(LIVE STREAM>>>) Today: Penrith Panthers vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles live online 10 August 2023
Diminutive winger Brian To'o touched down in the corner on the half-hour mark to give the Panthers an 18-0 lead at the break. Winger Sunia Turuva and newly re-signed back-rower Liam Martin further strengthened their advantage after the interval as Cronulla's heads began to drop. It is the first time the Sharks have lost three straight games under Fitzgibbon in the same season, and their first defeat without scoring in over two years. Cronulla prop Braden Hamlin-Uele is likely to face sanction for two dangerous tackles in back-to-back plays. The only concern for Penrith will be a high shot from Tyrone Peachey, which earned him 10 minutes in the sin bin and could lead to him facing suspension. Manly keep hopes alive, beating Dragons in the 'Gong Centre Tolutau Koula scored the first of Manly's four tries in a narrow win over the Dragons in Wollongong.
Manly finish the regular season against lowly Canterbury and Wests Tigers and probably need to fashion four wins to make the finals. Despite Saturday's celebrations, the Sea Eagles' win was anything but convincing. The second-last-placed Dragons threatened a boilover after establishing a deserved lead through a sixth-minute try to prop Francis Molo, the conversion and a penalty goal to Zac Lomax. It took a long-range try against the run of play to centre Tolutau Koula to get Manly on the board in the 21st minute. Dragons hooker Jacob Liddle was sent for an HIA after playing the ball backwards in a costly blunder for the home side. In the ensuing set after the penalty, powerhouse second-rower Haumole Olakau'atu crashed over to give Manly the lead for the first time.

(Getty Images: Izhar Khan)Daly Cherry-Evans has celebrated his 300th NRL game with a lead role in Manly's hoodoo-busting and season-saving 24-18 comeback victory over St George Illawarra in Wollongong. The Sea Eagles recovered from an 8-0 deficit and a dearth of first-half possession and territory to keep their finals hopes alive with their first win over the Dragons in Wollongong in 20 years. Fittingly, Cherry-Evans was among the stars on Saturday. A month after guiding Queensland to back-to-back State of Origin series triumphs over NSW, the Manly and Maroons captain became the 49th player to join the 300-game club. But the veteran half-back is the first to play all 300 in the same position.
Ironically, it was a heavy tackle from Olakau'atu that dazed Liddle, who was able to return to the fray for the second half. Manly looked like running away with the match when fullback Reuben Garrick crossed a minute after the break, and winger Jason Saab followed suit shortly after to give the Eagles a 22-6 buffer. But St George Illawarra set up a nailbiting finish with tries to centre Billy Burns and fullback Tyrell Sloan. Alas for Dragons fans, their side couldn't pull the game out of the fire. Compounding their woes, forward Jack De Belin will come under scrutiny from the match review committee for a hip-drop tackle on Christian Tuipulotu, who was forced off after the incident with a torn MCL.

Typically, the 34-year-old delivered a playmaking masterclass, having a hand in three of the Sea Eagles' four tries — including the first two to spark his side's comeback. Cherry-Evans also chimed in with a vital captain's challenge when Manly were under the pump early, down on the scoreboard and deep in defence trying to hold the Dragons out. Now just one point out of the top eight, the Sea Eagles climbed above Parramatta into 10th spot on the ladder ahead of a crucial three-game stretch. They play the Sydney Roosters next Thursday night in another must-win encounter at the Sydney Cricket Ground before taking on premiers Penrith and the Warriors in successive testers on the road.

Panthers on track for top two once more after win over SharksCronulla's season of struggle has gone from bad to worse after a 28-0 loss to Penrith was compounded by a hamstring injury to livewire fullback Will Kennedy. In the week co-captain Dale Finucane was ruled out for the rest of the year, Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon is staring at a late-season push without Kennedy. The mercurial number one limped off Penrith Stadium after just five minutes, and while Connor Tracey was on hand to deputise for him, the Sharks' hopes of making the finals are now considerably tougher. Cronulla had Ronaldo Mulitalo withdraw due to a jaw injury in the build-up to kick-off and fellow winger Sione Katoa played on after dislocating a finger.
