The confident Aussie has heard the doubters and answered them in style.

The Auckland club got its NRL campaign back on track after a deflating season-opener in Vegas.

Manly have proved one of the Warriors' biggest bogey teams through their 30-year history.

Coach Andrew Webster has kept faith in the team that lost to Canberra Raiders in Las Vegas.

Coach Andrew Webster thinks he has his starting unit nailed against Canberra Raiders.

The powerful centre has made a big impact on coaches, opponents and media during the pre-season.

"There's no respect from me to them, if I do that - that's not how we roll," coach Andrew Webster says.

In 2023, the centre played every minute of every game...until he was sinbinned in the semifinal defeat against Brisbane.

The Auckland side ran in seven tries and kept their rivals scoreless in the first half, but could not add to their score in the second.
