One man who will return is Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, giving the Tricolours a much-needed boost in the middle of the park after last week's loss to Penrith.<\/p>\n

Johns believes the return of the spiritual leader will sway the result in their favour, while also pointing out some of Manly's defensive issues.<\/p>\n

"Roosters by 14 – look at their team on paper, their forwards look so strong," he said.<\/p>\n

"And I can't get over the size of their outside backs \u2026 they are all giraffes.<\/p>\n

"Manly's right edge of [Daly] Cherry-Evans, [Reuben] Garrick and [Lehi] Hopoate … Garrick kept coming in and left Hopoate stranded.<\/p>\n

"I think they can get some joy down that edge."\u00a0<\/p>\n
