FORGET Paul Gallen; Beau Scott is the NSW sniper who has become enemy No.1 in Queensland even earning the ironic nickname of "tough man".
Scott's repeated cheap shots in the series opener at Suncorp Stadium last month have not been forgotten by the Maroons with his victim fullback Billy Slater only now set to play his first game exactly three weeks later.
Storm officials were seething that Slater was twice targeted illegally by Scott in Origin I, hit so late and blindsided in tackles that the NSW forward was officially warned by the referees for his foul play.
Brent Tate of the Maroons is picked up by Josh Reynolds and Scott during game one.
The first incident came when Scott mauled Slater well after he'd passed the ball leading up to Darius Boyd's first try in just the fifth minute.
Video replays showed that Scott took three steps after Slater's pass before he made contact with the fullback.
The second late shot came in the final minute of the game, hitting Slater two steps after the pass in a blow which injured the fullback's AC joint.
Slater admitted Scott's hit was late but refused to discuss the incident at length.

"Yeah, yeah, probably ... a little bit (late)," he said.
"That's just the way it goes. That is part and parcel of playing Origin.
"I'm not going to whinge about it. I have copped my fair share but we also give out our fair share."
CHAMBERS OUT AS SLATER AND INGLIS FIRM
BIG DOG TAYLOR TO BE LET OFF THE LEASH
While the Maroons know Scott pushes the boundaries, they've refused to whinge or complain about his tactics.
The opposite occurred with the Blues, skipper Paul Gallen complained in his post-game press conference about Josh Papalii's tackle that aggravated his neck injury in the second half.
The Sydney press called Papalii's tackle a "dog shot", yet video replays showed he only took one step after Gallen's pass and former Blues coach Phil Gould declared in commentary there was nothing in it.

Maroons enforcer Nate Myles is usually the man to hand out punishment on behalf of Queensland but even he took no issue with Scott's tactics.
"No, it's just part of the game," Myles said.
"I think that is why we feel so blessed to be involved in these games because you do get to be part of some pretty crazy shit, if you know what I mean.

SHAYNE'S THE REAL HAYNE TO BE WARY OF
"We might put some eyes in the back of our helmets when we run on to the field I don't know.
"No one really cares what happens, we just have to go out there and like I said before go out there and adjust to the game and try to get the win.
"Just do our best, it is part of origin football and why it gets the viewers it does."

Scott is not the only Blues player to have upset the Maroons, with several players understood to be bemused at Aaron Woods' plan to seek revenge on Brent Tate for speaking honestly about the dangerous throw by Scott and Josh Reynolds.
There is a feeling Scott got off lightly for his role in the tackle, with so much attention directed towards Reynolds, and believe Tate had every right to speak out about the tackle that cartwheeled him.
"If there was anyone entitled to make an opinion it was Tatey," skipper Cameron Smith said.
"Then everyone carried on when it should have just been left at that."
