Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |
|
| Ah but we're British. A conglomerate of regions. Fortunately I'm not English, so can happily look forwards to a cracking game as a neutral.
As someone who lives in Yorkshire though, I know many people who will support the team from yorkshire vs anyone else.
Because it is a well known Fact ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) that England is but a small subsidiary part of Yorkshire....

| Not really fussed who wins as long as it's a cracking game with no controversy or shocking decisions.
That said, I won't be cheering for Leeds, not now, not ever.

| Not bothered either way really. I wouldn't expect SL fans to support Saints, if we were in Leeds' position. I just want a quality game of rugby ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| if its a proper game, tackling i mean, big hits and all that, its got to be, melbourne. if its touch and pass, leeds may have a chance, cos as cas proved they dont like it rough.

| Whilst not jumping up and down at tries and not shouting at the tv when other English teams have played in the WCC, i've always hoped they would win. I was rooting for a Wigan win in 2011 even as a Leeds fan. Same for any sport, I was hoping for a Chelsea win the Champions League Final of last year. It can only be good for our league when one of ours wins, people can question how much of a boost it is to the SL competition (due to the obvious arguments about venue and match fitness) ranging from only very slight to big. But it's definately better than losing the thing.
As far as the game goes. We have our 2 clear advantages - match fitness & crowd, we have to make the most of both. A good start, completing sets and making Melbourne do a lot of work will tell later on in the game, it will also get the crowd going compared to a tight nervy start and the atmosphere could be worth a couple of points swing. Kieran Foran of Manly said they found the atmosphere quite tough to deal with last year.
Key areas - Discipline & Errors. Important in any game really I know but even more so in this one against this oppostion. It's going to be tough to keep them out at the best of times, we can't be giving them piggy backs up the field with soft penalties and we can't be commiting handling errors in our own half early in the tackle count. If we can keep these 2 areas pretty low then we've got a good chance.

| Melbourne. I only want Leeds to win when they play Saints.
That said, I thoroughly enjoyed last year's game despite the result and hope that happens again regardless who wins.

| Melbourne because of Hoffman and Finch and because it is against Leeds, however I do want it to be a cracking, close game.

| Shouted for Leeds all the way through, same as last year. Before WCCs I always think I will be neutral as I can't imagine caring that much about a Leeds (or whoever) win, but come kick off I can't help myself.
