I think Leeds will get beaten by 60 points if the Aussies take it seriously. Saints look on course for a beating. Can't see Wigan I getting close either. Whitewash for me.

If there is anyone reading this who is in Langtree Park, i beg of you to start making some noise, there is more atmosphere in a fart!

Given saints were awarded the game based on their pedigree in the world club challenge, would it be better now to let some other clubs have a go at getting embarrassed? They can't do any worse can they?

Hudds would get it if more than 6,000 would turn up which is unlikely.

And given Hudds continual big game failures then I dread to think what they'd do against Aussie opposition.

Sydney have played very well, but i wouldnt be surprised to see them getting a bit sloppy as the game goes on and they tire. Saints could still make a game of it if they get their act together.

The Cowboys have already shown they are taking this seriously by bringing all available players, almost their GF winning team and arriving several days before the Broncos and Roosters did.

Feel free to have your opinion but no way imo Leeds get shafted by anything like that margin.

That's 2, maybe 3 tries now that Wilkin has been directly at fault for. He looks like he doesn't care at all.

Rod Studd yelling for a forward pass was ridiculous.

maybe not

Wilkin blows a lot of hot air in the media in the build up and post big matches but he's not performed well in one for quite a while. His post Leeds GF's losses rants were embarrassing especially when you see his showings on the big occasions.

Is that really a yellow card...?

what i have seen of Saints so far i would be shocked to see them make the playoffs, top 8 could be tough to achieve if Roby is missing for a fair few of the games.

No it shouldn't have been a yellow.

As an exercise in preventing an embarrassing blowout scoreline, it ought to be a success.

Yeah fair enough IMO. One of those that if the ref did nothing then people would cry foul for a card. Definatley not a red but a yellow was spot on.

Skybet were offering a combined handicap of 26 points for all three of the uk teams in the world club series.
They've covered it already in just the first match

who mentioned Huddersfield?
whoever represents us, for casual fans to see a big name club like St Helens get embarrassed every year isn't good for the game, but if it was a club other than the favourites it wouldn't be as bad.
