The Manly Sea Eagles are now just one win outside of the top eight following their 36‑16 win over Newcastle Knights yesterday afternoon.
Now sitting at 11th on the NRL ladder, the Sea Eagles are two competition points outside of the top eight with a four‑team logjam between seventh and 10th sitting just above them.
Newcastle's 20‑point defeat was their 13th straight loss, equalling a club record that was racked up in the first half of the 2005 season.
In another game, the Raiders thrashed the Rabbitohs 54-4.
Meanwhile, the Sharks will take on the Titans at 9 tonight.
