Overview

• Manly's performance was marred by nine first-half errors and a completion rate of just 62%, their worst opening 40 minutes of the season.
• Jake Trbojevic was taken off early in the match for a concussion assessment, further weakening Manly's defense in the absence of injured fullback Tom Trbojevic.
• Toafofoa Sipley's second-half sin-binning for a hip-drop tackle on Mat Feagai proved costly for the Sea Eagles.
• The Dragons capitalized on Manly's struggles, building on momentum from earlier wins to secure a key victory in front of 17,254 spectators.
