A trio of missed conversions proved costly as Canterbury Bulldogs edged to an untidy 16-12 NRL victory over Manly Sea Eagles.
With skipper Jamie Lyon absent after sustaining a leg injury, Steve Matai was wayward with his attempt, while replacement Daly Cherry-Evans also failed to find the target in wet and windy conditions.
That lack of accuracy was pivotal in a contest where both sides scored three tries, with Trent Hodkinson sending two of his kicks through the posts to help the visitors to a second consecutive win.
Two first-half tries from Timoteo Lafai eclipsed Feleti Mateo's score for the hosts, though Matai reduced the arrears early in the second period.
Sam Perrett touched down after 69 minutes and Hodkinson converted, as Peta Hiku's late try proved a mere consolation.
In Friday's other game, Brisbane Broncos beat North Queensland Cowboys 44-22.
