| Well regardless of club loyalties I wanted them to win and thought it was a great advert for our game. I watched it in London in the sports cafe and it generated a lot of interest because a uk club was sticking it up the Aussies so that can't be a bad thing.
Yes Manly we're maybe rusty in pre season mode, yes maybe I don't like Leeds in general...but a club can only play what's in front if them and I'd rather a uk club won than an Aussie one

As would I if the competition was on equal terms. If we need such a massive help to 'stick it' to the Aussies, then it's not really worth doing. They should scrap the format or even it up.

| It's a single showpiece game which generates interest. In that respect it does a great job, which is good for the game and over time if the interest leads to more players, coaches, fans, money, then the gap might actually have a chance of closing in reality at some point in the future. As I said you can only play what is in front of you so you can't take anything way from Leeds for that.
Is it weighted in the uk clubs favour? Yes. Would I rather it be a level playing field and see a 50 point hammering? No.

So you think that our club sides are consistently superior to the Aussies'? Wow.

| Good tough game , I thought Peacock led their pack immensely , Tony Williams looks like he's going to have a big season in the NRL.

| TBF Leeds can't win with the rest of the fans in SL. They win because Manly havent had a warm up game and its over here, if they lost people would just laugh.
I agree any SL team do have an advantage but you have to give Leeds credit. The goaline D was impressive and pretty prolific in attack. Shame Sinfield can't play for England the way he does for Leeds every week, he was awesome last night.

| I've congratulated them on the win on their board. I honestly thought the game would drift away from them at around 55-60 minutes but fair play, they stuck with it and got their heads back up.
I liked the way they tries to make Manly feel at home though, it was a really nice touch importing that beach.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |
|
| to be fair i think a few SL teams would have beaten manly last night they looked like a team that had just got into the country and had no pre season games

| RE the Webb call, say for example ball goes backwards first off, then bounces forward and player picks it up who is stood infront of Webb (thats mre what it looked like to me) it should have been a pen for offside really.
Good win for Leeds and an awesome game, no one is knocking Leeds at all just getting some semblance of reality on the situation.

Try the search facility, I was the first to post a congratulations thread on this board after the 2005 cc final, and not because of Marcus bai's own goal or smith dropping McDermott and selecting and unfit senior but because hull FCC were the best team on the day and got what they fully deserved.
