Super Saturday: Knights v Sea Eagles; Rabbitohs v Warriors; Dragons v Bulldogs

Three enormous matches with top-eight consequences will light up a sensational Saturday of NRL action, kicking off with the Knights hosting the Sea Eagles.

Last year's wooden spooners have enjoyed a stunning revival under Justin Holbrook and entered the round in sixth spot with a double chance still a very real possibility.

The wheels may have fallen off at Manly but Tom Trbojevic is back and with results falling their way last weekend they remain in the hunt for finals berth.

The Rabbitohs then take on the rampaging Warriors in a mouth-watering showdown at Accor Stadium before we wind down our Saturday triple with the Dragons and Bulldogs squaring off at Allianz Stadium.

Having put together back-to-back wins for the first time in a year the Dragons are playing with new-found confidence and would love to take a slice of revenge for a heartbreaking golden point loss to the Bulldogs in the season opener in Vegas.

Follow all the action from Round 25 of the NRL Telstra Premiership on NRL.com's live blog.

Knights v Sea Eagles at McDonald Jones Stadium

15 min: Fletcher Sharpe grubbers into the in-goal and the balls rolls deep into the left-hand corner where Greg Marzhew beats Tom Trbojevic to score and gets it down for a try. That's 22 tries in 22 games for Marzhew in 2026. Sandon Smith can't convert. Knights 10-6

13 min: Quick hands on the right edge from Kalyn Ponga and Dom Young but Manly scramble back and force an error from Ponga just short of the goal-line.

12 min: Nathan Brown is penalised for a strip. The Knights lodge a captain's challenge but burn it as the bunker supports the on-field call.

10 min: The Knights hit back as Fletcher Sharpe drifts to the right and picks up Fletcher Hunt who shows plenty of pace to get outside the defence and sprint 30 metres to score. Sandon Smith adds the extras. 6-6

8 min: Jermaine McEwen goes on report for a high shot on Clayton Faulalo who leaves the field for a HIA.

6 min: A forced pass from Fletcher Hunt can't find Dom Young and Manly have a scrum 30m out from the Knights line.

3 min: Manly produce a long-range special as Lehi Hopoate comes up with a line break and a neat flick pass to Clayton Faulalo who swerves his way past Kalyn Ponga and opens the scoring. Jamal Fogarty converts. Sea Eagles 6-0

Late Mail

Knights: Cody Hopwood has joined the starting side and Jacob Saifiti goes to the bench in a game day swap. Pasami Saulo comes out of the side and Elijah Salesa-Leaumoana has been added to the six-man bench. Bradman Best is back after two games out with a calf injury and lines up for just his 13th match of the season. Two big blows though with Dane Gagai (hamstring) and Francis Manuleleua (concussion) to sit this one out. Winger Dominic Young has scored 10 tries in his last six games against the Sea Eagles. 

Sea Eagles: The Sea Eagles are 1-19 with no late changes. Gun fullback Tom Trbojevic has been named for his first game since Round 20 having overcome a hamstring injury. The Sea Eagles have lost all three games in Turbo's absence. Clayton Faulalo shifts to five-eighth in place of Joey Walsh, who suffered a hairline fracture of his jaw during last Friday’s loss to the Dolphins. Back-rower Ben Trbojevic (concussion) is good to go so Corey Waddell moves to the bench.
