Loyal to her are you?

Joking aside, it's hardly a problem for Leeds is it? I mean Leeds in one hooker shock!!! Diskins on fire, he'll put Manly out all by himself.

I know. I know. Negative thinking from me, but its Leeds. Throwing huge money at big name Ozzies and do we get value for money? Anyone wanna do a book on gametime played for Buderus in a Leeds shirt? He's played an hour!! Or maybe I'm Mr Grouch like my t-shirt suggests.

Leeds Rhinos are up they with the best in the world when it comes to defence. For the second year running where facing a clinical fullback whose up their with Billy (overrated) Slater. Leeds dealt with him all night last time. Beat Jamie Lyon and you beat Manly - the Leeds players have experience in that department by beating Lyon beating St Helens. Orford for me is the one to watch out for and will pose the biggest threat on the Manly team.

Quietly its all pointing towards a Leeds win. But its Manly making all the noise at the moment. Leeds do the noises on the field TYVM!

Worthy mention, this Buderus thing never settled well with me, and i automatically think of those jokers (especially Mullins) when Buderus is mentioned. We signed him injured, now he has a different injury. Hardly a great start. But fingers crossed. Time will tell no doubt. Hope I'm wrong mind.

Be interesting to see what happens now, personally I'd go with one hooker, I don't think it would be wise to throw McShane in to such a big game.

Why not????
He's proved worthy of his place in the 17 when called upon and hasn't looked out of place.
If he's good enough he's old enough and with the likes of peacock,kylie,disko and sinny to look up to the kid will more than handle it.
If he's gonna be playing at our club he's got to play a BIG game at some point and there's ne reason whatsoever for him to miss this one.

At this stage of his career it's too soon IMO, a bad game could knock him back in his development. Manly are a totally different class than Celtic and Hull KR.
