I hope they do target a particular player.
Look at our backline:
1. Hunt
2. King
3. Gasnier
4. Hodges
5. Inglis
6. Lockyer
7. Thurston
Target one player, or 2 of them... and the rest will have a field day scoring tries from the gaps created in defence.
Also... QLD always said they would target Joey... and it never worked. Joey and Lockyer aren't the sort of guys that you can take out of the equation that easily.
I think the Kiwis are a chance at winning. But i don't think it would be wise to target a particular player. If Lockyer was to have a sh*t game and Thurston was on fire... and you targetted Lockyer. That would just work to our favour.
I'm just glad we don't have to shut down a 5/8. There's just an out of form centre trying to play 5/8 alongside a great halfback.
no doubting your class amongst some (not all) of your backs.
cutie, hes good going forward, crap going backwards. hasnt got a defensive thought in his head.
king, ok if things are going his way. not so good if the confidence has taken a knock.
gasnier, class act
hodges, ditto
inglis, a hugely over rated player imo, a great finisher but he seems to lack creative confidence. i prefer billy slater.
locky, best #6 in the bussiness
thurston, most improved player in the comp.
your forwards are total crap. the kiwis will be all over them like a rash.
