Eastwood will put the Sir Roden Cutler Shield on the line when they take on a resurgent Manly on Saturday and Woods coach Ben Batger has a simple message for his side.

“Sometimes you focus on the opposition too much and as a coach I think I have been guilty of that,” Batger said.

“We just need to focus on what we do well because I know if we execute our game plan and play to our strengths we are a good chance of winning.

“Its our first defence of the Sir Roden Cutler Shield so we are excited about the game and Manly are coming off a good win so it should be a good game.”
