The Manly Sea Eagles have thumped the Warriors 14-6 in their NRL league match at Mount Smart Stadium.

The Sea Eagles led six-nil at halftime through a try to winger Michael Robertson and a penalty conversion to Jamie Lyon.

The Warriors then hit back soon after halftime to tie the game up through a converted try to Jerome Ropati before a further penalty goal and a converted try to Steve Matai sealed the win for the visitors.

The result leaves the Warriors with a two-win, two-loss record for the season.
