Overview

  • Playing his 350th NRL match, Daly Cherry-Evans had five try involvements and kicked nine conversions for 18 points at Brookvale Oval.
  • Manly’s win leaves both clubs on only mathematical paths to September, with the Sea Eagles needing victories over the Warriors and Dragons plus help elsewhere.
  • The Dolphins have dropped three straight under coach Kristian Woolf and sit ninth, needing wins against the Titans and Raiders as well as other results to turn.
  • Reuben Garrick’s shoulder injury saw Tommy Talau start and handed goal-kicking duties to Cherry-Evans, who is now Manly’s most-capped player ahead of Steve Menzies.
  • Elsewhere, Parramatta beat the Roosters 30-10 and Sydney halfback Sam Walker sustained a grade-one concussion that rules him out of next Friday’s match.
