Dolphins vs Manly Sea Eagles - Round 5, 2026
The result
Sea Eagles were far too good, beating the Dolphins 52 to 18 at Kayo Stadium. Manly led 28 to 0 at halftime and never looked troubled, with Tom Trbojevic opening the scoring in the 15th minute.
How it unfolded
The Sea Eagles ran for 2081 metres to the Dolphins' 1412 and made 8 line breaks to the Dolphins' 4. Manly's completion rate of 89 percent dwarfed the Dolphins' 64 percent, a gap that showed up all afternoon in the middle of the field.
Price moves
Jamayne Isaako rose $39,000 after scoring 51 against a break even of just 9, and Jake Averillo climbed $29,000 with 46 against a break even of 21. On the other side, Kurt Donoghoe fell $43,000 after managing only 6 against a break even of 45, and Jake Simpkin dropped $21,000 with 27 against a break even of 54.
Ownership outcome
Herbie Farnworth top-scored for the Dolphins with 78 points from 80 minutes, a return likely held by plenty of coaches given his role in this fixture. Lehi Hopoate's 51 points from two tries added to the pile for Manly's widely-owned spine options.
