Too good to be true? : Tue Jan 12, 2010 8:33 pm  

Just looked on skybet, crusaders have just +20 start on Leeds. Doesn't sound like anywhere near enough to me.

Ok so i'm bored. Still a month to go!

Going for that one.........all things point to a good score, world club challenge after players vying for places and they will want to hit the ground running with a good convincing win to get confidence levels up...sounds a cert.

Early season games rarely produce the scores you think.

Big scores don't usually happen at this stage.

Normally I would agree with you, 2 teams with full squads to select from in what will probably be muddy conditions should result in a close game, but in this case you have some team held together by sticky tape with the only 17 players they have to date (without relying on the kids they have made full time) Vs Leeds who will probably be better than last year! They should win by 40.

Yea but that's Cas. A season without high blood pressure during every match wouldn't be any fun.

All I will say on this is check our first day results for the past few seasons. We don't usually hit the ground running, and this is a big day for Crusaders.

Leeds wont win by 20 I assure you.
They'll run out winners but it will be close for 65 minutes I bet.
Crusaders have signed a couple of good young NRL players, unproven but with a decent amount of first grade behind them.

Leeds will win at a canter even Noble has admitted Celtic aren't ready to play yet.

Its up to 24 now so quite a few people must have taken the bet at 20.
I cant believe Thacks and Raynor are playing. Surely they cant be match fit!
