The strongest defence built by Eastern Suburbs since 1908.
Do you take a sledge hammer and attempt to smash through the middle?
Do you grab a blade and try and slice at the edges?
Or do you stop chipping away and kick over the top?
They are the three burning questions the Sea Eagles will face on Sunday when they attempt to upset the Roosters and win the NRL premiership.
THE GODFATHER'S $2.5M ROOSTER REBELLION
The Sea Eagles failed to score a single point against the Roosters last start.
Despite having 57 per cent of the possession in the 4-0 semi-final loss at Alliance Stadium - and making four linebreaks to the Roosters' none - they could not cross the white line.
How they approach Sunday's match following the shut-out is what will decide the game.
The Roosters kept six teams to nil this year, the greatest defensive achievement in the club's history.
BATTLE FOR GREEN AND GOLD SPOTS
So how did they do it?
The Roosters have inventive a new style of "D".
The best term to describe it is "reactive", and it is a mixture of "slide" and "wedge".
With Boyd Cordner and Jake Friend the defensive glue, the Roosters attempt to work as one and keep their line.
But when they are faced with a attacking play, like an inside ball to Brett Stewart, the Roosters "wedge".
SONNY BILL'S $1M CHALLENGE
Think anyone of Sonny Bill Williams' shots on the edge.
The most important aspect of their defence is each individual player's decision making.
They need to know when to break the line and sprint to shut down a play. That is what they have worked on all year, and what they have done so well all year.
The Sea Eagles know this all too well. They threw everything at the Roosters last match - except Brett Stewart, who was injured - and came up with naught.
Manly don't have to go away from what has worked so well for them.
But it is up to their key attacking players - Kieran Foran, Daly Cherry Evans, Jamie Lyon, Glenn and Brett Stewart - to force the Roosters into making bad defensive decisions.
Cherry-Evans (16 line break assists), Foran (15), and Lyon (12) will use Inside balls, footwork, chip kicks and they will go short and go long in a bid to catch a defender out.
Brett Stewart, David Williams and Taufua will be the men that finish what the playmakers start. The war will be fought in the middle, brutally bruising, but the game will be one by individuals.
One will make an error, another will force it.
