you really are a tool at times and a poor troll. there is no rugby talk in your posts, just bitter goading. i see through your desperation.

Desperation at what exactly?
If you win I will congratulate you, I'm not in the group that thinks the Melbourne squad will turn up and not put any effort in. They are professionals and will want to win when they are out there playing. However, nobody can deny that Leeds' preparation is far better than Melbourne's for this game, they are used to the climate, and have had plenty of games in the run up to this, the complete opposite for Melbourne.
You can call me a troll if oyu like, but it's not my intention to be one on this thread. Yes, I would hope that Melbourne beat my bitter rivals, but if Leeds win, well done to them, an unprepared Melbourne side will still be very hard to beat.
If you were hoping I would resort to insults aswell I won't, because I am actually here to talk Rugby League .

Nobody said he'd walk into any side, just that any side would want him in their squad.

| Quote ="SouthStanderDave"Fact is they don't want to lose.
If we win, people like you won't be happy because 'we played a team who weren't taking it seriously' and if we lose we'll be terrible because 'we lost to a team who weren't even taking it seriously'
Melbourne are a quality side and regardless of all the pre match preparations that you 'play a part in' they have a group of players with more than enough ability and desire to want to take this match seriously and win from the moment that whistle goes. I don't buy any of this 'not taking it seriously' crap at all, sorry. Not how games like this pan out.'"
I've told you how I know they don't take it seriously now you tell me how you know they do.
You must also have been part of the preparations?
Or perhaps you are one of the players?
Coaching staff?
Or maybe you're just someone who 'thinks' they take it seriously because you like to toe the 'WCC means something line'.
I'm waiting.

What historical timeframe do you want to compare the achievements (head to head meetings, if you like) between Leeds and Bradford over?
Personally I see there being only one answer to that question: 1895 - to date?
Shall we?

If you like, but it doesn't bother me too much when neither I, nor my parents, nor my grandparents were born. I thought most people compared by the SL era now, or is that everyone apart from Wigan & Leeds?

The SL is but one Era (granted the most recent) but isn't the only one enjoyed by the sport or the proud Bradford and Leeds clubs.
Rather than hand picking a criteria that suits a particular viewpoint why not go for the ultimate comparison, head to head over the history of the sport of Rugby League since the great divide.
What could be fairer than that?

Not very fair at all actually being as Bradfords history only started in 1964.

I'm prepared to include the previous Bradford Northern club for the purpose of this particular exercise. It would be a shame to Lose Leeds' biggest win V the Odsal men from the 1931-32 season for example.

Sorry but I don't recognise those terms as being distinguishable from the Bradford Northern and Leeds RLFC clubs that pre-dated the application of the childlike suffix.

It wouldn't bother me too much tbh, seen as I wasn't born or even thought of in 1931-32, I can safely say those results have never had an effect on me.
And Blue & Amber, it wasn't me who started being selective, it was your friend who stated that pre '98 doesn't count. I think it's reasonable to consider the whole of the latest era (SL) but if you want to discuss everything result each club has ever had that's fine by me.

You failed to read my last post, instead just quoting it and writing your usual drivvel about asking me to show how their taking it seriously.
Read it again - I've made my point. And here, just in case you missed it...

So why didn't you just say you were speculating rather than having any real knowledge? It would have saved a lot of messing about.
