SOUTH Australia will today ramp up its no risk, no reward strategy in pursuit of rare success against Queensland at the Gabba.
SA paceman Joe Mennie says the arrival of coach Jamie Siddons has empowered players to be bold. A surge to the Matador Cup final and win against Western Australia last week in Adelaide ushered hope for a Redbacks revival. 
"He is quite relaxed and encourages to lads to go and take the game on," said Mennie of Siddons.
"There will be no repercussions if you go out and take the game on from his end as long as you doing the team thing.
"He has been great for the group." SA must overcome a horror Gabba history since 2010 to topple the Bulls. Losses by 94 runs, an innings and 191 runs and 191 runs preceded five-wicket failures in 2013-14 and 2014-15 against Queensland.
"We probably haven't had the results up there we wanted but head up there with some confidence," said Mennie with Nick Benton to replace injured speedster Kane Richardson.
SA skipper Travis Head scored at a strikerate of 70 in posting his match-winning, maiden Shield ton against the Warriors while Mennie enjoyed a seven-wicket match haul.
Mennie believes Chadd Sayers is born to bowl at the Gabba where his premium swing will challenge a Bulls outfit without opener Joe Burns and No.3 Usman Khawaja on Test duty.
Beanpole speedster Billy Stanlake will be Queensland's third debutant this season while opener Scott Henry and No.3 batsman Sam Heazlett have already registered centuries on debut.
Stanlake looms as an inspired recruit for Adelaide Strikers after an impressive (2/48) one-day entrance for Queensland against SA in the Matador Cup last month at North Sydney Oval.
"They have a young side like us but are still quality so it will be a tough game," said Mennie, with a competition-leading 11 wickets in this Sheffield Shield campaign.
"I got the wickets last game but it could be Chaddy this game."
