Rugby league club Manly are convinced their wealth of grand final experience will give them the upper hand in Sunday's grand final against the Warriors.
The Sea Eagles will have a staggering 10 players with grand final experience running onto ANZ Stadium, including eight survivors from the club's 2008 Premiership, ready to guide a host of young blood.
In contrast, the Warriors have just three - Lance Hohaia, who was a utility for the Warriors in the 2002 grand final against Sydney Roosters, and former Parramatta pair Krisnan Inu and Feleti Mateo who played in a losing effort in 2009.
Veteran forward Shane Rodney, who won a grand final with Galuvao at Penrith in 2003, says the disparity in experience was something Manly should take advantage of as they know what to expect.
