Metcalf adds the extras.
PICKED OFF! Taine Tuaupiki intercepts, offloads to Ali Leiataua who then finds Metcalf who beat Lehi Hopoate all the way to the line.
This has been a drastic form turnaround.
Manly playing with 12 men.
They go down the left, Clayton Faulalo flies down the wing, he kicks in field but CNK is trapped in goal.
DCE is coming off the field.
DCE meanwhile is in an awful amount of pain.
Turbo went straight up the tunnel but according to the sideline report, there wasn't an injury speciated in the report.
Metcalf adds the extras.
ROGER !! Just as we type that, the Warriors cross while Jurbo is in the bin.
Warriors really need to have the killer blow to seal it while Jurbo is off.
PENALTY WAHS: High tackle - anything and everything that could've gone wrong has.
Turbo is OFF, I repeat Turbo is OFF
Lehi Hopoate back to fullback.
CHALLENGE INCONCLUSIVE: On field decision is supported.
WAHS CHALLENGE
Warriors do not capitalise.
SIX AGAIN WAHS: Inside 10m
Adam Gee's patience has run out - the double digits in the six again count has pushed him to the edge. Jurbo had to go to the bin.
SIX AGAIN WAHS: Inside 10m
CHALLENGE SUCCESSFUL WAHS - Josh Aloiai hit RTS high.
RTS loses it and is appealing for it to be challenged and we are going back to Chris Butler.
They rule Clayton Faulalo OFFSIDE - Challenge Successful.
Oh Taine... a big time error but they will challenge it.
There's going to be some criticism labelled at Chris Butler's way if Manly come home with the wetsail. Both those Manly tries appeared very suspect.
Metcalf now goes without it
Manly lose possession.
Garrick converts.
Manly needed something - Turbo put Saab away again down the right. Saab kicked in field, Garrick somehow keeps that back in the field of play and DCE has scored this. STOP IT!!!!!!!
Manly have to be the next to score - generate some sort of momentum in their favour.
Bit of a crazy last five minutes.
Metcalf adds the extras.
Manly looked set to keep the foot on the pedal but Wayde Egan took the ball and went on the attack. A few plays later, Egan shows and goes to get the ball to the line.
SIX AGAIN WAHS - Inside 10m.
HERE GOES EGAN! Brought down by mere metres.
The explanation for the Saab try being confirmed was a lack of evidence. Given the many angles at the Bunker's disposal. It is hard to argue with it as the main broadcast (being controlled by SKY NZ), only plays a specific number of angles and not every angle at the Bunker's disposal.
Kurt Capewell is in a bit of discomfort after being bumped off by big Haumole Olakau'atu.
No goal for Garrick.
Insufficient to overturn apparently for Chris Butler...
The home fans are not happy about this one at all... but the ref will explain it to Mitch Barnett as we go back to the halfway.
Manly started the second stanza the way they finished the first, by capitialising on some poor discipline from the home side. Following a well worked set-play, Luke Brooks delivered a peach of a pass to send Jason Saab flying down the right edge to score.
SIX MORE MANLY: Inside 10 metres.
SIX MORE MANLY: By a mere 3 metres... we have a ruck infringement. If the ref gets it wrong from that far out, let them wear it.
Warriors ruled to have knocked that one forward. Looking at the replay, Walker lost it after an attempted 1 on 1 strip.
Both sides through their opening sets.
Back underway for the second half of action.
HALF-TIME: Warriors 18 lead Manly 6.
Warriors happy to take us down to Half-Time. Saab goes away down the right but he is brought down by CNK.
RTS loses it
Turbo takes it and gets out of his own in-goal.
SIX MORE WAHS: Slow peel - this is bordering on the ridiculous.
The onside kick is recovered by the Warriors.
Saab takes no chances - that one goes over the dead ball line and it will be a goal line dropout. Warriors getting this one back.
Warriors are lifting and Manly can't go with them at the moment. On halfway on tackle two.
Hopoate takes this one comfortably!
Metcalf's kick at goal is good!
Manly's ill-discipline was becoming the talking point. Conceding 6 set-restarts in the opening half an hour. A terrific short ball from Metcalf to a charging Ali Leiataua sent him across and the Warriors had a third in the opening fourty.
SIX MORE WAHS: Ruck infringement.
SIX MORE WAHS: Inside 10m. This is becoming a bit of a trend for Manly to concede them down this end.
Oh my goodness... Lehi Hopoate has spilled the bomb. The Warriors have kept the receipts from Vegas and have some energy about them tonight.
Metcalf adds the extras.
This is why he was too good for the NSW Cup. The League Scene's NSW Cup fullback of the year gets the ball on a standing start. Fooled the defence with his footwork, he then straightened and exploded through some rather disappointing Warriors defence to take the lead.
Four set restarts for the Warriors so far.
SIX MORE WAHS: Inside 10m.
Turbo looks a little out of sorts. As Andrew Voss correctly points out, this feels very much like the game at Wollongong, started like a house on fire but ever since it's been shooting blanks for the Manly fullback.
Nice run from Wayde Egan out of dummy half.
Warriors complete their set after points.
Metcalf adds the extras - Warriors are level at 6-6.
The Warriors attack in the red-zone had been clunky to start the game. Eventually, the Manly side had to crack and it was the much maligned halves combo of Luke Metcalf and Chanel Harris-Tavita who combined as Harris-Tavita strolled over on the Warriors left edge.
SIX MORE WARRIORS: Leg lift.
Turbo puts Hopoate in space but the pass goes forward, that is a great decision from Michael Wise. He was in great position and got the call 100% correct. Touchies get hammered from most corners so it's important to acknowledge when they are right.
PENALTY MANLY: Slow peel.
Metcalf with the pressure pass to Niukore and the Warriors go without it. Better signs around the ball from Metcalf but the execution at the finishing post leave a lot to be desired from the home side.
PENALTY WARRIORS: Inside 10m
Hopoate away down the left, he kicks in field... but Tutbo goes without him!
Good read by the Warriors right on Turbo. That is the best way to handle Turbo, just harass him when he has the ball.
Warriors have an error now from Mitch Barnett and now we have some push and shove!
Jake Trbojevic loses it in the set after points. After an error-free game last week, it takes 11 minutes to have one here tonight.
Garrick atones for the missed conversion and the Warriors are made to pay for their poor discipline.
Manly are going for two here - the replay shows why Roger isn't happy with the ruling - the contact was SLIGHT to the head. But, given the way the game is headed, high contact is high contact.
PENALTY MANLY: High tackle against Roger - he looks perplexed by the ruling.
PENALTY MANLY: Inside 10m.
The bunker have taken a lengthy inquiry and are taking this out to the 20
Good kick from Harris-Tavita and Turbo takes no chances and has to play at it.
SIX MORE WARRIORS: Flop - looked like one of Tevaga or Burbo.
SIX MORE WARRIORS: Too slow Jazz Tevaga.
Manly complete the set after points.
Garrick fails to add the extras to lead 4-0.
Despite the Warriors boasting some early possession. Manly went back to the playbook of last week and went down the right hand side. The visitors capitalised on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck jamming in to send Jason Saab away before finding Tom Trbojevic to score the opening try of the contest.
Saab is away!
Manly come up with the opening error - Taine Tuaupiki covers it up for the home side and they have a big chance inside Manly territory.
HERE WE GO! Underway from New Zealand as the Warriors get first use of the football running from right to left.
An amazing moment sees an official handover of the captaincy from Tohu Harris to Mitchell Barnett and James Fisher-Harris.
Referee tonight is Adam Gee who will be officiating in his 264th NRL match. Touch judges are Michael Wise and Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski. Chris Butler has command of the bunker this evening. Kickoff coming soon from the land of the Shaky Isles.
Friday Night Football returns across the Tasman as the Warriors have their first home game of the season when they go head-to-head with Manly. AJ Lucantonio is here to bring you all the action for this first of your doubleheader tonight. The Warriors were disappointing in Vegas. There is no sugar-coating it, but Andrew Webster has named the same side that Canberra took apart as he looks for redemption. Manly are without Koula and Taukeiaho, with Faulalo starting at centre for Koula. Meanwhile, we have Aloiai starting and Sipley coming onto the bench.
