Two youngsters sure to be watching the game with plenty of passion, hoping to cheer their side to victory, will be avid Manly fan, Brayden Carroll, 11 and Storm fanatic, Isaac Andrews, nine.

The rugby league die-hards will be two of the many locals watching the game.

The Carroll household will have a family barbecue converging on the family loungeroom, while opposing supporter Isaac will catch all the action live, a tradition his family and their friends have made in previous years.

Brayden told The Singleton Argus he was 99.99999 per cent sure it would be a maroon and white wash this year, while Isaac was happy his team, the reigning premiers, were in with a chance to claim back-to-back victories.
