===Match details===
For the third year in a row, grand final day was a rainy one. [[Russell Packer]], [[Lance Hohaia]] and [[Elijah Taylor (rugby league)|Elijah Taylor]] swapped places with [[Sam Rapira]], [[Aaron Heremaia]] and [[Feleti Mateo]] respectively from their interchange spots before the match.

====Second half====
Manly stretched its lead to 16 points after half-time following a try to Glenn Stewart, set up by a blind flick pass from [[William Hopoate]] just before he was pushed into touch. The New Zealand Warriors then scored two unconverted tries in the final fifteen minutes to Vatuvei (which attracted controversy due to the blatantly forward pass from Johnson to Vatuvei) and [[Elijah Taylor (rugby league)|Elijah Taylor]] to narrow the deficit to eight points; however, Manly held onto its lead and celebrated victory with a try to captain [[Jamie Lyon]] in the final minute of play. Regular goal kicker Lyon then handed the ball to winger Robertson (who had played his last game for the club) for the conversion. Robertson calmly kicked the goal from out wide after the siren to bring the curtain down on both the game and his successful NRL career.
