From Sunday News in NZ
Ropati v Lyon
It would be hard to find two centres in better form. Ropati has emerged from a horror start to the year to become the Warriors most potent attacking weapon. And Lyon has silenced his peers who voted him most over-rated player, having found the form that eluded him earlier in the season
Fien v Monaghan
Fien has really stepped up since being promoted to the starting line-up several weeks ago. His kicking game out of dummy half has taken pressure off others in the team and has made the Warriors harder to read on attack. Monaghan was in devastating form earlier on in the year at halfback and has been equally impressive at hooker
Rovelli v Orford
Rovelli has improved out of sight this season. Today however, he will have his work cut out against arguably one of the best in the business- Orford. The Manly play-maker heads into the game having recovered from a thigh injury and will be eager to hit some form ahead of the finals. Look for Rovelli to attack the line
Wiki v Watmough
This clash looms as one of the most exciting of the afternoon. In a classic "old school" versus "new school" battle, expect some fireworks. Watmough is one of the most exciting talents in the game at the moment, while Wiki continues to be one of the games hardest hitters. The Warriors defence will need to contain the Manly star as he has a habit of scoring tries
