FOOTAGE of Manlys amazing premiership win in 2008 is serving as ammunition for slimlined Sea Eagles forward Adam Cuthbertson.
The 24-year-old has revealed he has shed up to 8kg in his bid to re-establish himself in Manlys premiership-winning pack.
The Avalon junior was a passenger as the Sea Eagles swept all before them to claim last years NRL title.
But now Cuthbertson is ready to reclaim his spot in Des Haslers 17 in Manlys quest for back-to-back crowns this year.
Ive got every confidence Ill be playing first grade, if anything, Im hungry to fight for a rep position, he told The Manly Daily ahead of Monday mornings World Club Challenge clash against Leeds.
Ive got no doubt Ill be part of the 17.
Ive lost about seven or eight kilos, so I feel fit.
I have been enjoying my training more than I ever had and I feel alive again.
But still not game enough to tune in to Manlys record-breaking grand final win last year.
A fundraising night for Noel Cleals wife Shelley - who is suffering from breast cancer - at Warringah Mall last month is the only time Cuthbertson has dared to watch the 40-0 drubbing over Melbourne.
Since then, hes all about creating his own highlights reel.
They had the night at the cinemas for Crushers wife, I watched the grand final that night, besides then, no I havent watched it, Cuthbertson admitted.
Its definitely hard, it gives me ammunition to remind myself as to what I missed out on. It makes me hungrier to get there again.
It was a bit tough at the end of last year, not playing in the finals and grand final, but I wasnt fighting fit at the end of the year.
I was carrying a bit of weight.
But Ive turned it around with a hard off-season and its looking like a big year for me.
A year to prove he belongs in top company.
The Sea Eagles are set to announce International Sports Clothing as a new sponsor worth $1.6million over the next four years on Wednesday.
