Misfiring Manly's woes continue, Tigers stay alive
Manly's attack has misfired again in a fierce blow to their NRL finals hopes, while Wests Tigers kept theirs alive in a dominating 26-12 win. Tries in the first and 79th minutes on Sunday at Allianz Stadium took Manly's tally to just 32 points in their past four games, all losses. Until Matt Lodge's late touchdown, it was the Sea Eagles' lowest tally across four games since 1975. Watch all the highlights as the Wests Tigers take on the Sea Eagles in Round 24! 🎥 — NRL (@NRL) August 17, 2025 It was a dagger blow to Manly's finals hopes, the Sea Eagles now likely needing to win all three remaining home-and-away fixtures to be a top-eight chance. The Tigers' hopes were officially over if they lost on Sunday, but, improving to 9-12, they moved level on 24 points with Manly to remain alive. Less than a minute in and things looked bleak, Tolutau Koula brushing through some soft defence for a brilliant solo try that created one of Manly's two line breaks for the contest. That seemed to wake up the Tigers, although Manly missing 15 tackles in the first 12 minutes - and completing 28 of 42 sets - also helped. First Adam Doueihi strolled over thanks to a neat tap-back from fullback Jahream Bula. Then the halfback laid on a try for winger Jeral Skelton, who did well to plant the ball in the right corner and set up a 12-6 halftime lead. Manly's Tommy Talau blew what should have been a simple try to bring his men level, penalised for a double movement attempting to score at the scrum base with the Tigers' line exposed. Tigers winger Sunia Turuva had collided with Bula attempting to catch Daly Cherry-Evans' spiralling bomb, handing possession back to the Sea Eagles. Talua was made to rue the error moments later when Turuva busted through a series of half-hearted tackle attempts to put his side two tries clear. Taylan May, put through a gap by Jarome Luai, then effectively iced the contest midway through the second half. His scything try was confirmed despite Samuela Fainu running what appeared to be an obstruction as May approached Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic. Compounding problems, Reuben Garrick will have scans on a shoulder injury that forced him out of the game in the first half. Tigers centre Starford To'a (shoulder) also left the field with his left arm in a makeshift sling.

Aussie fans' telling response to brutal Channel Nine move for Andrew Johns and co.
Channel Nine's decision to dump its post-match NRL show and feature a live English Premier League match in its place has proved a ratings bonanza. Despite criticism the NRL's chief broadcast partner was ditching the code and robbing it of valuable exposure, a decent Saturday night audience watched the Aston Villa v Newcastle EPL clash immediately after the Souths-Parramatta game at Allianz Stadium. The EPL fixture – the second game of the 2025/26 season – pulled in 855,000 viewers nationally to be the ninth most-watched program of the day. The game performed strongly in the key age demographics, coming in fourth in the 25-54 age group and third among 16-39-year-olds. In comparison, the previous week's post-match NRL show attracted 502,000 viewers nationally - the 26th most-watched show of the day - justifying Nine's decision to brush Phil Gould, Billy Slater, Andrew Johns and Co. for English football. Nine, which broadcasts a live NRL Saturday game across the final five rounds of the regular season, will stick with the formula for at least the next three weeks. Following next Saturday night's Roosters-Eels clash, Nine will go straight to England for the meeting of early league leaders Manchester City and Tottenham. That match will likely torch the viewing figures from Villa v Newcastle, giving Nine another ratings win. Nine's streaming partner Stan recently acquired the rights for the EPL and the free-to-air station is giving the competition heavy coverage. Nine Managing Director of Streaming and Broadcast, Amanda Laing, said. "We know Australians love big sporting moments and it doesn't get any bigger than two of the world's most exciting and dynamic sporting competitions on the same night. We think this is a win for sports fans." NRL post-game show scrapped as viewers back Nine's move And the fans certainly agree, loudly voicing their preference for live sport over post-game analysis and dressing room interviews. One posted: "Who the hell watches pre-game and post-game shows? This is great news... more people will be watching the EPL coverage than that dribble. Another added: "NRL post-game show vs the English Premier League. That's not even a question that needs answering." NRL bosses are said to be comfortable with the arrangement, albeit disappointed it is costing the game eyeballs. RELATED: Payne Haas' Kangaroos dagger blow in wake of cagey post-match act Walsh has last laugh at critics as game-changing Broncos act hailed Second Storm star under fire over unseen act in Panthers controversy Nine face a big decision once the NRL finals roll around next month, with a final call yet to be made as to whether it reverts to its post-match show or keep feedings fans EPL coverage. It's understood the NRL will win out, although strong EPL figures over the next three weeks may result in a re-think.

Hawks lay down their marker with thrilling first-up win
Hawthorn have laid down their marker as the AFLW team to watch after claiming a thrilling four-point away win over perennial contenders Brisbane in their season opener. The Hawks, who lost to eventual grand finalists Brisbane in their qualifying final last season, headed to Brighton Homes Arena on Sunday with a point to prove. Daniel Webster's charges defended their hearts out to claim a 4.9 (33) to 3.11 (29) victory in front of 4208 fans, leaving Brisbane to rue their wastefulness. "Especially after last year's finals, we wanted to make a statement, and I think we came out and did that, which is really good," defender Tilly Lucas-Rodd told the Seven Network. Midfield tough nut Eliza West (25 disposals, 18 contested possessions), running defender Lucas-Rodd (27 disposals) and skipper Emily Bates (20 touches) led the charge. Aine McDonagh (two goals) and Ainslie Kemp (nine intercepts) were excellent at each end. Hawthorn were defensively brilliant, keeping Brisbane goalless in the second and third quarters. For Brisbane, Jade Ellenger (10 intercepts, 19 disposals) was a fierce competitor down back with support from Jennifer Dunne (six marks), while Ally Anderson (21 disposals) and Belle Dawes (16 disposals) were busy. The Hawks suffered a massive pre-game blow when Irish gun Aileen Gilroy withdrew through injury, but they still flew out of the blocks, with the first five inside-50s of the game. But Hawthorn could only claim four points from those entries and Brisbane pounced through Taylor Smith. Good luck catching Greta Bodey 🏃♀️#AFLWLionsHawks — AFL Women's (@aflwomens) August 17, 2025 Greta Bodey ensured the Hawks finally got some bang for their buck when she kicked a classy goal late in the term, but Dakota Davidson nudged Brisbane out to a four-point lead at quarter-time. The second term was all Hawthorn, with McDonagh putting Hawthorn back in front, before Casey Sherriff extended the lead to nine points after the half-time siren. The Hawks had a scare when Jasmine Fleming went down grabbing her right knee, but she had her leg taped and was able to return to play. Hawthorn led by 13 points at the start of the final term when Fleming burst out of a stoppage and hit McDonagh on the chest for her second goal. But a wonderful goal from Ellie Hampson gave Brisbane a second wind. Ellie Hampson keeps the Lions alive! 💥#AFLWLionsHawks — AFL Women's (@aflwomens) August 17, 2025 The Lions kept peppering Hawthorn's goal without snatching the lead, and instead opened a third consecutive season with a home loss. Craig Starcevich's Brisbane next travel to face Fremantle on Saturday, before Hawthorn host Carlton in Frankston that night.
