Manly for me !
Score prediction
Leeds 18 Manly 38

my moneys going on manly,,,i know leeds are champions and are at home but the way they were dis-mantled by wigan on saturday i cant see past a manly win...

If the Aussies are taking it seriously then Manly by 46. If not then Manly by 44.

Leeds were only champions last year by default ! Few good games end of season won the play offs not the league they are a poor team might scrape top 6 this year and will get spanked by Manly IMO

Are you constantly trying to embarrass yourself? Ask yourself who Leeds beat to get in the GF last year? They won it fair and square, get over it.

They won because we had an off day
The better team lost ! Leeds won due to us having an off day and a refereeing mistake they didn't deserve to get there they flukes it and will be an embarrassment to super league v manly

They won it fair and square but I do agree by lifting their games in the play offs after looking a poor side all year. I still feel they win games despite McDermott rather then because of him and they have a chance Friday because the players won't need a coach to lift them.

They did however look poor against us and looking at Manlys starting team it's hard to look past them edging it.

Manly by 6

I am actually going to stick my head above the parapit and predict a Leeds victory


[size.....not because I actually think they will win but because if they manage to fluke it I can say.."told ya", and if they get stuffed I can say "well at least I was trying to be patriotic and looking for a SECOND Sl winner against the NRL this year"[/size

Obviously want Leeds to win (why would i want the Aussies to win) but cant see past a Manly victory

They were the better side on the night and it wasn't a refereeing mistake because it was an offside. The mistake was made during the course of the previous 79 minutes when similar offences were ignored.

Exactly this for me. I don't know why, maybe I just dont rate McDermott personally after his stint at London. Either way I think it will be close for about 60 mins then Manly will just pull away. Manly by 10.

Hope Leeds win it but Manly have so much quality in their side. Will be close but I'll go for Manly by 8.

This.

I have come to turns with it but i remember being very sore at the decision.

The really annoying this is (from my viewings of it) Myler is only just offside. Many, much more blatent, ofsides were ignored for both sides in the preceeding 79. I think it was cause Myler is quite quick and really barreled towards Sinfield that the offside was given.

leeds 10 - 32 manly

Looked to me that he wasn't back the 10 (more like seven or eight) when the ball was played. Agree with your point about similar offences being missed earlier though.
