What an incredible play but Manly secure the win by 34-22

It nearly worked.

Let the hail mary begin.

BREAKING: AC injury for Turbo

Mahoney loses it into contact.

Turbo passed his HIA - some concerns for his right shoulder.

Inside 10m penalty for Bulldogs. Nathan Brown retrospectively on report.

Xerri with a good bust, but a terrific tackle by Garrick.

Turbo's night is done. Boots are coming off and he won't return. We are waiting anxiously for news and by we - we're pretty sure all Manly supporters are sweating it out.

Bullemor playing the Bulldog level of pin-ball bumping off several defenders.

Very un-Bulldog like performance tonight.

Kikau loses it forwards and Ciraldo is wondering what went wrong.

Kurtis Morrin has passed his HIA.

Bunker will confirm here but for now it's a line drop-kick. Good kick contest from Jacob Kiraz.

Manly doctor currently assessing for a HIA and they are looking at Turbo's shoulder.

DCE crunched by Kikau!

Dogs lose it there through Salmon

Sexton to Preston and he's through. Turbo bravely puts his body on the line and has absolutely worn it in the contact. Brave tackle from Turbo and we will have a HIA and now there's some concerns for Turbo.

Manly throw the football around on the last, nearly create a result but the last pass goes astray. Lehi Hopoate is such a special athlete.

Kurtis Morrin is off for a HIA.

Haumole has NAILED Kurtis Morrin. Brilliant tackle and the bunker doesn't intervene.

Matt Burton has FAILED his HIA. Monsterous implications for next week.

They had numbers there the Dogs. Turbo looked to misread the play.

PENALTY MANLY: Ruck interference which breaks down play.

Sexton to the line and it is picked off...

PENALTY DOGS: Hand on ball. Curran takes the quick tap.

Brooks placed on report.

PENALTY DOGS: Dangerous throw.

Croker goes for a 40/20 - Tracey handles this one much better.

Matt Burton is forced off via the independent doctor.

PENALTY MANLY: Inside 10m.

They lose it through Curran.

Canterbury have tried a lot to get out of their own end.

Dogs of War hang on brilliantly! Great defensive stand.

All from the counter-attack. Canterbury were dominant to start the second half. They went left and it appeared Viliame Kikau got some revenge on Olakau'atu. But, the Bunker determined Xerri made contact on the back-rower. In the same play, Tom Trbojevic picked up a contact injury but he looks okay to continue after some nervous moments.

Nice counter-attack from the Dogs. All momentum with the Dogs now! Brilliant football.

Very tough contest - Hopoate ends up head over heals but all legal.

Back underway for the second half.

Bit of drama at Homebush but Manly have been known for leaking second half games. They lead here though, 24-12.

Tracey ruled to have lost it there.

Koula stops Skelton. The man that's unstoppable from close range is STOPPED!

SIX AGAIN MANLY: Inside 10m

Burton chips over the top, Mahoney toes ahead and Turbo sticks the arm out. Penalty sufficient, no sin-bin and there's boos galore at HomeBush.

Some great goal-line defence from Manly. Some massive stops, Burton and Mahoney denied brilliantly.

Big mistake for Manly coming out of their own end

Toby Sexton placed on report for a tripping action - replays showed he missed Lawton.

SIX AGAIN MANLY: Ruck infringement.

No thanks Helen there - Bronson Xerri puts it down.

This game now evenly poised.

It looks a very ticky tack decision by Ashley Klein but there is slight contact on Tracey by DCE.

FOX BROUGHT DOWN BY HOPOATE! Great cover tackle. Penalty is going to Canterbury for maybe a professional foul. Hang on a moment.

PENALTY DOGS: Tackled in the air.

Poor kick from Burton which lands too far. Jason Saab is in the garage. Fortunately, this is the chance for Tolu Koula to come onto the ground.

Manly just have the momentum here. Canterbury stuck in quick sand after the early start. They need to wrestle momentum back pronto.

Sexton's early kicks worked a treat last weekend, but they go for that one and the lead chase of Preston is well shielded off the ball.

These sides are up for it tonight.

Manly rebounded with some sustained pressure on Canterbury's line, and after a clunky start, the Sea Eagles looked to hit back. A great cross-field kick looked to be hauled in by Haumole Olakau'atu. But, Gerard Sutton found a double knock-on and the try was denied by the Bunker.

SIX AGAIN MANLY: Slow peel by Burton

PENALTY MANLY: High tackle on Paseka.

Loose pass from Tracey - Skelton and Kiraz overran the play on this right edge.

Manly again struggle to get through their set. Error on Taniela Paseka.

PENALTY DOGS: On the last tackle, Manly ruin a good set of defence.

Underway from Homebush.

Great scenes at Homebush

Ashley Klein is in charge for game 397. Should he officiate in week 2 of the finals, he will join Ben Cummins as officiating in 400 matches. Matt Noyen and Belinda Sharpe carry the flags, while Gerard Sutton is at the controls of the Bunker for this one.

Hello everyone, welcome to Round 26 on LU. It's a massive occasion at Accor Stadium tonight with the Bulldogs hosting Manly. We are expecting the biggest crowd in the history of the 6pm Friday timeslot with upwards of 40,000 expected tonight. The Dogs are 1-17 but are missing Kurt Mann and Stephen Crichton. Manly welcome back Matt Lodge into the starting side, Karl Lawton starts for Ben Trbojevic who reverts to being the concussion sub. Elsewhere, it is a stable side for Manly.
