Some wins are season defining - especially in games when you had no right to finish in front on the scoreboard. And so it was at Brookvale on Sunday, when the wounded Sea Eagles scored a brave 30-14 win over a poor Dragons side. Manly lost four players in the first half - both props Toafofoa Sipley (knee) and Taniela Paseka (thumb), centre Rueben Garrick (head knock) and forward Corey Waddell (leg). The situation was so dire that Waddell limped back onto the field in the second half to help his mates out and give them one player in their bench rotation. Veteran skipper Daly Cherry-Evans was superb for Manly, controlling the game with his smart passing and kicking game.
