MANLY co-captain Jamie Lyon has revealed he has not watched a replay of last year's grand final loss the Sydney Roosters.
And that heartbreaking defeat won't provide him with any extra incentive when the two sides play tomorrow night.
"That's gone, that's a long time ago," Lyon said.
"It took a little while to get over in the off-season but as soon as you get back to training and seeing the boys it's long gone.
"There is no motivation there from last year at all."
Lyon makes a habit of not watching replays of grand finals he has lost.
"I haven't watched 2001, I don't think I watched 2007," he said.
"I don't think 2013 will be on the playlist any time soon."
Prop Brenton Lawrence has not put a disc of that grand final into his blueray player either.
"I don't need to watch it, I was there," Lawrence said.
"It's not something that is going to motivate me.
"It motivates me enough just knowing that we played four times including a trial and they beat us every time.
"They beat us in a grand final, it doesn’t matter if I watch the replay or not I will forever want to beat the Roosters."
And he said this week was a good opportunity to go out and do that.
