Melbourne getting around 10 start could be tempting

Start of the week I convinced myself that Leeds would steam roller em and even giving away 10 they would comfortably do it.

As the week went on, I started doubting it and realised that Melbourne could easily run away with it!! If Melbourne won people will looke at that Leeds -10 and say 'how poor value was that against the side that won the best club comp. in the world!'

Upshot is....no bet! I haven't got a scooby how this will go!

Given the rain....might have a dabble on unders.

Most Bookies giving us a six point start, it worked for me last time betting that on Wigan, so two out of two? Danny Tickle 25/1 for first or last tryscorer with Skybet, Dykes at 20/1

I agree it`s an almost impossible one to call
On one hand you think to yourself,this is a world club match with a lot of prestige attached,so surely Storm will be up for it.
On the other hand Leeds are at home,definitely up for it,and a large partisan crowd ,add to that you get the Storm coach seemingly making excuses in advance just to confuse matters

Storm are up for it and have taken their preparations seriously, they'll just be covering their backsides. From reading the papers this week Jamie Peacocks gonna be firing on all four and will take some holding. bring it on.

I've taken a bit of Melbourne off scratch for an interest......price seems to big for supposedly best team in the world

Hope its a good game anyway!

I am going for Melbourne to hammer Leeds. The Aussies are due a win they have trained for this and are taken it seriously. Leeds bubble will burst tonight.

My prediction Leeds 8 v Melbourne 30.

Mmmm well I think the world club challenge is a cheat anyway its always in britain and always out of season for the aussies. Over 2 legs it should be the second in melbourne in 2 weeks. Leeds would of been ripped to pieces on aussie soil.
