... and it appears to be the case between Leeds and Manly too

as are Leeds and Manly

beat me to it.

After your form this weekend i'd hate to have seen how many they would have beaten you by



This is a Hull KR that couldnt beat a Leeds team with 4 out and 4 more injured in the game on thier own turf lat week

nearly fell over

. very funny

. when will this happen

Manly were well and truly dominant. In truth the 8 point margin was a diservice to them and probably due to them clocking off and thinking about cracking open the Tooheys.

It was satisfying to hear the drone of the pathetically craven 'marchin on together' die flat on it's , just like the Leeds pack when they realised biffing it down the middle was not going to work.

Maybe on a rainy day, but March 1st 2009 was not like October 4th 2008 and it showed.

Satisfaction at the seeing the Manly side drum the obnociousness of the Leeds supporters is tempered by the fact they look odds on to retain their title this year.

a side playing their first competetive fixture of the season after flying half way round the world against a team 3 weeks into their season and playing at home.manly showed their class.they visibly tired in the last 1/4,but the game was well won by then.well done manly.

Decent game like. Peacock putting up the biff was probably the best part of the game.

And of course, we weren't let down. Ryan Bailey coming in as 3rd man on two occasions... surprise, surprise.

If Manly were really that interested, they could have clocked up half a ton no problem (as shown by the 3 tries in 6 minutes). But what would be the point in them breaking a sweat if the game was in the bag already?

They came over, did the job with minimal effort, then trotted off unscathed and untried.

Marvelous.

haha, he soon back peddled when matai was trying to get at him.

You stick to your kiddie rugby!

The huge gulf in the class of the opposing teams the Rhinos played on these two dates was also a factor here
