I'm trying to put aside my dislike for Manly so as I can write down an honest opinion on what I think will pan out during this World Club Challenge match between Leeds & Manly due to kick-off in just over 2 hours time.
The reason I think Leeds will end up winning will be because of their better lead up games and combination already in place.
Manly played 1 game in a trial against Cronulla Sharks 2 weeks ago and only then the strongest team they could put on the field was the second half with still 4 players out with either injuries or un-available with the Indigenous Vs All Stars game on.
I predict a high scoring game with Leeds the eventual winners by 12 points because Manly will struggle for fitness in the last 10 - 15 minutes.
Leeds 30 - Manly 18.
Cheers, hopefully no injuries to either team but please put one on the chin of Watmough for me....or Matai...
Who will win & by how many...???

I like your optimism but I think it comes from your hatred of Manly. You ask the whino's lovers over in the uk and they'll tell you Manly will win.

I thought Kline did a good job and showed a lot of patience with a lot of dumb football displayed out there....
Leeds showed good solid defence and up in the face stuff that prevented Manly room to move the ball about, I don't think the Manly supporters would be to up-set with what they seen so early on in the season, it was a good hit out for them..Well done Leeds and thankyou for my beers that I will collect this afternoon from a few Manly fans.. Cheers
