The Bulldogs have crushed the Sea Eagles 56 - 24 at Brookvale Oval as Hazem El Masri kicked his way into the record books.
All eyes were on Hazem El Masri, who equalled Henry Paul's world record of 35 consecutive conversions with his kick after Matthew Utai's 38th-minute try.
It was their fifth of the match, with Manly only managing Luke Dorn's 23rd-minute try in response.
Then Patten crossed for the Bulldogs sixth and El Masri missed the chance to be sole owner of the record when his kick went wide to the left.
The Sea Eagles crossed twice at the start of the second half to stun the Bulldogs.
But it was only momentary, with Vagana, Utai, Thurston and Mason all grabbing four-pointers for the Bulldogs.
Utai's try was his third of the match.
Anthony Watmough's try was little consolation as the Sea Eagles crashed to a 32-point loss.
