hi,

i am new to the sport, but i like it. i know there was a nrl thread in the past, but it died, so whatever. therefore, i am starting a new thread right ahead of the world club chanllenge. who deserves to win it more, leeds or manly?

The NRL competition is head and shoulders above super league, even if I don't like Manly...I'm still expecting them to win.

i still need to see it. i enjoyed the super league games i've seen so far, though.

I'm not crazy about the bunnies. I'll go for canterbury, newcastle, gold coast, penrith, cronulla and canberra. I don't really have a favourite, I just have teams I like and teams I don't

Screw the "Super League"

GO THE NRL!

More Importantly!

GO THE...

Warriors should be interesting this year, I've never seen them back-up a good year...however their team is very young and very talented...Shaun Johnson is going to be a top class player.

i guess now that i have some basic understanding of the game the next step would be to discover which teams and players to follow. following a sport without having faves is boring.

i saw the wigan vs leeds game on saturday and leeds were totally outplayed, so i guess manly are the favourites in the world club challenge. btw, how prestigious is that title?

Does this have to be a thread exclusively about League or can we talk about rugby as well? It's just because I haven't seen any threads about the latter and it's the only kind of rugby I watch.

azdaja · Feb 13th, 2012, 12:33 PM

well, i don't mind it. i watch both codes, i even watch sevens sometimes, but usually only international matches. i don't know how many people on tennisforum follow rugby and it might make sense to have fans of both codes in one place.

Huge fan of many sports here. And I say that, without a doubt, the NRL is # 1 league in the world.

The world cup challenge? Not very, Manly will be using it as a warm-up and game-time for the NRL season.

the storm are still most talented team in the competition and should win it this year.

The schools comp uses League rules and I've filled in a couple of times! Love the competition in the real NRL, kind of hope storm take it out.

Hmm. Melbourne have the 'big three', but their roster looks like it is lacking some depth. However, if Cronk/Slater/Smith are firing it may not even matter.
