Last week vs Eels they had Faulalo at 5 who is safe but goes 80m a game, Turbo at 5 goes 180m plus 2 line breaks and drags Hetherington and Olakau'atu over the ad line with him. Fogarty GK P2 now has a genuine aerial target - Fogarty to Saab and Turbo last year was their best kick-try combo and Purdue at centre 4 for Cowboys is a converted half playing centre who struggles in air vs Saab 2.01m and Turbo 1.94m. Manly's pack is unchanged so they will play direct - Bullemor and Brown and Trbojevic brothers through Mahoney and Hess middle which got beaten vs Eels but now vs Neame and Mikaele is a better matchup for them. Cowboys get Dearden P2 C and Cotter back and that changes their tempo completely. Dearden at 6 gives Clifford P1 a running partner and Drinkwater GK at 1 can just stay in support rather than having to create everything. Cotter at 12 plus McIntyre at 13 plus Hess off bench is a much more mobile middle rotation that can match Taukeiaho and Walsh late.
