This should be a good game. I'd get up early & watch it, if I gave a f**k who won

Serious? What a joke.

 

[ceagle]

Have no idea what Leeds form is.

Tipping us by 8.

 

[MSIH]

Got to go play cricket at 9. Channel 9 and Fox have f**ked me right up.

 

[innsaneink]

Nice timing this year

Here we go again.
Hearing about Richard Reid's Hollywood gossip is more important than the WCC. Gem has a new release movie (1955) followed by informercials and Go has cartoons.
Absolutely pathetic.
SBS manages to televise the African Cup of Nations between Zambia and Ivory Coasy live on Australian TV yet channel 9 can't put the Premiers of the highest rating program/sport on live on one of their 3 channels.
Unfathomable.

Leeds are a lot worse than they have been for previous WCC's. They finished 5th last season in Super League which is the lowest ever placing for Grand Final winners, and they are one from two so far this season. They aren't close to the best team in the ESL and I would be surprised if they get up for this TBH, although I don't know what sort of squad Manly have sent to be fair.

Leeds are a champion side - you dont' win 4 of the last GFs (and have the experience of playing WCC) without being "close to the best team in ESL". Having said that, as they showed last year, it's difficult for fans, and indeed opposition teams to predict what sort of performance they'll put in. As for Manly - who knows what shape they are in. Bookies nightmare this one!

Should of just saved on the airfare and not bothered flying over, its cold and we're playing at our regular home ground this time and not at Elland Road as normal in the WCC, we know you softies don't like it cold and damp :lol:

 

[murraymob]

all aussie sides struggle over there at this time of year its pre season here

WCC - more meaningless than the charity shield. Proves absolutely nothing.

It's a pretty good game to win, nonetheless
