Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien lamented another fresh string of injuries, labelling it one reason for his side's 42-12 loss to Manly, but after conceding five tries in the second half he admitted there was "some stuff there we have to own".
The Knights lost winger Dom Young at hafltime and back-rower Tyson Frizell shortly after, in addition to having five-eighth Anthony Milford sin-binned less than a minute before break, and while they scored first in the second half to trail 14-12 they couldn't contain a rampant Manly on their home turf.
