The Malcolm Reilly Challenge Trophy will be proudly on display at Manly's headquarters at Brookvale for another year.
Named after Great Britain great Malcom Reilly, Manly and Newcastle play for the annual trophy when they meet for the first time each season in honour of the man who made a big impact at both clubs.
The Sea Eagles retained the trophy on Sunday following their 44-6 victory over the Knights at 4 Pines Park in front of a sold out home crowd in round 19 of the Telstra Premiership.
