especially the pleb who tried to nick my phone when i was walking back to the leeds festival site in 2001, he lay down on the ground for a good ten minutes after his "attempt"

Are you sure that this person was from Leeds? My family once invited a Londoner to our annual summer Barbie. He left the party to try and a nick a phone. We’ve shunned him since but that doesn’t mean I hold the same opinion of all things London.

Leeds like St Helens (I’m convinced your hiding Bin Laden) is full of genuine people who would call a vet if they saw a baby rabbit whimpering in the middle of the road struggling for life. But there’s that small minority that we both have in our hometowns that would get their phone out to film this creature struggling and make it struggle even more by kicking it like a football.

Despite some fans opinions of Leeds on these forums. If it was the other way round (it won’t be for a long time I don’t think as I believe that Leeds will go on a cups that matter winning streak till 2012 leading the national media to call franchise a complete failure) I’d be support St Helens because its England v Australia. But I still snigger at your excellent loses against Sydney and Melbourne.

Well that's you. But I know plenty of rival fans who supported Brisbane in 2001 and 2007 and loved to hate us and still do.

We'll never hear the end of it if your lot win it back to back,

Hence. Come on Manly, do the business.

Just hope Manly batter them

Although, JL to score a hattrick would do me fine

That was one of the best games I’ve seen of rugby league in my life or certainly one of the most memorable!

I think the mods will make a new thread called the Leeds gloating thread otherwise we’ll just run riot on here till Old Trafford. Although you’ll find that I’ve not gloated when Saints have lost in the grand Final to us. Only in regular round games.

I want to see a good game where the best team wins. Seriously.

This game should be a good spectacle, a showpiece for RL - great skills on show, tough tackling, a few fisticuffs.

Forget it

COME ON MANLY!

One way traffic at the moment - Leeds need to make sure they're not embarrassed come 80 minutes.

Loved it when Josh Perry bopped Peacock in that punch up.
