Leeds win 11-4. They beat us by 7 also when we played them 3 years ago.

Well that was interesting.

I'm happy with Melbournes effort. I was expecting alot more from Leeds.
They're in the 4th round of their season.
They have a home ground advantage.
They fielded (apparently?) their strongest side.

You cannot possibly tell me if Leeds came over to Australia.
Played Melbourne in the 4th round of the NRL, played in Australia against Melbournes Grand Final team, they would have even scored 4 points.

I take my hat off to Melbourne, a fantastic effort. One I believe if the circumstances were switched in the storms favour, the rhinos wouldn't have even come close.

 

[NK Arsenal]

That ended up being 39-32 didn't it?

It must of been pretty sh*t playing in the sh*tty conditions today.

Leeds deserved their win.

every year the English teams have the best advantage, thats why they they lead 11 to 4
