In a spectacular display of rugby league prowess, the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles delivered a crushing blow to the Newcastle Knights with a resounding 44-6 victory at the packed 4 Pines Park. The Golden Eagles Day celebration saw the induction of Clayton Faulalo and Jamie Humphreys as Sea Eagles #659 and #660, marking a proud moment for the revered club.

The cherished event was graced by former Manly legends, officials, and administrators who paraded around the field in a symbolic display of unity. Among the standout moments was Tom Trbojevic leading the team onto the field as the club’s 69th captain, alongside the esteemed Cliff Lyons, who received his 300 club ring from NRL CEO Andrew Abdo.

Speaking of his deep connection to the club, Trbojevic expressed his immense pride in captaining the Sea Eagles, a significant milestone for the local talent. Coach Anthony Seibold commended the team’s stellar performance, singling out winger Lehi Hopoate for his dual try effort that shone amidst the collective triumph of the team.

The game opened with a burst of energy as Sea Eagles debutant Jamie Humphreys swiftly scored his first NRL try, kicking off a series of impressive plays that saw Manly surge ahead. Noteworthy performances by Luke Brooks, Reuben Garrick, and Tommy Talau further bolstered the team’s commanding lead, delighting the packed stadium.

Manly’s dominating display continued into the second half, with Garrick, Hopoate, and Talau adding to the scoreline, leaving the Knights struggling to keep up.
