It's all about zero tackle on kick chase then tackle one to beat Manly due to their wingers. If we control the ruck on Tommy's hit ups we win the game because their wingers hit ups will do nothing without a quick play the ball preceding it. Their other two wingers we should be able to smash and slow down pretty easily pretty much every time they take a hit up as long as we're tackling well in contact. Saab's a cat and Garrick's like a discount AJ.
Manly are reliant on Tommy to get their sets started and relying on one guy to get your sets started is a vulnerability. You can get up off the line hit one guy hard in numbers the entire game. Doing it on the next tackle the entire game is too taxing. For us teams can try it on To'o but they can't put the same amount of focus on Edwards. That's the difference. Good teams don't need to target their other wingers and will just dominate them in contact normally all game. You can afford one guy like Staines, AJ, Garrick, Ramsey, Saab, etc. Two of them is a weakness unless the 3rd big body is the size of Latrell.
