The Mariners conceded another three goals last week but continue to try and play their style of football.

They aren’t blessed with the same depth as other squads so Paul Okon has done a good job with the team so far, all things considered.

Despite leaking goals they have the ability to score and create so it will be important they try and get the first goal to force Brisbane out.

The Mariners’ strength is speed in behind so if they can remain tight at the back and threaten up front, they could make things difficult for the Roar.

Brisbane demonstrated how dangerous they can be on the offensive side of things, blasting four goals past the Reds.

The issue now is how do they produce that type of performance on a consistent basis?

Thomas Broich has been one of the best imports in the A-Leagues short history and although he’s slowing down, he still has magic in those legs and head as he showed last week with a rare but spectacular headed goal.

KEY BATTLE: Jake McGing v Jamie Maclaren

McGing is a young player who is very good on the ball but it’s the defensive side that is getting tested the most this season.

Up against Maclaren (pictured above) who is looking as sharp as ever, he must be aware at all times to make sure he can shut out the danger man.

Brisbane are in a good place and should be too strong.
