This is where we will end tonight's live digital coverage of the NRL.

Wins for the Dolphins, Cowboys and Sea Eagles.

There are big injury worries for the Dolphins and Sea Eagles after their impressive wins.

ABC Sport will be back tomorrow to see out round 17 of the NRL.

We hope you join us then.

Goodnight.

Here is what has happened so far this weekend, and what is still to come.

The reaction from the second match of today, Cowboys vs Panthers, was very brief for Penrith coach Ivan Cleary, and captain Nathan Cleary.

The press conference lasted less than two minutes, where Ivan offered just 13 words.

Asked by a reporter about his initial views on the match, a visibly frustrated Cleary offered very little.

"I don't have many really. It wasn't great," he said.

Cleary was then asked if second-rower Isaah Papali'i passed his HIA test after copping a knock in the second half: "Ah, no, he didn't".

The last word Cleary had was "correct", after being asked if Papali'i would be unavailable for next Friday's match against South Sydney, before questions were directed to captain Nathan for the remaining 90 seconds of the press conference.

Manly may need to unleash uncapped wonder boy Onitoni Large after losing playmakers Luke Brooks and Joey Walsh in their 30-4 defeat of Melbourne at Brookvale Oval.

On a night when Haumole Olakau'atu reasserted his NSW credentials with two tries, the Sea Eagles were left reeling by Brooks' suspected anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The in-form five-eighth landed awkwardly in a tackle from Trent Toelau during Saturday's first half and did not return after the break.

Brooks' replacement Walsh then went to the sin bin for injuring Ativalu Lisati in a hip-drop tackle and is likely to be charged by the match review committee.

Large and newly re-signed Walsh are considered Manly's brightest halves prospects since Kieran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans, though Large has not yet made his NRL debut.

But if Walsh is suspended, coach Foran would have little option other than to blood the highly-rated 18-year-old for next week's clash with Parramatta.

Back-up playmaker Brandon Wakeham is currently sidelined with a calf issue, while journeyman hooker Zach Dockar-Clay could moonlight in the halves in a pinch.

Controversially axed for the second State of Origin game, Olakau'atu terrorised Melbourne's understrength left edge by scoring twice from crash plays inside 11 minutes.

He finished with 150 run metres, only hours after NSW selection rival Liam Martin had a tough night in Penrith's shock loss to North Queensland.

Already without Xavier Coates, Nick Meaney and Jack Howarth, the Storm's injury crisis deepened when fellow outside backs Joe Chan (back) and Moses Leo (concussion) went down mid-game.

The Sea Eagles feasted on the depleted edges, racing out to a 24-0 half-time lead and never looking likely to be chased down.

Pushing for his own Origin recall, Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic was his busy self, throwing the last pass for Tolu Koula to make it a four-score game in the first half.

Trbojevic made a try-saving tackle on Storm winger Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown just after half-time and finished his second game back from injury with 141 metres.

The co-captain earned an early mark in the final 10 minutes with the result well in hand.

Well, that was not a bright moment for Trent Toelau.

He is part of the tackle on Manly's Ben Trbojevic and Toelau holds him down, conceding a six-again.

Then, Toelau just lies on Trbojevic and pushes him to the ground again.

Ref Ashley Klein is not putting up with that, and Toelau is sent to the sin bin.

Ben Trbojevic has collected the ball from dummy-half, off the play the ball from brother Tom, and burrowed over the goal-line for the try.

The Sea Eagles have been threatening to score for the past five minutes, with plenty of ball deep in Storm territory.

Melbourne fullback Sualauvi Faalogo fails to kick the goal-line dropout before the countdown clock expires.

That is a penalty from in front of the posts.

Jamal Fogarty kicks the goal.

Joey Walsh has been sent to the sin bin.

The game has stopped with Melbourne second rower Ativalu Lisati clutching his ankle on the ground.

On another day, Melbourne would have a second try.

A dominant start to the second half has been rewarded with a try for the Melbourne Storm.

Right winger Will Warbrick is on the end of a long cut-out pass by Trent Toelau, and he is able to ground the ball in the corner with one hand.

Fullback Sualauvi Faalogo misses the conversion attempt from the right touchline.

Sea Eagles 24

Storm 4

Melbourne had a scrum just 10 metres out.

This is their best chance to score in the match, thus far.

But the Storm's attack is lacking polish.

Harry Grant, with no options, put in a grubber kick on the fourth tackle. But Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic is in the right spot to clean up and end Melbourne's attack.

Sea Eagles 24

Storm 0

Melbourne has dominated the field position for the opening seven minutes of this half.

They have played a lot of footy in Manly's half.

To the Sea Eagles' credit, they have produced two stops near the goal-line.

Storm 0

There is bad news for the Manly Sea Eagles.

Luke Brooks has not come onto the field for the second half.

ABC Sport sideline eye Ruan Sims is reporting that the Sea Eagles are worried about an ACL issue in Brooks's knee.

Melbourne has the first use of the footy in the second half, trailing 24-0.

The Storm have a nice set, without incident.

Cam Munster kicks on the fourth tackle, and a terrific chase from the Storm pins Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic inside the 10-metre line.

A dominant 40 minutes for the Manly Sea Eagles come to an end.

Enforcer Haumole Olakau'atu, who was left out of the NSW team in State of Origin Game II, has made a statement to Blues selectors with two tries in the opening 11 minutes.

Tries to Jason Saab and Tolutau Koula have Manly in a prime position to win tonight.

Melbourne lost winger Moses Leo to a concussion, and Joe Chan also came off late in the first half — adding further disruption to the Storm's edge defence.

This match could already be over.

The Storm drop the ball, essentially underneath their own goal posts.

The Sea Eagles pick up the ball and Jake Trbojevic charges to the line.

The Sea Eagles then shift to the left, and centre Tolutau Koula scores in the corner.

Jamal Fogarty converts from near the left touchline.

Sea Eagles 24

Storm 0

Manly halfback Jamal Fogarty put up a high, spiral bomb.

The Storm let it bounce, and it goes over the touchline.

It's a 40/20.

Melbourne is stunned, but it is a 40/20.

The Sea Eagles have an attacking set at the goal-line, but the Storm hold on.

Terrific from the Manly Sea Eagles.

Prop Ethan Bullemor made a line break to put the Sea Eagles in an attacking position.

Two plays later, halfback Jamal Fogarty put up a kick for winger Jason Saab.

The Manly winger jumped over Melbourne's Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown, caught the ball cleanly, and scored the try.

Fogarty converts from near the right touchline.

Sea Eagles 18

Storm 0

The Melbourne Storm have slowly worked their way back into the contest.

They have found some success attacking the right.

But Manly lock Jake Trbojevic has produced a crunching tackle on Melbourne's Joe Chan.

Trbojevic got low, hit Chan in the mid-section, and forced the ball loose.

ABC Sport's Ruan Sims has some advice for Joe Chan: Do not run it straight at Jake Trbojevic.

Jake Trbojevic has one of the best tackle techniques in the NRL.
