I'm English, and as an Englishman, I would want ANY English team to win ANY world championship.

Easy one for me.

I'm also supposed to support Newcastle in the NRL (where the wife's from), and I'm led to believe that Newcastle fans really don't like Manly either.

Leeds' forwards have to step up a few gears if they are going to win tonight. They didn't look to have any game plan whatsoever against Wigan.

Because they hate Leeds.


Why? It's a club game, not an international. If it was England -v- Australia then my England flag would be waving but it isn't. It's Leeds -v- Manly.

C'mon MANLY!!

Jealousy will only weigh you down as you go through life. Lose it, you'll feel better for the experience.

Bitterness, hun. Four GF defeats are three too many (I'll give Leeds one!). As a Saints fan in the Superleague era I have absolutely nothing to be jealous of where Leeds are concerned!

Anyone know any pubs near kings cross that will be showing it?

Kings Cross London?

Leeds all the way. Agree with the other comments re: why would you support an Australian team over an English one.

BTW, Mr Tomkins appears to be rooting for Manly..

sam tomkins @samtomkins1
I never like to see Aussies win but .......

As a Saints fan surely you would rather be 2nd best to the world champions than 2nd best to the team which was 2nd best to the world champions?

Hmm not sure where my last post disappeared to, yes London (long shot I know)

I went for couldn't care but I wouldn't be too upset if Leeds lost.

I'd like to see Bailey get a pasting but I have a feeling he will keep his head down in this game.

Cross over the road from the station, catch a Bus No. 91 to Trafalgar Sq, walk up Cockspur street (west exit of the sq) 2nd right Haymarket, Sports Cafe, done, take you about 15-20 mins from KX or catch the underground to either Charing cross station or piccadilly station. Piccadilly brings you out at top of Haymarket, Char X brings you out at Traf Sq follow original directions.

Another reason to hate the slimy little weasel then.

Sweet, cheers HY!

Edited

I wonder if he knows that what he posts on Twitter as a joke, gets Leeds fans knickers in a twist

leeds but only coz their english.
a bit of biff wouldnt go amiss

Presumably the people who always support the English team in rugby league always support every English club in European football competitions.

Dear Ryan Bailey,
Please, please, please try your dirty, cheap and cowardly behaviour tonight.
Somewhere near Watmough, Williams, Stewart, King or Kite will do.

Don't subscribe to that I'm afraid. Wouldn't support Saints against anyone, and I genuinely can't stand Leeds. Hope Manly absolutely murder them.

Sports cafe is great By the way HY, even got the audio on which I'm surprised at since there's footy, tennis and onion on too. Plus a good gang of Londoners who arent fans of a team but watch the game and know both players and rules, amazing!

No worries mate, if i hadn't finished work as late as i did i might have joined you

Well Leeds were resilient, but I dont think I've ever seen an Aussie side so clueless in attack.

Burrow, Hall, Leuluai, Sinfield and Griffin were particularly very good for Leeds. Webb on the other hand kept losing his head, giving penalties away left right and , proper stupid stuff.
They soaked up the Manly pressure in the second half very well and came down the field and hit them. For a neutral it was a very good game to watch, high intensity from both sides, especially in the second half . Manly looked rusty, nothing was happening for them from their star players and they looked a little bereft of ideas in the end.
