Melbourne captain Cameron Smith is confident coach Craig Bellamy can come up with a plan to stop Greg Inglis despite marvelling at the South Sydney fullback's "remarkable" run of form.
Inglis looms as the man the Storm must contain when they host the Rabbitohs in Saturday night's NRL qualifying final.
The former Storm star has lifted his game to new heights since being switched to the No.1 jumper early in the year - his brilliant series of displays crucial to Souths' return to the play-offs.
"It's quite remarkable really, particularly the things that he's done the last couple of weeks when he came back from his little break on the sideline," said Smith, referring to a three-match suspension for an illegal shoulder charge.
"He's attacking the football, in that game against Parramatta (in round 25) they rolled a couple of grubbers in on the line where there were blokes coming down on him and putting a lot of pressure on.
