I'd love our boys to focus on the footy first but take our chances to hit and hurt hard as and when they inevitably present. I'd be very surprised if the Dogs haven't got a Billings/Hill in the gun.
Play the ball and outscore them. We can’t afford to be four goals down early because we’ve lost focus on the main game.

That said, if they take out one of our guys we should take out two of theirs ... and take great satisfaction in doing it. Payback double.

Well I'm shocked that a club says they will be physical in a final. Never heard that before.

It will be Billings they will target you'd think. Hill has 3 games of premiership experience and focusing that type of strategy on a player like Hill could be a waste of their energy. But I agree, I reckon they will highlight Billing's down hill skier credentials and say if he is getting clean ball then the Saints are probably on top.

I'm guessing Billings will be targeted because his record against the team that invented downhill skiing is very good.

It is one sided players and those with poor skills in less pressurised games that I have concerns with, they will be exposed and ultimately hurt how we want to play our finals' football.
