Penrith defeated Manly 18-16, ending their winning streak, despite a strong performance from debutant Joey Walsh and a promising showing from the Sea Eagles.
Penrith have spoiled Joey Walsh's party and ended Kieran Foran's unbeaten start to life as Manly coach with a tight 18-16 win at CommBank Stadium.
But the narrow loss to the premiership favourites should do little to discourage the Sea Eagles amid their resurgence.
Jamal Fogarty's groin injury paved the way for Foran to hand a second NRL cap to the man considered Manly's best halves prospect in a generation, who made a cameo from the bench late last year.
