Really looking forward to this. While the rest play their pissy little trials our boys are going for another title. Bring it on!

 

[WireMan]

Your boys were at the Warrington match last Sunday enjoing the sun*...
If anyones interested.


Leeds got beat quite easily on Saturday so hopefully they are saving something for you to make a game of it.

Its a funny old game though, so you never know.

Good luck.



* By Sun i actually mean low grey clouds and a temp of about 5C.

 

[Didgi]

Manly should win, Leeds aren't looking convincing - here's hoping it's just they've had one eye on this game.

 

[hardbaby]

Isn't it on tv? It was last year.

7am on GEM.

The temp might get to Manly. Could be a slow start but I think they'll eventually make a game of it. Whether they'll be able to overcome the conditions is another question. They have the talent to win by plenty. Looking forward to it.

Humerous tongue in cheek comment by Jamie Peacock yesterday. Interviewer "So what do you know about Manly?" JP "It's a nice place to go on holiday"

Good luck all - hoping for a good un

 

[firechild]

Haha. Who was it a few years ago that said Manly was no nicer than Blackpool? Some pom that was over here for a world cup or something?

 

[jbl31649]

God Damn Drop King, is it part of his play book must have knock-on and in the worst possible place.

Otherwise, Tough match. I was happy with our endurance, seemed as though we picked it up in the second half. Few costly errors, but we look the goods considering our second trial and first hit-out at full compliment.


The Pommy commentators were shite though.

 

[eagles4eva]

Few costly errors in the 2nd half, overall good hitout. Well done to Leeds...

 

[coolsteve]

happy with the effort. still think were down one front rower, kite is past it

Leon Pryce. "I'd rather be in Blackpool than Bondi"

Great game. Thought Manly could have snatched it in that second half. Poor discipline in the forwards cost you. Another stand out performance by Ryan Hall. Delighted he's signed long term deal - sure he'd make an impression over here.

 

[JasonE]

Defence won it for Leeds, pretty impressive that they were down to 15 players in the second half and Manly were coming home strong.

 

[drake40]

hey jas come on iam no manly fan but its a glorified trail match manly s first real hit out its leeds two games in to season not to mention trials a nothing game means nought.

 

[woodyk2]

Well done to Leeds. Was a good hitout. Some interesting calls both ways.

I wish I could read this type of comment BEFORE the game is played not after the Aussie team has lost.

Absolutely. What more do Leeds, and the SL have to do to gain credibility from this concept? Offered to play in Australia and then beat the team they sent. There's a slight hint of Aussie fans in denial here. Grow up and admit, for once an English team were deserved victors

 

[southwalesrabbitoh]

The pitch was a disgrace for a WCC. And to play it at 8.00pm in mid February in the UK?! Play it in Dubai. It was the pitch that won it for Leeds. And is Headingley 68m wide? Also it was hardly 10m from the play-the-ball that Klein was taking them back. It should be 10m from the first marker.

 

[Dazraider]

Leeds was the better side, their forwards out muscled the sea eagles and the backs had them covered as well.
Leeds would beat any side in the NRL and so would other Superleague teams.
They are the World Champs and who ever cant handle that its fact so shut up and take the loss

Well the Aussies have the option to host the match and don't seem interested so we can wipe this whinge off for a start. It's the Aussie clubs choice to play the game in the UK.
