I was thinking that, he does get pushed off a bit in tackles.

He is def a spot player for apposing teams. Grab tackler. Not exactly Tim Smith in defence but it is his major weakness. Makes up for it with ball in hand but will cost him an origin jumper.

Todd's tackling is hit and miss at times, but I wouldn't say he shirks it. Has made some pretty crucial tackles as well.

First up contact seems to be the big factor, a lot of the time he ends up riding people to the ground over 4-5m lol.

Going to try make it out to Shark Park for this one after work.

Will Team Gronk be in the usual compass breaking position?

In all fairness, that's the curse of playing in the halves. You're expected to create miracles in attack, but have guys twice your size running at you all day, but you're rubbished for not tackling them all.

I don't find Todd's defence to be that much of a liability. If he was one on one with a bigger bloke and with no one there to support him, sure, that's a tramplin'. But there's always someone there to come in and clean up, and it's obviously planned to be that way. We haven't seen too many tries scored by guys just getting through Toddy.

I just remember recent games where Inglis has played against Todd, all bar the game we beat them in last yr at Sharks Inglis was looking for him.

I'm sure he will be. The boys will be prepared. Lewis will have his back.

It will be pretty unfair to not pick last years team after they went so close. And considering Queensland finally look a bit iffy
