Following a mistake by Jamal Fogarty, Manly attempted a high bomb but it looked soft. Demitric Vaimauga was reported for a dangerous tackle, which may have been missed by spectators. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad scored a try after a beautiful pass from Te Maire Martin, who floated the ball to him in the corner. Manly's halfback, Jamal Fogarty, had an earlier issue but seems to be in good health now.
Trbojevic attempted a kick to the corner after a solid set from the Sea Eagles but shanked it. A hip drop tackle on Sam Healey led to Gerard Sutton sending him off for 10 minutes. Taine Tuaupiki showcased an electric step and ran through a massive gap, scoring a try. There was concern over Healey's ankle, but he continued to play the ball.
Erin Clark made a strong tackle on Clayton Faulalo, resulting in a penalty for the Sea Eagles. Taine Tuaupiki scored another try, converting his own kick. The Sea Eagles continued to dominate, with Tuaupiki showing great composure in finishing a try down the right side. Despite some defensive lapses, the Sea Eagles maintained their lead at 12-4.
