It turned out to be the biggest rivalry in 2013 with the two sides playing four times throughout the season including the decider so you can just imagine the intensity and atmosphere that will be on show when the Tricolours take on Manly in the much anticipated round four clash at Allianz Stadium.
Looking at the draw ahead for the new year, five-eighth James Maloney pinpointed the Grand Final rematch and said despite the fact that both sides will probably ignore the talk pre-game you can be sure that there will be an extra bit of added motivation for both sides.
"That clash will no doubt be a huge one," he said.
"Manly will definitely have a point to prove after we beat them on a few occasions last year, they will be looking to turn the tables so we'll be ready to go."

Maloney also paid tribute to the great crowds throughout the entire 2013 season and hoped that Rooster fans would back up and do it all over agin in 2014.
"I was blown away by the noise and excitement that our Members brought to each and every home game last season," he said.
"It really gave the boys a big lift when we needed to make sure we got the job done and they shouldn't underestimate the impact they have on our performance."
"Personally I'm really hoping that continues in 2014 and even goes to another level and what better place to do it than at our huge game with Manly."
Maloney was also excited about to the two blockbuster home games which wrap up the regular season against both the Melbourne Storm and arch rivals the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
"You know that both teams will be strong and there or there a bouts at the back end of the year so it will be great to be able to challenge them in front of a vocal home crowd."
