Similarly i'd like to see Manly actually face a decent team and beat them before coming to any conclusions about them. They're virtually the same team as last year with Cherry-Evans in for Hodkinson and Stewart back. They haven't beat a decent team yet imo.
True I think when Manly and Melbourne face each other the winner will be the one to challenge Saints as both teams are yet to test themselves against Saints. I think the footy style of Manly and just the way they have gone about doing things make them the best equipped team to challenge Saints. The main thing going against the Storm is the play that grinding style similar to Saints and you won't be able to out grind Saints. To beat Saints you have to use the footy Brisbane proved that, Manly have shown they can do that more often then Melbourne have. At the moment I think Manly are ahead of Melbourne but niether have faced Saints who are the benchmark of the comp these days.
