NRL live updates: Dolphins vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles

Considering the conditions, I did not expect such an intense game with such genuine quality in it.

I should have, given these two teams were fourth and fifth of the ladder coming in, but it was still impressive.

Especially given the conditions - it was sopping wet out there.

Credit to both sets of players.

Dolphins come away with the competition points, but the big news is the injury to Tom Trbojevic, and its possible severity with Origin just around the corner.

The fullback left the field in the second half after attempting to stop the Dolphins score their match-winning try late in the second half.

What that means, only scans will tell, but the Manly star will be praying he is not set for a fifth stint on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

That should not take away from a tremendous performance from the Dolphins though, who win back-to-back games to solidify their spot in the top four.

Their three-try burst in the space of five minutes before the break was fantastic - part of an incredible turnaround from 16-4 down to being 20-16 up.

It's the second week in a row that Manly have had a sizable lead in the first half hour, only to end up losing.

Ethan Bullemor has been placed on report for working the neck of Herbie Farnworth in the tackle as the Dolphins challenged the line.

Isaako has a chance to make it a six-point game, and does so.

Dolphins lead 30-24.

Just over 14,000 in the house tonight, we've just been told.

Tommy Talau has come so close to scoring in the corner!

It was a brilliant pass out to him but he has stumbled as he's taken it - falling forward, he loses the ball as it hits the ground.

The Bunker is checking  - and he does in face regather it - but was bundled into touch.

Huge defensive effort from the Dolphins, who lead 28-24.

Manly gets a penalty after Luke Brooks runs straight into Kurt Donoghoe after kicking through - I'm not sure where Donoghue was meant to go to be honest - but that's how Ashley Klein has seen it.

Tom Trbojevic has had to go from the field.

He came across to try and tackle Jack Bostock, and then hit the camera man on the sideline.

He stayed down and then walked away with a limp, seeming to favour his left side.

Fox Sports are reporting that it's a hamstring injury from the sideline.

A brilliant finish by Jack Bostock in the corner! One handed and diving as the Dolphins attack down the right.

A huge kick from the sideline from Isaako - and he nails it!

His kicking has not been great this year, or tonight, but he's great there.

Josh Aloiai has hit Max Plath as the Dolphins lock was falling forward.

It was a solid hit and it will result in Plath leaving the field for an HIA but I don't really see what Aloiai could have done about it - Plath was falling forward.

It will be a penalty and that's it.

Felise Kaufusi is pinged for a late tackle on Tom Trbojevic now and Daly Cherry-Evans opts to kick the points.

Reuben Garrick 30 metres out, kicks the points to make it 24-22.

About 12 metres out from his own line after fielding a kick forward.

Manly has challenged, but this looks like a clear knock on...

Oh, hang on, it's been overturned!

There is a slight piece of contact to Trbojevic's head as he was tackled initially and it is that the Bunker has decided is illegal.

That looks very, very soft.

He will be OK to continue but is limping around in backplay, the key Blues star.

We'll keep our eyes on his involvement over the next few minutes.

It's getting a bit dry - turn the sprinklers on.

- Flipper

The Dolphins level things up off the kicking tee after Ben Trbojevic was caught inside 10 metres.

We're locked at 22-22.

Reuben Garrick knocks on after the Dolphins work another two-kick fifth-tackle option - Jamayne Isaako kicking the ball the second time.

There may have been some suggestion that Herbie Farnworth was pulled back as he attempted to score - but I think he just slipped.

It's Turbo Tom Trbojevic!

Manly work the left side, the Dolphins right edge defence has been a bit shaky all night and it was exposed again.

This time, the key to unlock the defence was a brilliant offload from Jake Trbojevic to his brother who dived over to score.

That's the two teams all square, and now the Sea Eagles edge ahead as Reuben Garrick scores the extras.

It's 22-20.

Manly work the left side and gets Ethan Bullem, who races down the line only to be upended by Trai Fuller.

Manly move the ball right but Ethan Bullemor gets in the way to deny the visitors a try.

Bad news for Manly, who suspect that Jason Saab has suffered a grade three AC injury.

That will mean he is going to be out for a month or more.

And Isaako has put it down!

The rain has actually stopped, but that momentum-swinging 10 minutes prior to the break could have just been unwound in that one moment if Manly can score here.

Tremendous final 10 minutes of the half from the Dolphins in the rain.

Somehow, the Dolphins lead at the break!

From being 16-4 down, the Dolphins scored off three-successive sets of six to lead 20-16.

It's been a night of interceptions (three of them) and very wet conditions.

Nice weather for Dolphins as things stand though - they lead at the break.
