Once again they did it off the back of winger Dominic Young, who scored their first try when he carried Montoya over the line and played a crucial role in their second.

After he marked a cross-field kick, he sprinted to take a 20-metre tap and put Lachlan Miller into space before Greg Marzhew scored on the other wing on the next play.

Young was dropped only a fortnight ago, but since his return last week the Sydney Roosters-bound winger has scored four tries against Manly before starring against the Warriors.

The Knights also went in through Tyson Frizell and Crossland via kicks before the break and looked home at 22-6.

But the Warriors were valiant, as they threatened to repeat their comeback from 20-0 down against Cronulla last week.

Shaun Johnson was again brilliant down the right edge, putting Adam Pompey over for two tries.

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad also impressed at fullback, as he and Johnson combined to help put Edward Kosi over to narrow the margin to four with 23 minutes to play.

The Warriors crossed once more through Jackson Ford after Mann’s match-sealing try, but ultimately there was too much to do, and the Auckland-based side’s hopes of drawing level with ladder-leaders Brisbane were extinguished.
