The Dragons aren’t yet out of it, but they need points fast. They’re not finding it too difficult to get into Manly’s half, but are just playing too side-to-side once they get there. And so it proves again, Kyle Flanagan declining to kick on the last and going left to Luciano Leilua instead, and Leilua finds Tyrell Sloan who is immediately taken to ground by the Sea Eagles defence.
The next trip down Flanagan goes up with a spiral bomb, but Tom Trbojevic makes no mistake – he’s been typically safe as houses under the high ball tonight – and this contest is just about over.
Sea Eagles 28, Dragons 18 with four minutes left
