78th minute: With just 90 seconds to go, Burton slotted through a field goal - just the second of his career - to hand the Bulldogs the lead. Josh Addo-Carr ran interference to hold off the Manly hunters as Schoupp went over in the corner untouched. Olakau’atu beat Josh-Addo Carr to the ball to make it 20-16. He ran with intensity, racking up a game-high 212 metres and busting five tackles thanks to sensational acceleration with the ball in hand. Sipley found Walker again, who handed it off to Cherry-Evans to score under the posts and convert his own try. “Gee, he looks like a find for the Sea Eagles,” Roach said. Fullback Kaio Weekes, in just his third game in the competition, enjoyed a stellar night until his dropped kick at the death handed the Bulldogs the ball – and gave Matt Burton the field-goal that led to the Bulldogs win. The Bulldogs slumped to a 16-0 deficit as Manly ran in three unanswered tries in the first half. It was a statement performance after being dropped to the NSW Cup last week. They weathered the storm - pun intended - and Burton epitomised their performance when he shook off his poor kicking form to first earn a repeat set with a towering bomb at the death, then seal the match-winning drop-goal the following set. Greg Alexander told Fox League at half-time: “I would have thought when (Manly) led 16-0, the motivation for the Bulldogs would have waned terribly. The rain arrived right on cue at kick-off, with a brisk southerly making for brutal conditions at Accor Stadium.

We've got a bit of work to do regardless of circumstance and we'll get that done over the off-season and come back ready for 2023." To slip behind 16 points and then pull that back shows some guts and passion they have for the club so I'm really proud of the players. It was a disappointing result on the back end of a disappointing six or seven weeks. Burton then got himself in position for a shot at field goal and calmly slotted it to secure the 21-20 win. We should have finished the game and we didn't. We started well and had complete control and were guilty of a bit of inexperience in parts.

It is the last game of the season. Thankfully for him, they tuned back in at the last minute to end their season on a high. But his next challenge will be doing it on the holiday strip, away from Hasler. Against a club he used to play for, and never seemed to manage to get through a season with, Foran showed Father Time hasn’t got him yet. Bulldogs centre Aaron Schoupp levelled the match when he raced 85 metres to snatch an intercept out of Kieran Foran’s hands. Fittingly, they found some from one of the Manly Seven.

Sea Eagles lose 21-20 to Bulldogs in final game of season (Sea Eagles)

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles finished their 2022 Telstra Premiership season with a 21-20 loss to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Accor Stadium tonight.

The Sea Eagles scored their first points in 46 minutes thanks to a try from second-rower Haumole Olakau’atu in the 63rd minute. Five-eighth Matt Burton converted from the sideline for a 16-6 scoreline. Cherry-Evans converted to take the score to 16-0. Cherry-Evans was the master mind in the play as he threw a cut-out pass from first receiver to send Tuipulotu over for a 10-0 scoreline. Foran used the rain to his ability and placed a kick perfectly into the in-goal, forcing a repeat set. Prop Tofofoa Sipley made a big break through the middle of the field and passed to lock Dylan Walker, who threw a behind the back pass to his captain for the try.
