Would you support Hull FC if they were in it?

This. I genuinely don't mind who wins as long as it's a cracking game.

Had it involved any other NRL team i'd be supporting Leeds. But because I have a lot of family and friends who live in the Melbourne area and are regulars at the Storm I'll be supporting them tonight.

Leeds.
An English team .
A plus factor is that they are almost all English or British players.
Am I correct in that only Moon and Leuluai are foreign?

you forgot Brett Delaney

melbourne storm for me, yes they cheated the cap but they didnt buy star players, they found/scouted a lot of skillful players all at the same time and made them into stars and these players have been good for the game

I don't get this you're English so support an English team.
England represents my country, leeds represents a city in Yorkshire i have absolutely no connection with.

Any Englishman supporting the Cons needs their passport taking away. We need a bent and cheating ref, an English Hollywood Bill who lets us get away with murder, works on 13/7 rule and penalises the pooh out of them when it matters

People with your attitude are another good reason to watch Rugby Union.

Tonight Matthew I will be mostly supporting Leeds. Once this is over, however, I hope they lose every game.

Ah but we're British. A conglomerate of regions. Fortunately I'm not English, so can happily look forwards to a cracking game as a neutral.

As someone who lives in Yorkshire though, I know many people who will support the team from yorkshire vs anyone else.

Because it is a well known Fact

that England is but a small subsidiary part of Yorkshire....

Not really fussed who wins as long as it's a cracking game with no controversy or shocking decisions.

That said, I won't be cheering for Leeds, not now, not ever.

Not bothered either way really. I wouldn't expect SL fans to support Saints, if we were in Leeds' position. I just want a quality game of rugby

for just this game i would support Leeds

The Storm will shake the rust off in their first hitout for the year, they should win.

if its a proper game, tackling i mean, big hits and all that, its got to be, melbourne. if its touch and pass, leeds may have a chance, cos as cas proved they dont like it rough.

No one, my club aren't playing in it and i dont care much for NRL friendly matches !

Whilst not jumping up and down at tries and not shouting at the tv when other English teams have played in the WCC, i've always hoped they would win. I was rooting for a Wigan win in 2011 even as a Leeds fan. Same for any sport, I was hoping for a Chelsea win the Champions League Final of last year. It can only be good for our league when one of ours wins, people can question how much of a boost it is to the SL competition (due to the obvious arguments about venue and match fitness) ranging from only very slight to big. But it's definately better than losing the thing.

As far as the game goes. We have our 2 clear advantages - match fitness & crowd, we have to make the most of both. A good start, completing sets and making Melbourne do a lot of work will tell later on in the game, it will also get the crowd going compared to a tight nervy start and the atmosphere could be worth a couple of points swing. Kieran Foran of Manly said they found the atmosphere quite tough to deal with last year.

Key areas - Discipline & Errors. Important in any game really I know but even more so in this one against this oppostion. It's going to be tough to keep them out at the best of times, we can't be giving them piggy backs up the field with soft penalties and we can't be commiting handling errors in our own half early in the tackle count. If we can keep these 2 areas pretty low then we've got a good chance.

Melbourne. I only want Leeds to win when they play Saints.

That said, I thoroughly enjoyed last year's game despite the result and hope that happens again regardless who wins.

Melbourne because of Hoffman and Finch and because it is against Leeds, however I do want it to be a cracking, close game.

Leeds. Its Britain v Aussie and I would never support Aussie against one of our own.

What he said.

I will be supporting rugby league.

wot 'e sed

Shouted for Leeds all the way through, same as last year. Before WCCs I always think I will be neutral as I can't imagine caring that much about a Leeds (or whoever) win, but come kick off I can't help myself.
