Message: [QUOTE="uji, post: 2206806, member: 1938"] If anything I'm just a bit worried about or forwards being up to the pace of the game with two ref's. As is Mal apparently. What owned us in game 1 last year was the lying all over us to slow down the play to ball and thus not giving our brilliant backs space. I've never seen this (very melbourne/bellamy) ploy executed better than it was in game 1 last year. However this year it's the reverse, they have a big, strong and mobile back row, as well as at least 1 benchmark front rower. If they get a big roll on, I can see our forwards being worn out by half time, with origin this year set to be faster than ever with 2 refs patrolling the ruck... Of course it works both ways, but I think the best answer is to do what QLD forwards in the past have done, and go out there and smash the shit outta them. Bellamy is a shrewd prick and knows how to manipulate the rules of the great game better than anyone. That's my only concern. Obviously based on history, experience and the comparative teams we should give them a dicken. [/QUOTE]
