Melbourne Storm master class at Headingley? : Sun Feb 10, 2013 5:23 pm  

If Leeds can't beat Castleford, how can they compete against the mighty Melbourne Storm?

Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk are all playing.
So too is Ryan Hoffman. And Brett Finch is a reserve!

Look out Leeds!

Did you say the same thing before the Manly game last year, Jean?

I don't recall saying such a thing last year.

Means nothing. Leeds only play when they can be bothered to, which they will be against Melbourne.

Melbourne took a hammering in their first trial game last week. Although several players were missing.

Easy, they have shown before the ability to peak when required - ask Brett Finch what happen in a couple of games last year when it really mattered.

I am not saying they will beat the Storm what I am saying is they will play a lot better than today.

What is the betting Silverwood gets the game!!

Leeds probably lose more often at Cas away than they do in World Club games so drawing a form line between Cas and the NRL champions probably shows... Cas are the best team in the world?

I can't work out if Pie Eaters have actually started to believe this thing they tell themselves yet

I know that rugby league is a team game, but it will be interesting to see the world's two best players -- Cameron Smith , the deserved winner of the Golden Boot award, and Billy Slater -- up against the actual Golden Boot winner, "Sir" Kevin Sinfield.

I wonder which one of these three definitely won't be Man of the Match?
