a big opportunity for first points
Cody Walker looked set up to kick the goal then Chris Butler put him off and his subsequent attempt was poor though he's not a confident looking kicker
Cody Walker runs to the line has the defence hold off and Jye Gray goes through with speed
HUGE obstruction there from Cook but Chris Butler rules no advantage with him caught short of the line
That was the biggest waste of time I've seen... Players form the scrum come together nobody throws anything then we repack the scrum before we come out again before a harsh word from Chris Butler and we pack again
Tolutau Koula offloads unnecessarily to Lehi Hopoate who was tackled close to before he got it but ruled simultaneous
Souths making hard work off their line as they get up to the 30
SET RESTART: Ruck infringement ruled against the Rabbitohs for slowness in the ruck
Did someone's controller get stuck? Jason Saab runs back for the kick and then kept going backwards before slipping in the ingoal and getting trapped
PENALTY SOUTHS: A third penalty against the Sea Eagles for offfside
Cody Walker misses the conversion
Too simple and the Riches are the for Souths with Cook going short holding up the pass to Richie Kennar to score
PENALTY SOUTHS: Dragons bound Damien Cook gets his current Red and Green side a penalty catching markers out offside
PENALTY SOUTHS: Jye Gray fumbles the ball in the air BUT the Manly kick chasers are offside
CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: The Sea Eagles lose their challenge 2:09 seconds into the game after Lehi Hopoate knocks on in the air which although not the ruling from Chris Butler, it was a changeover so the rules state incorrect challenge
GAME ON! The great man Chris Butler has control of this one in the rain at Accor Stadium
