The klown has the whistle, full house at headingley. obviously manly much stronger team on paper but behind leeds a few weeks in run outs (32 point loss to cronulla only pre season game). the way the market is going it looks like sea eagles are gonna be sub 1.65 on the day when liquidity starts to beef up which will be a lay for me personally. really looking forward to matai v watkins in the centres, should be a cracking dual.

From reading the Ozzie press reports it seems Manley are at least taking it half serious which should be more than enough against a team that finished 5th in Super League.

We only peak at the end of the season, I'll be on Manly personally. Interesting you have McShane at Hooker whens he's only played 12mins in 2 games?.

1.70 odds decent for Manly win
Report TheVis February 17, 2012 1:58 PM GMT
Agreed. Get the feeling these days the Aussies are more serious about the game and the best hope the English team has if it it rains to level things up a bit. 

St George won this very much in second gear last year and I feel the Aussies will just have too much class once again.

Looks like the general theory is that Manly are the good thing though. Market is looking like one-way traffic.

Quality is certainly a thing Manly have an excess of, but preparation is a massive issue.

Majority of the game?

Manly had a hell of a lot of play second half, but even then they probably didn't look any more likely to score than Leeds. First half Leeds went in 10pts up for a good reason - they were the better team.

RM ive been saying this for years, in RL the headshot and high tackle is virtually acceptable now and only gets pulled every other time, third man in on the attckers supporting leg and leading with the elbow are all commonplace and unpunished in virtually every game.

its a testament to the toughness of the players that there arent more bad injuries, but i think that its only pure luck that there isnt career ending injuries every year. what i fear will happen is that there will be 3 or 4 bad injuries in a row and only then will there be action taken.

Its a cracking game and a hard game, it really doesnt need these cheap and sly shots from fellow professionals. its time the officials crack down properly on this as what the young players see on tv they will replicate in their own games with disasterous results
Report The real Moaner February 17, 2012 9:52 PM GMT
Might need to re-watch it later this evening, but my initial thought was that, with maybe one or two more games under their belt, Manly may have been 20+ points better?

Takes nothing away from an exceptional Leeds effort. They deserved to win tonight, I just felt watching it that we are even further behind the NRL.
Report RugbyMan February 17, 2012 9:56 PM GMT
Nobody said that wouldn't be the case Moaner, Manly are clearly a better team. Not tonight though.


ballaman - you are right, and it's very frustrating to see. It's a tough game, nobody wants to see that toned down, but some of the cheap shots and outright recklessness not getting pulled up is dangerous. Bad injuries can happen to anyone, for any reason, but why tempt fate??
