Cowboys' Matt Scott rates Rabbitohs well ahead of the pack HE is one half of the front-row combination widely regarded as the best in the NRL. However, as he prepares for his 150th game tomorrow night, North Queensland co-captain Matt Scott has declared the hulking Rabbitohs as "clearly" the most imposing pack in the NRL. Scott admitted North Queensland's forwards needed to make drastic improvements if they are to avoid becoming the latest victims of the rampant Bunnies. While admitting he took some small sense of self-satisfaction from having reached the personal milestone in his career, a stern-faced Scott was certainly in no mood for revelry ahead of what he described as "the biggest game of the (regular) season." Tipped to be a premiership contender this year, the Cowboys have struggled to find their attacking rhythm through the opening months of the competition, averaging a meagre 18 points per game well down on the competition-leading average of 25 points last season. Conversely, the Rabbitohs have taken up from where they finished last season, maintaining their average of 23 through their 7-1 start to this year's premiership race. While superstar Greg Inglis has rightly earned enormous praise for the role he has played in the emergence of the Bunnies, Scott said it was the dominance of the Burgess brothers along with Jeff Lima, Ben Te'o and Roy Asotasi that had provided the stability and foundation upon which Souths were building their game. "We have to play the best we have played this year as a forward pack if we are going to be any chance this week," Scott said They are huge, they are mobile, they have good skill and they are tough. Containing those -- the Burgess brothers, Lima, Asotasi -- that's the biggest challenge for any forward group in the competition, especially given the way they have been playing. They are going out their and playing with a lot of enthusiasm and intensity and they work together as a unit . . . hunt as a pack. We have to control their go-forward or they will just run over the top of you. Our defence needs to improve -- it has to be better than it has been so far this year. Scott conceded the Rabbitohs have one other "big man" to worry about. In his breathtaking start to 2013, Greg Inglis is averaging 180m, racking up a staggering 54 tackle busts along the way. The only silver lining as Scott sees it . . . it's only a couple of weeks until Origin, when Inglis will be on his side. "He's been incredible for them this year and we have to be very aware of where he is on the field because you can be almost guaranteed, where he is -- that is where the ball is going," Scott said. When he gets the footy you just got to push up hard as a group and put bodies in front of him. That's all you can do.
