I want Leeds to win for th pure and simple reason that it will shut their Super League hating chief executive up (and I can't stick Lyon)

what about shutting Leeds' chief exec up?

I have gone Manly purely from an historical and traditional perspective.

0-12 :)

I hope Manly now stuff them. I am sick and tired of seeing British officials cheat.

Yes

The world cup he could maybe justify but tonight he defied logic. Orford held McGuire up, Mcguire turns and tries to rip the ball in the opposite direction to Orford which he did but knocked on in doing so. Why oh why do we feel the need to cheat.

Whatmough and Glenn Stewart are superb back rowers. I think Leeds late joy came when Stewart went off.

The player I would love to see in the Cherry n White is the best rugby playing prop forward in world RL, Cutherbtson. The blitz at the start of the second half came when he was on the field. He is a dinosaur but a brilliant one IMO.

Orford was great and Matai put the fear of God into Leeds. The only weakness for me was Lyon defensively.

Lee Smith did well IMO for Leeds. Peacock was valiant but the Leeds forwards were found wanting.

What SL team esp Wigan need to do is learn from that go. Sinfield likes to jump the gun in defence and overreads. Manly played on that by either dummying or stepping insie him or by passing in the hole he creates by not keeping the straight line of defence.
