PLAYERS TO WATCH
 Brendan Cholakian has been a stalwart of Manly for
a number of years and his guile in midfield, prodding

on the scoresheet with regularity in addition. Adam
Parkhouse will attempt to set things rolling on his
return to the club and his A-League experience will
stand him in good stead. The Wolves’ new English
born striker Thomas James will want to get onto the
score sheet early as a confidence builder and if he
can produce like he did at Canberra FC the crowd
