I want a Manly win, but I think for the same reasons as you that Leeds will have the edge.
In the past I've supported Saints and Bradford in the WCC and should go for the English team, and If it was any other team, even Warrington... they'd be getting my support. But I just cant bring myself to want a Leeds win. As much as I relish Aussie teams being beaten by us poms I just can't do it but I cant support an Aussie team over the brits either.so im just staying neutral. Leeds fans will see this and moan but it doesn't seem much different to the situation last year with the roles reversed....
A great 80 minutes of them both bashing the crap out of each other and making it a great advert for the game is all I want to see. I don't particular care about the result.
