I wish the SL clubs would take this game seriously...

I like how he thinks he can judge the entire European game based upon one match against the best we have to offer.
I'm sure if he played the likes of Salford, Castleford, Warrington or Celtic Crusaders he wouldn't be as quick to be dishing out the praise.

NB: Sorry Cas fans, had to throw a big name in there as to not upset other fans.






We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

Hooker: Daniel Buderus (Australian international)

Scrum half: Robert Burrow (England international) after 16 minutes.

The three key positions in the team were not filled by the first choice players.

How could anyone have expected an understrength team with such setbacks in key personnel to compete with a full strength and well oiled machine like Manly.

It was in fact an unfair contest.

:roll:


If they won then what eh?

Perhaps now we can look forwards to parity with the Australians on the international stage.


Don't be silly. :lol:

So they did use the injury excuse for their poor performance last season.

As I thought, thanks for confirming it.

But I thought Leeds were the best team in the world with the greatest acedemy ever? I'm sure you would of been fine with whoever played there? I mean you hardly missed Buderus seeing as he's played what 1 full SL game for you? Lee Smith had a great game at fullback. So you was only really missing Burrow.

Manly were also missing there best prop forward, Brent Kite.

You were just beaten by a team a damn site better than yours!
