77′ Olakau’atu throws an intercept!
Disaster for Manly!
The Warriors have the ball in a perfect attacking position!

77′ Harris-Tavita is short with a field goal attempt
He was far too far out to make a genuine attempt, but he still had a go and the ball falls short by 10 metres.
The Sea Eagles bring it back.

76′ The Warriors successfully challenge a knock on call!
Eddie Ieremia-Toeava is ruled to have knocked on after the blocked field goal.
The Warriors instantly challenge, but the drone shot from high above Mount Smart stadium shows that the ball went backwards off the hands!
It will be Warriors ball.

74′ The Warriors are over again! But it’s ruled out AGAIN!
Tanner Stowers-Smith picked up the ball from the blocked field goal.
The man who has never scored a try in the NRL saw his moment and raced towards the line.
But as he was tackled just short, he couldn’t help but reach out for the double movement.
Oh the drama!
It’s Sea Eagles ball – will they have a field goal attempt?

74′ THE WARRIORS SCORE! BUT IT’S RULED OUT!
A brilliant bomb from Chanel Harris-Tavita.
Jason Saab goes up to claim the ball.
He knocks it on, and the ball is picked up by Chanel Harris-Tavita who races over to score.
BUT HANG ON!
Te Maire Martin slides to pick the ball and he is touched while he is on the ground. That means he is down tackled.
It’s no try.
Oh the drama, the late drama in this game.
The Warriors will have possession.

72′ Warriors error
Chanel Harris-Tavita puts up a kick.
It’s not a bad one, to be honest.
But that’s very clever from Tom Trbojevic, stepping out over the line and catching the ball to make it, by rule, a kick out on the full (THE THIRD OF THE GAME SO FAR, BY THE WAY!).
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:39pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:39pm
69th THE WARRIORS HIT BACK!
Taine Tuaupiki has a hat-trick!
Two right-foot steps from the fullback and the Warriors make the Sea Eagles pay for that mistake just seconds ago!
Taine Tuaupiki showed great pace and skill to get into space, and then he showed great strength to power over despite there being three Sea Eagles swarming around him.
The kick is good, and we’re locked at 30-30!
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:37pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:37pm
68th THE SEA EAGLES HAVE ANOTHER! BUT IT’S RULED OUT!
Astonishing!
The Sea Eagles have another one!
Or do they?
The Sea Eagles were away through midfield with Ben Trbojevic, the shift from deep to the left this time.
But Tom Trbojevic pulled back Jacob Laban in that midfield area and it’s a clear penalty.
The Sea Eagles have blown that one.

65′ TRY SEA EAGLES! GARRICK SCORES HIS 100TH!
(Getty Images)
Oh my goodness me!
The Sea Eagles shifted the ball from inside their 20 – they are the long-range kings!
Haumole Olakau’atu pops his nose through a gap in the defensive line and offloads to Tom Trbojevic.
He passes wide to Reuben Garrick on half way, and the centre races off to score his 100th Manly try.
Sensational stuff.
The kick is good and it’s 30-24 to the Sea Eagles.
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:32pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:32pm
63′ Josh Feledy loses the ball!
An attempted 40:20 by Te Maire Martin doesn’t come off.
But Manly loses the ball from the restart and the Warriors have a great opportunity here.
Erin Clark charges towards the line and almost gets there too, Sea Eagles hanging off him as he slowly came to a halt having powered through the line.
But then there’s a knock on as the Warriors spin the ball wide.
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:26pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:26pm
58′ Manly cross for a try?!
But it’s been sent up as a no try!
Lehi Hopoate put the ball down but I think Tom Trbojevic is going to be pinged for obstruction.
He has leaped to try and gather a cross field kick, but he’s missed it and gone through and made contact with the Warriors defender.
Letter of the law it’s the correct call.
Feel of the game and how far that Warriors player was from getting a hand on the ball to deny the Sea Eagles points? Probably not.
A big escape for the Warriors.

56′ Penalty Sea Eagles
Dumb from James Fisher-Harris, who pushes down on the head of Clayton Faulalo after making the tackle.
A soft penalty to give away and give the Sea Eagles a chance to go ahead.
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:21pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:21pm
54′ Penalty Warriors
Reuben Garrick with a sloppy penalty to give away after a solid first set following points.
Taine Tuaupiki was tackled and held, and then Garrick flopped back on top of him.
It’s a dumb penalty to give away and the Warriors get a free pass up field.
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:19pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:19pm
52′ THE SEA EAGLES SCORE ANOTHER!
Oh my word!
That is remarkable!
The Sea Eagles spring the trap down the left side and Lehi Hopoate takes off!
He got the ball inside his own 20 and just took off the 80 metres to score, with a little dummy of the eyes and hips to send the covering defence away from him to boot!
From the kick off, the Sea Eagles almost got bundled into touch when a pack of Warriors powered Haumole Olakau’atu towards the sideline, the giant second row just staying in!
Now they’ve gone the full length of the field to score.
Remarkable.
The kick is GOOD!
We’re level at 24-24!
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:16pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:16pm
49′ Brilliant try from the Sea Eagles!
Oh that’s very, very good from Tom Trbojevic, take a bow that man.
Trbojevic bounces out of one challenge on thee 30, rides another and then bursts through into the Warriors’ 20.
He puts a kick in out wide where there are Sea Eagles queuing up, and the ball bounces into Josh Feledy’s hands.
Lovely try.
The kick is good too and, all of a sudden, the Sea Eagles are back within six points, 18-24.
The Sea Eagles still haven’t been tackled inside the Warriors 20…
Sat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:12pmSat 5 Sep 2026 at 4:12pm
46′ Try Warriors!
(Getty Images)
That’s a wonderful way to start the half for the hosts!
Te Maire Martin puts in a perfect kick out to the corner, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad leaps up and takes the ball away from Lehi Hopoate and spins down to score.
Perfect stuff from the Warriors.
A double for Nicoll-Klokstad on his return from suspension.
Another kick goes wide from Taine Tuaupiki – he’s normally much better than this – and it’s 24-12.

41′ We’re back underway in Auckland
The sun is setting across the ditch, the sky a vibrant pink as the white-shirted Sea Eagles kick off the second half.
