Defensive line speed is crucial to stand a chance against Manly, especially on the edges and out wide. Give Lyon and Matai room and it's curtains. Both of them need to be put on the ground as soon as they get the ball, or at least before they offload.
Equally, if either of our wingers gets sucked in off their wing and let in a try they ought to be dropped for a month.

This is what I want to see from Thaiday tomorrow.

If he has any desire at all to play Origin, you can expect one of the best games Hunt has ever delivered on Sunday. Mal will be watching.

I think the wet conditions would benefit us if it does rain. Manly get a bit conservative in the wet conditions, they don't tend to throw the ball around as much. If we can get them into a grinding match, I'm sure our forward pack would be able to do the job.
I hope the defense is aggressive. Try and force some errors considering it would be harder to hold the ball.

I think there's a line between atmosphere and abuse.
Generally speaking, I think our crowds aren't vocal enough. I think it's our duty as supporters to give heaps to the opposition. The crowd commentary and heckling is a large part of why I like to go to live games.
Even so, it pays to remember that it's not everyone's cup of tea, particularly families and old timers. Quite possible to rip in and have a good time without making it unnecessarily uncomfortable for others.
Just my 2c.

Just want to see Barba have a go and get involved. I want him to forget about Griffin's so-called game plan and I want him to sniff around the ruck with plenty of energy and backing any half/full breaks like he use to at the Bulldogs. I just want him to play what is in front of him.
