Message: [QUOTE="Dave, post: 2206768, member: 1763"] I think Hodges struggled with Jennings because he continually rushed up at him - if those defending on his inside slide with him I think he will be able to shut Jennings down. I also haven't seen Jennings pass all that much so can see his winger (Hayne??) being starved of a bit of ball which could be good for Qld seeing the form he is in currently. Coxy is spot on about making Jennings work hard in defence, people are wrapping his defence but from what I have seen he struggles at times with decision making - a real shame he will be defending beside Wallace who is one of the best technique tacklers in the game - I think if Jennings and Campese defended together that would be a real target area for Qld While I think the NSW backrow is very strong I think their lack of go forward up front could blunt their effectiveness - No doubt our props will dominate theirs so Farah could be on the back foot from dummy half which will lessen the impact of Creagh and O'Donnell. Hammo I think you are selling Harrison short - he is much more than a workhorse and I actually think he could be the difference for Qld next week - while I think the Blues backrow are probably more dangerous from a ball-running perspective Harrison has a really nice slight of hand that will be extremely useful if used correctly I think in kicks, kick returns and placing pressure on their kickers we have the edge as well - Sounds funny but I think one of the keys is Price v NSW kickers - if the great man can put the pressure on Wallace, Campese and Farah we will have Slater, Israel and Boyd getting the ball in great position. We all know what Billy and Israel can do but Boyd has been enormous on the kick return this year, I think he leads the NRL in tackle busts. My view is that if Qld can match NSW in the forwards (confident we can) we have too many weapons out wide [/QUOTE]
