So, who does everyone fancy tonight? Im swinging towards a Leeds win, a few games under there belt and a vocal crowd at there home ground.

Also who do you WANT to win, I know we are supposed to want Leeds to win, but I cant bring myself to support them at all. After all, 80% of RLFans wanted a St George win the last time

Il go

Leeds 22 - 18 Manly

C'mon Jamie Lyon!

Can see Leeds having the edge in the last 20 due to fitness etc, but if Manly blitz them early on it could be enough.

And I'm leaving no-one in any doubt who I want to win.

I think that Manly will have the edge, even though they may be a bit under-done.

Like most top NRL sides, not only do they have a strong spine but they also have class and strength out wide, particularly in the Centres.

Watkins and Hardaker against Lyon and Matai? No contest!

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.


[sizeCome on Manly

Manly all the way

manly for me to win, can't see past them in this one, and it would knock leeds down a peg or two, met too many arrogant fans of theirs lately. Honest opinion is manly by 16, they're pack is very strong and they have the outside backs to really make leeds suffer.

Yes, but Leeds have Carl Ablett!

Aussies can be arrogant, annoying to*sbags sometimes and I include players, officials and fans in that but they ain't got nothing on Leeds!

Come on Manly!

Sadly I fancy Leeds by 6.

I don't like Aussies, but I like Leeds less. Manly by default.

I think it will be closer than many think. I'll go Manly by a couple of tries but I hope Leeds win.

Gonna be a close one, I think - most bookies reckon Manley by 4.

I think the world club challenge is losing its edge, i used to look forward to it as much as grand finals and cc finals, even when Wigan arent involved. I couldnt care less about this game and even the one we were involved in last year had something missing.

I totally agree. It needs freshening up somehow. And the Sky presentation will be the usual predictable cr@p, which doesn`t help.

Maybe a neutral venue in the Southern Hemisphere with a professional TV commentary from Rabbits, Sterlo and Gus will help raise the profile.

I'll buck the general trend - I'll be shouting for Leeds tonight. That said, I can't see past a win for Manly.
