A try late in golden point extra time to Bulldogs five-eighth Josh Reynolds effectively ended Manly's late finals push and kept his team entrenched in the top four.
Bulldogs fans would argue the try is a bit of footballing karma after Reynolds was denied a try earlier in golden point for jostling Manly half Daly Cherry-Evans out of the way in the lead-up to his possible four-pointer but there was no doubt over his second effort, which came as he streaked through on a scooting Sam Perrett grubber that wrong-footed a half-fit Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic.
