Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2428460, member: 1847"] The question of form in this team doesn't bother me - they all lift for Origin. What does worry me is that Stuart will instruct his forwards to target Thaiday's ribs, and Glen Stewart's job will be to stomp on Scott's foot at every opportunity. This negative stuff about Gillett's defence is largely wrong and getting boring. His defensive lapses last week were very much a product of a poor defensive structure out wide with the winger dropped back creating acres of space for overlaps, against a side which is very good at spreading the ball out wide very quicky. As well, Matai is a very good centre. Sure, Gillett who is not a centre, could have positioned himself better, no question about that. But to judge his performance out of context is wrong. On top of that, didn't he make a virtual try saving tackle on Watmongrel? If Gillett's defence is such a worry, so is the way Shaun Johnson made Hodges look stupid the way he ran around him for the Warriors first try. I am worried about that and I bet Carney will try and isolate Hodges all the time. The strength of this side is it's combinations, particularly its spine, Inglis, a great forward pack, and particularly that incredibly awesome bench. Maroons by 8 [/QUOTE]
