Manly overrun Wests Tigers at Brookvale

Manly retained its spot in the NRL's top four by coming from behind to beat Wests Tigers 28-16.

The Sea Eagles trailed by eight points with 25 minutes to go, before back-to-back tries to wingers Matthew Wright and Akuila Uate put them back in the lead.

Uate's effort was a 40-metre run as he showed signs of his best days at Newcastle, after he busted through a number of would-be defenders with his sheer power.

It left them third on the ladder, but the win may have come at a cost for Manly as hooker Apisai Koroisau was taken from the field late with an apparent knee injury.

Daly Cherry-Evans was again superb in attack. He set up Manly's first try and had a hand in their second after he booted a monstrous 40-20 to put them on the attack off the next set.

Tom Trbojevic then had his first of two try assists when he put Wright in for his first in the left-hand corner with a lofted pass to make it 8-0 after 11 minutes.

The Manly full-back finished with 218 metres and two linebreaks, and finished the match by putting on a try for his brother Jake under the posts after he again combined with Cherry-Evans.

Opposing custodian James Tedesco also looked dangerous for the Tigers, while Luke Brooks played a starring role in attack.
