The Sea Eagles are in cruise control at Brookvale Oval and lead a stunned Knights outfit 26-0 in the seconf half.
It was one-way traffic in the opening 40 minutes but the highlight was a piece of individual brilliance from Manly teenager Lehi Hopoate.
Luke Brooks put up a pinpoint bomb for 19-year-old Hopoate who caught the ball and threw a no-look pass on his inside, all in one motion, for Tommy Talau to score in the 35th minute.
