2007 Round 22 vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles:

Jesse Royal is plonked onto his back. Glenn Stewart dives over ... ... to score the opening try ... ... for Manly Warringah. Matt Orford is latched onto ... ... and pulled down by Steve Simpson. Brent Kite can't get past the top defence of Michael Young. Anthony Watmough leaves a Knights defender in his wake. Jack Afamasaga has Cooper Vuna hanging onto him ... ... but it's too late as Jack Afamasaga scores. Chris Hicks ... ... races away ... ... setting up an easy try for Jamie Lyon ... ... which Manly are happy about ... ... and Newcastle are not ... ... because at 20-0, that's GAME OVER! Michael Robertson is landed on by Brad Tighe. Steve Bell brushes off Josh Perry. Jamie Lyon, in all probability, about to beat Josh Perry's ankle-tap. Glenn Hall can't push off Steve Simpson. Anthony Watmough is tackled around the collar. Kurt Gidley puts the fend on Anthony Watmough. Steve Bell is pulled down by George Carmont. Jamie Lyon is cut down by Daniel Abraham. James McManus is driven backwards by some Manly defenders. Jesse Royal and Kirk Reynoldson watch on from the Knights bench in horror. George Carmont is downcast. Newcastle line up after conceding another try. Kurt Gidley is none too happy with the result. The Knights hang their heads after another heavy loss. Brian Smith comes under heat after the game.
