Inconsistent argument there I'm afraid...

"The ocker teams are clearly going to be better, so logically, they'll win. But they never do, because its a friendly to them and a chance to "prove something" to SL teams."

It isn't when my argument hinges on it being seen as a big game this side of the world.

Don't you think Quins would have felt it proved something if they had managed to win today?

Having seen the (proper) Manly team in the second half today they will stuff the Rhinos.

Dam how do i argue with that.....

Oh ill cover myself by saying when stevo was talking i had just poped to the toilet or was at the bar so my opinion in no way is the same as his. :)

All i am saying is that the people who i was with (except one leeds fan who was goading us), most were nutural and we thought it was a Hull KR try. Anyway this is for another thread. Fact is video ref gave the decision thats it.

I still think manly will win and that they are worth a bet getting 2 start but will not back them because i want leeds to win just so we can hear the aussies say "we dont care about the WCC anyway". Like most years.

Well i say "we don't care about the world cup anyway!!!!" "but new zealand do".

:):):)

But it's still a friendly and still untelevised and Quins are still not nearly as good as Leeds.
