\u201cIt\u2019s a contradiction from a football performance (point of view) because you know the ins and outs, so Daly will know the strengths and weaknesses of Manly, the way they play, Seibold, Turbo, Jake… but then on the flipside they will know all the strengths and weaknesses of Daly. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll end up being a game of chess. Who can outsmart who and who can implement the game plan most. There will be absolutely no secrets held back. <\/p>\n
\u201cDaly will say what he thinks about Manly because it\u2019s his opportunity to win and Manly will do the same. As a spectator, I\u2019m super interested to see how the first 20 to 30 minutes play out because I think you\u2019ll see the hand or card being played by both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n
Manly coach Anthony Seibold, meanwhile, told reporters on Thursday that it is \u201ceasier said than done\u201d to \u201cshut down\u201d Cherry-Evans. <\/p>\n
\u201cOne of his great attributes is how well he reads the game,\u201d Seibold added.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe certainly plays what he sees. He\u2019s got a fantastic kicking game. He brings a lot of threat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Roosters have a lot of talent… and Chez is a really talented player. We\u2019ve spoken about what we can try and do to mitigate what he does, but it is easier said than done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roosters coach Trent Robinson said he has not asked Daly Cherry-Evans directly to tell him all of Manly\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-564298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
