Addin Fonua-Blake knows he came out on top in his sensational first battle with David Klemmer this year.

"Addin was over the moon, he knew he won that battle, but the war is still on, and we'll re-live that moment this weekend," said Manly prop Marty Taupau, ahead of Saturday's rematch between two of the best front-rowers in the game at Brookvale Oval.

"Guess who came out on top [that night]? It was Addin. And I expect it again from Addin as well. He loves it. He's a jester. He loves being the centre of attention and he always lives up to expectations.

"I don't know where to start with him, he's been outstanding. Playing alongside him, [seeing] his journey the last three or four years now, he's developed into this bigger, better person.
