We take a look at the games in our weekend wrap up.
Harold Matthews Cup
Manly snapped a three-game losing streak en route to the 26-0 victory over the North Sydney Bears at HE Laybutt Field on Saturday afternoon. The 26-point victory is their biggest of the season, eclipsing their 26-6 victory over the Dragons in round two.
A strong start got the side out to a 16-0 lead at half-time thanks to tries from Cameron Makey, Reilly Caswell and Cruz Death.
Tahj Hamilton and Logan Tolar scored in the second half, with second-rower Beau McKee converting three from five attempts.

William Lane and Alton Naiyep scored in the first half and Nepote Taufa scored the lone second half try. Captain Callum Dowell converted two from three attempts.

Lisa Fiaola Cup
Manly fell agonisingly short in their 14-12 defeat to the Bears on Saturday.
Georgie Lawton scored after four minutes and Kelsey Berry Man added another for an 8-0 lead at the break.
Ember Joseph scored in the second half and victory looked to be secured with 20 minutes to play. But that always isn’t the case in rugby league with the Bears scoring in the 42nd and 52nd minute to snatch their first victory of the season.

Tarsha Gale Cup
Manly remain undefeated in the 2024 competition following their 24-10 victory over the Bears on Saturday.
The Bears started off strong with two tries in the first 16 minutes for a 10-0 lead at halftime.
But as we’ve seen so many times throughout the season, the Manly side know when to switch on and they did just that.
Three tries in the opening ten minutes of the second half from Lili Boyle, Aleksandra Tunufai and Jordarna Barber propelled the side to a 16-10 lead.
Teuwira Rameka-Keremete and Kleo Lawson scored in the latter stages of the match to cap off a solid performance for the side.
On top of her try, Boyle converted two from five attempts. Tunufai became the second player for the season to cross for five tries, with 17 different players scoring at least one try so far in 2024!
The Tarsha Gale side sit in fourth place (equal second on points) on the ladder with four wins and two draws in total with two matches remaining.
