Just had a look at the team - on paper I think we have a better side. I hope it's a close game and we sneak home with a win. We never start well down there so that's important to fix. Even in the great ambush in 2010 we were down 10-nil or something like that. I want big games out of several players - our captains, Ben Hunt, Gillett and Reed.
Hodges and Parker need to show some strong leadership against a side that has the wood all over us. Those two come from an era where it wasn't all one-way traffic against the Storm and need to show belief that they are beatable.
Ben Hunt had probably his worse game the last time the two sides met. I don't want to be overly critical as most of the side were poor that night but he is back to his scintillating best and he needs to show he can do it against more highly fancied sides.
I hang a fair bit of **** on Gillett but his efforts lately have been absolutely immense. On Friday he proved he is a match winner of world class standard.
Reed's form has improved out of sight as well. His defense is good and he's finding the line. Not sure who he is marking, Chambers or Fonua, but both will be good battles.
