Who do I think will win? Manly.

Who do I want to win? There are only two British sides that I would not cheer on when playing Convict opposition, Wigoon and Leeds. So Manly it is!

If Leeds can get Peacock, Lauitiiti and Bailey in the squad then I reckon these wont be a massive factor as Leeds will have the upper hand in the pack. If they are missing though I think Manly will have an edge and be able to give good ball to the outside backs. Then Leeds will be in trouble.

With forwards: Leeds by 2-6
Without f'wards: Manly by 12-18

I hope Manly kicks the living daylights out of them.

I hope Manly win and I think Manly will win.

I'm going for a Manly win this time, that back line is pretty immense!
I want Leeds to win though, even to hear the whining pathetic aussies talk about it being a friendly again. It would be alright if they admitted they were beaten by a better side.
Think Gould admitted after 07 that the Saints side was one of the best club teams he'd seen in a while.
