“The fact that we had two real tough, tight losses, to think we could just mosey on through against a good side in that early part … was very, very disappointing.' - Nathan Brown. ✏️ via BrettKeeble NRLKnightsManly

Newcastle slumped to their fourth successive defeat – and third straight at home – but the defensive desire, commitment and competitiveness they showed in narrow losses to the Dragons, Raiders and Panthers was nowhere to be seen against the Sea Eagles.

“Our lack of intensity to start the contest, we were really poor there, and not at the level we’ve certainly been at for the first four weeks," Brown said. Converted tries to Edrick Lee and Aidan Guerra either side of half-time reduced the deficit to 18-12, raising hopes of a comeback, but Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Connor Watson made handling errors in the ruck in the space of three minutes to allow Manly to regain momentum.

The Knights threatened a late rally when Mitch Barnett scored a converted try in the 67th minute to pull within 26-18, then Fonua-Blake was sin-binned for a high shot on Newcastle captain Mitchell Pearce from the subsequent kick-off.
