It should be as close as we're gonna get to accurately comparing SL to NRL.

There's no question that it's the best club SL has to offer. (Back to Back champions and all that.)

There's no question that it's the best club NRL has to offer. (7 time winners and 40-0 against Storm in the GF!)

Both as close to full strength as they can be.

They've even had a game in England against an SL club to warm up.

Mouthwatering if you ask me!!

Just to add they have a trial against the Storm on Valentines day too.

I couldn’t care less. I would rather Leeds rag Jamie Lyon all over the field than rag Manly all over the field after what he did against us for St Helens.

What did he actually do against us for St Helens?

When are you going to realise he is insanely over rated... Good player yes, great player no and I wouldn't want him in a Leeds side any time soon.

He's not. He was the player that got an hat trick against us when Saints beat us 54 to 18 in 2006. A game that I thankfully did not have to suffer as my cousin wanted my company for a day out in Flamingo Land.

He was also involved in the win against Leeds in 2005 - 38 to 24.

Lyon's performance for the Saints received praise from both the media and the fans. He was twice voted as the Super League Player of the Month by the readers of the British rugby league publication Rugby Leaguer and League Express. For rounds 13 to 16 he received 42 percent of the vote and for round 17 to 20 he increased his share to 67.5 percent of the vote

Jamie Lyon is only the fourth non-British player to be presented with the Man of Steel Award.

Can’t you see that he is a threat yet and is the only way where going to beat Manly?

STOP JAMIE LYON AND YOU STOP MANLY

Thats actually crap Damo. Stop Kites go forward and Orfords play making and we may have a chance. Player for player they are better than us in general. Brett Stewart must be one of the best FB's in the world and given half a chance will be under the posts before we have even realised he has the ball.

So was 16 other players. I'm not saying he's a bad player but certainly not as good as Senior in his prime.

I'll be supporting Manly.

There won't be many chances for me to go watch my fav NRL team live, so I intend to make the most of it
