HT- Leeds- FT- Melbourne

The Storm are a class side, in my opinion clearly the best in the world. The power they have in their side is amazing but its not just in the forward line but right across the park. Their line is very tough to break and they can play both types of rugby- expansive or grinding it out.

Winners of the NRL a far tougher league than super league- so they quite rightly start as favs despite the game being in the UK.

We know how much quality Leeds have, loads of it in attack and a pretty decent defence too. They are not on good fom though-starting the season very poorly with defeats to sides like Wakefield and Salford- so their supporters will be hoping this game has been on the players mind.

Leeds are going to fly out the traps and hope to score 1st. If they are going to win this game the 1st 20 mins are the most vital. I do think they can take the lead and get in front at half time but i expect the Storm forwards to take control in the second half.

The Aussies have more class- more ability and most importantly the better forwards. Its sure to be close in the 1st half- i think Leeds can be ahead at halt time but the class will tell over 80 mins and Storm will take this.

BET- Half time- Leeds- Full time- Storm at 7.00 with stan james
