Melbourne just lost 40-6 to Canberra in their 1st preseason trial. They put out a mixed team though with no real stars playing. IIRC too, Manly were just as impressively beaten in their 1st trial last season.
Melbourne's team today:
1 Ben Hampton
2 Matt Duffie
3 Maurice Blair
4 Junior Sa’u
5 Mahe Fonua
6 Gareth Widdop
7 B Finch
8 Jesse Bromwich
9 Slade Griffin
10 Bryan Norrie
11 Kevin Proctor
12 Ryan Hoffman
13 Ryan Hinchcliffe
14 Junior Moors
15 Young Tonumaipea
16 Jason Ryles
17 Siosaia Vave
18 Tohu Harris
19 Lagi Setu
20 Kurt Mann
21 Jordan McLean
22 Tim Glasby
23 Richard Kennar
Melbourne's most likely 17 to face us:
1. Slater
2. Waqa
3. O'Neill
4. Chambers
5. Duffie
6. Widdop
7. Cronk
8. J.Bromwich
9. Smith
10. Norrie
11. Proctor
12. Hoffman
13. Hinchcliffe
14. Finch
15. Vave
16. Ryles
17. Harris

Proctor is injured so unlikely to make the trip.

"He's the best coach I've had... His mix of man-management and his game plan is second to none. Since Brian Mac has been in charge, we've been in every final so far. I love playing for him. I can't praise him enough, I've so much respect for him and I hope he's here for a very long time." Kevin Sinfield 29/9/12:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68506.jpg |

Something to do with their vitamin regime perhaps? |

This news suggests the Storm are a reasonable chance in 2 weeks time. NRL teams turning up a week or less before the WCC is not good preparation and usually results in defeat. Manly took it less seriously last year when they turned up only a week before the game and they predictably ended up losing. When they took it more seriously a couple of seasons earlier turning up 2 weeks before the WCC and getting a warm-up game in against the Quins, they took Leeds to the cleaners.
I still expect Leeds to beat Melbourne, but not by much.

| Quote: Gary Hetherington "That's where we've got to and we would hope it would move a step further and become formalised. It's all meant to integrate with the international calendar. If there's an international tournament in one hemisphere, then the World Club Challenge will be in the other. '"
So basically the same empty rhetoric that we hear this time every season.
With the all too familiar someone said but do we have the actual quote ..... eh no ..... you wouldn't expect that now, would you.
[iHetherington said a schedule for five to six seasons had been agreed on, moving between hemispheres and between two- and six-team formats. While he has been pushing for an expanded WCC for some years, it's understood this time the Australasian clubs are on the same page. [/i
Quote: Gary Hetherington "Down the track, we see this becoming a valuable TV commodity and hopefully a vehicle for promoting rugby league in new markets, such as Dubai or Hong Kong'"
Any idea how far down the track ...... no, thought as much. |

Anyone know if Walkabout in town will be having a bash for the fans after the game again this year? I vaguely recall it to be a good night last year.
