Overview

• The Warriors struck after nine seconds when James Fisher-Harris cashed in on a kickoff miscue involving Daly Cherry-Evans and Jason Saab, a time reported as the fastest try in NRL history.
• Cherry-Evans landed a left-footed field goal with five minutes remaining, his 29th, to clinch the one-point win in his 352nd and final regular-season game for Manly.
• Manly's finals hopes remain faint, requiring South Sydney to beat the Roosters by 80 points and Canberra to defeat the Dolphins to open a path to eighth.
• Manly centre Tommy Talau broke his thumb, while the Warriors lost Rocco Berry to a dislocated shoulder and saw Eddie Ieremia-Toeava leave with a shoulder concern.
• The Warriors will finish sixth and host an elimination final, with Penrith the likely opponent pending other results, as Manly debuted teen playmaker Joey Walsh off the bench.
