i was at the world club last year when they played manly and i have to say i was in the leeds crowd with my bulls shirt on cheering for manly and i will be doing the same for storm this year in the comfort of my own home
(will never ever cheer for leeds enuff said )
as adeybull pointed out on another thread, theres no incentive for the 2nd and 3rd placed teams to take part if they have no chance of winning the title. The only team to benefit from 2nd and 3rd taking part would be the SL champions, because the 2 teams most likely to be the main challengers for their title would also suffer the same fixture congestion at the beginning of the season.
QuoteExeter Rhino="Exeter Rhino"El Presidente agrees with you, on the first bit of what you said anyway
“It’s effectively Leeds Rhinos’ game on Sunday but it needs to be more representative of Super League.

The thing is, the wcc is NOT Australia vs England. It's club vs club. If it was an England team then Leeds would have to take the field without the likes of Webb, Lauititi, Eastwood, Donald, Delaney and Buderes. But they don't as it's a club game. And it's a club game then club loyalties still stand. We are still Bradford and there is nothing you can say that will make us cheer for Leeds
