Predictions for next weekend's clashes.

The only NRL teams that can beat Melbourne are the mighty Sydney Roosters and the NQ Cowboys. Leeds would have great trouble beating either of those two, so I cannot see them beating Melbourne.

Having said that Leeds probably have the better centres, playing alongside two very good wingers. The Leeds pack is also quite good.

However Leeds has nobody in the class of Billy Slater and Cameron Smith.

Leeds have better centres? Watkins & Sutcliffe are better centres then Chambers & Scott? Chambers is the best centre in the game and it won’t be long before Scott takes over that mantle

Leeds are brilliant at one off games, but as they're usually against teams where the head referee isn't the opposition Captain I feel they're in for a culture shock.

Hull, like almost anyone else who has ever been there, must rue the day they went to Wollongong. Most visitors to Australia go to Kings Cross to get rooted........
Mind you, having said that, if any team could visit a f**k hole and not score it has to be the one coached by Mary. Nil nil.

Wigan v Souths. Well Souths are playing Wobbie at half, which makes sense, as he's half the player he was. But even a genius move of this magnitude won't save them from the footballing brains of Ben Flower and the power and guile of Sam Tompkins. Wigan by a drop goal

You forgot to mention Alberts lover, the mighty Morgan Escare.

I'm a Storm supporter and I take this game f**king seriously, Cam Smith regrets he considered the birth of a child more important in '08 and Melbourne lost because of it . . . a shocking neglect of his scrapbook
Whoa, whoa. Hang on a minute. Are you saying a trial is as important as the shield?

It is only minutes to kickoff in one of the most important events in the rugby league calendar: Leeds Rhinos vs Melbourne Storm in the World Club Challenge.

The only question is: have the channel 9 callers learned the names of the Leeds players, and how to identify them physically?.

It’s funny, I remember not that long ago this game wasn’t even on your radar. You claimed a regular season super league game (Wigan vs Hull FC) as THE game of February. You also had Wigan vs Souths & Hull FC vs St George ahead of this game. Now all of a sudden this game is one of the most important of the year.

You guys should get a man shed surrounded by photos of berets, baguettes, rough crowds, Bea Arthur and a shallow pool.

The offspring would be Gus Gould clones but not quite that pretty.....
