| Although they have travelled halfway round the world and are still only in their pre season, the Aussie club sides are all favourites to beat their English counterparts.
Is there any chance on an English club winning their game ?
Wigan look most likely but, Saints were worse than bad last week and Leeds not much better (albeit hit with 3 injuries in 1 game, which is too much for any team).

| I can't give Saints a chance unfortunately. Not without Roby. It won't be a cricket score but it will be a routine win for the chooks.
However, I fancy Wigan to do a job on Brisbane, and whilst I'm tipping the cowboys I have a sneaky feeling about Leeds, if they get the rub of the green then I can see an upset.
But for me, Roosters by 18, Wigan by 8, Cowboys by 6.

| Sadly Leeds have got Silverwood, so with the injuries and poor form I'd be amazed if Leeds won.
I reckon Wigan have got the best chance but it'll still be a great performance if they win.
Funnily enough I have a strange feeling Saints will pull a performance out. Not sure why.
Either way I'll be backing Wigan and Saints. I hope Wigan are in full Shaun Wane mode and absolutely tw&t em. Nothing better than seeing the Aussies get battered.

| Well I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be forgetting loyalties for a weekend and supporting every SL team and as long as it isn't a whitewash then I can live with that. As for the games I think Saints will lose but not a destruction, maybe 28-10 or something like that; I also think Wigan will win with the game being similar to last year's, say about 18-14; The World Club Challenge will be closer than some are saying I think but I can't see anything other than Leeds losing. I will go with 24-16.

| Didn't fancy Saints' chances with Roby out (and might well still lose) but apparently Sydney have only turned up a couple of days ago which is more like the way NRL teams treated the competition 10 years ago and saw them lose a few so could give Saints a chance.
Wigan have got an Aussie ref so think their chances have taken a dip. Also from their first two games (even though they won both) I'm not sure they have enough points in attack in them at the moment.
Think Leeds will need the bounce of the ball and quite a few 50/50's to go their way to win. Think they'll put up a good fight for 60 mins before the Cowboys get away in the final quarter.

I just don't see how Leeds or Saints an go from mickey poor last week to beating the Aussie teams.
Wigan are flying the flag for England and I expect this to be the closest result but if The Aussies have travelled well and are treating the games seriously, they will win all 3.

History is littered with shocking performances the week before a WCC, CCF or Playoffs, especially with Leeds, we were the only team to lose to London in 2014 before a ruthless victory in the CCF after all our final defeats. Granted NRL opposition is something else but I'm not placing that much on last weeks showings, not saying the SL will win btw.

I agree the Aussies will win all three, but i think all will be good games. Leeds are decimated with injuries and saints arent a great side and arent playing well, i think both will pull out a performance but a Win would be an unbelievable effort from them. Sydney have some very good players and NQC are a special side with some very special players. Wigan are probably our best bet but I still think Leeds and Saints will make a game of it.

| Well the rule situation is absolutely pathetic. 3 sets of rules and looks like the players ain't sure which set they are playing to. Really shows the sport up in a bad light.

He does this every time he commentates, his voice is an irritating constant noise that ruins the game. Stfu Rod

Of all the people on Sky, Eddie, Stevo, Clarke, Cummings etc.....the one I'd love to see the back of most is Studd.
Complete and utter cretin.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |
