NRL live updates: Rabbitohs vs Sea Eagles, Titans smash Warriors ...

This has not been a classic.

But there's always the chance for a grandstand finish...

And yes, I am hoping when I say that.

But was there a Manly lead runner that gets in the way?

There was, Keaon Koloamatangi was blocked by Ben Condon and that chalks off the try.

A score for Manly would have made things interesting - not least because there hasn't been a score in this game since the 21st minute.

But if Manly could crash over, they could manage to get something out of the contest.

A second high tackle for the match for Jack Wighton, and he's on report for this one.

Souths have really burst into life in the last couple of minutes.

This time it's Jacob Gagai who drives down the right wing and chases hard for the line.

He is smashed by a combination of Manly chasing tacklers and then, after a bit of freneticism, there is a knock on.

Interesting for Jye Gray - who takes a brilliant catch to diffuse a bomb.

He gets cramp though after being tackled.

It's been a grueling, grinding sort of match, so perhaps a lot of the players are starting to feel it a bit.

Oh that's a nasty one for Jai Arrow.

He was bound in the tackle and got a shoulder to the head.

The Bunker had a look at it, and said no.

Incredibly, Arrow is going to stay out there? Surely not..

Toafofoa Sipley absolutely hit him with the shoulder to the head, I guess in the grand scheme of things it's a relatively low impact collision, but it sure looked like a shoulder to the head.

And it's clearly affected Arrow, who looks dazed in truth.

Thankfully, the bunker doctor says Arrow needs to go off for an HIA and not play the ball, but I still have no idea how the referee can look at that contact and not rule and infringement.

Manly needed a good start and they almost got it straight away.

A strong run from Ethan Bullemor releases Karl Lawton to have the first linebreak of the night. (Yeah, it's been one of those).

He had options to the left of him, an option to the right and in the end, he messed it up as a backtracking Alex Johnston did just enough to force a poor pass.

Manly-Warringah are holding onto the ball first, attacking from right to left as we see things on our screens.

 Meanwhile, as you might expect, Des Hasler was pretty pleased with his team's efforts.

He was particularly impressed with his halves partners Jayden Campbell and Kieran Foran.

"He showed today just how dangerous he can be," Hasler said of Campbell.

"JC is instinctive. He creates points and line breaks around him."

As for Foran, Haser admitted to something approaching alchemy with his 33-year-old skipper.

"You rub a fossil long and hard enough you get a diamond don't you," Hasler said, showing an alarming lack of knowledge about earth processes.

Nonetheless, Foran was brilliant for the Titans.

Let's look back at what some of the coaches have said from today's matches, shall we?

Warriors coach Andrew Webster said his players were "devastated" by their heavy defeat to the Titans earlier on.

"We got what we deserved. Today is very embarrassing, but we can definitely come back," Webster said.

"We got rolled completely down the field. Every single player is accountable for that today.

"It's unbelievable. Physically, we were really poor. The boys know it. They're devastated.

"The Titans are so fast and when you don't turn up they're capable of destroying you and they did that."

The conditions are not helping, let's make that clear, but this is going to be a game for the purists.

Souths have been good, they've completed 21 of 23 sets so far in the match.

But there's very little to write home about aside from the two tries to Richard Kennar and Jye Gray.

Souths will be pleased with their defence though - keeping Manly scoreless through 40m minutes of tough football.

Right at the death of the half, Johnston raced towards the corner looking for his 193rd NRL try.

But as he dived for the corner from a mile out and hoped for the slippery surface to slide him across the line, the plugged and lost the ball.

Not a great end to the half, but oddly appropriate on a night where errors are ruling great play at the moment.

Not great news for Souths, but it looks like Cody Walker is struggling with a pec injury? or a shoulder? He's out in the back of play and with the trainer.

He got hit by Tommy Talau and has pulled up very sore.

Nice little moment there, and a nice little move for the youngster.

Jye Grey was fed by Cody Walker, the 170 cm-tall 20-year-old took the ball to the line at pace, showed a hint of a dummy before scooting over.

Walker gets closer with the kick but still misses, it's 8-0.

I hesitate to even call that a scrum, it was more a melee of disgruntled forwards who look upset about being wet and having to bend enough to have water run into their eyes.

There is a bit of a coming together, neither team wants to back down, but they eventually loosely cuddle together enough for the ball to be fed out the back and Souths to continue their pressure.

Interesting - Chris Butler just needed a bit of work on the back of his knee/top of his calf there.

Chris Sutton is running the line, with Wyatt Raymond listed as the senior review official...

One to keep our eyes on.

Richard Kennar bursts through a massive gap to dot down and capitalise on Souths' first real attacking opportunity.

Tolutau Koula came tearing out of the line - and looking at the replay, I'm not sure why he did.

Cody Walker misses the kick, it remains 4-0.

Both teams are testing each other with some towering bombs.

But the rain appears to be easing so perhaps the two teams might be able to start playing a bit soon.

The Olympic stadium looks as soggy as an Olympic pool.

Frankly, it's as dank and dark as you could possibly imagine and looks particularly unwelcoming out there tonight.
