Well done to Leeds.
I watched the game on a recording and i don't mind saying that I fast forwarded at 16-12 fully expecting Manley to go on and win it.
BUT I was wrong!
A good fightback at the end brought a deserved victory to Leeds.

It must be hard to take for the Australians who, despite knowing that they could turn people on their heads in tackles and lead dangerously with the elbow and yet still not get 10 minutes or suffer a sending off, coupled with having their own Klown as a ref, still lost.

Can anyone please furnish me with data about how many Aussies have been sin-binned or sent off playing our sides at domestic and national level in this country?

I can remember a few of our players getting sent off, but I can't remember an Aussie.
I call it bending over backwards.
But I am prepared to be persuaded otherwise.

As much as I dislike Leeds

As much as I loved Jamie Lon when he was at Saints

As much as I thought I should support Manly before the game

I couldnt help but cheer for the Rhinos tonight when the game got going

I guess that national pride comes before all

Congratulations - the team were awesome tonight

Me too, but I was swept up in the emotion of the game, I joined in, much to the amazement of my mates. I don't even stand up for the dirge normally.

Well deserved that was. A good win for Leeds and a good win for English RL. Was very proud for you. Well played !

Congratulations Leeds, well played and thank you for standing up for British RL.

Congratulations you did this Country and Yorkshire proud from a Halifax Supporter

Well done Leeds from a Wolves supporter. You demonstrated that SuperLeague can mix it with the best. We now need to kick on and transfer that missing ingredient to the national side.

Just wanted to add my congratulations. A very tough game and you had harldy any ball or field position in 2nd half but proved you could soak up pressure and then counter-attack in the best Aussie style. Worthy world champs and a good advert for SL standards at the top end.

Strange but I thought we might have had a few Bradford and Huddersfield fans on here sending their congratulations.
Maybe they were watching Coronation Street.
Let`s face it they probably didn`t realise there was a major rugby league game played last night.

Many thanks for the well wishes and well done to our lads a great effort.

You're Leeds Rhinos, the best in the world.

Well Done, best game I've seen for a while. Defence in that 10-15 minute spell was outstanding.

Yes, there does appear to be a notable lack of congratulations from our fellow Yorkshiremen



Perhaps they're out with their cousins....

Well done Leeds! even sweeter that i had £20 on you at 8/5



The winnings will be going on Leigh centurions tomorrow !

Congratulations, great performance on the night, defended really well and took your chances when they came

Great stuff Loiners, doing it for British rugby league. We should have a rugby league honours system, everyone involved in stuffing Aussies automatically gets a rugby league knighthood.

Congrats Leeds. Your 'Wakey' coach is doing you proud

Well done,great performance.

Thought you were going to get battered the way they came out. They really tried to bully you with the big hits. Rob Burrow MOM for me. And well done Kevin Sinfield for not loosing his wrag with Ashley Klein.

Congrat's guys on the win from a Manly supporter that was over there.

Found you guys very friendly during the week and loved it.

Cheers mate
