Cant see anything other than a Leeds win. Not even a slight hint.

This is why im slightly worried we may struggle to get motivated for this match.

[southstand loiner]

should be a leeds win but a note of caution in that last time leeds won the world challenge they lost the next game to a pretty ###### castleford team so anything could happen

[JimBronco]

I expect Leeds to score at least 8 tries.

[hindle xiii]

Leeds by 60, and only because it's at Steady Eddie's. A running pitch with a running team to cane Widnes.

If it was 25 years ago you were saying that I would agree,but I still expect Leeds to be lethargic

When Widnes won the World Club Challenge they lost away to Sheffield in the next league game.

1.08 Leeds on betfair seems good value-some have actually got 1.12-almost free money.

That Cas team weren't as bad as this Widnes team!
A win for the Rhinos but not by the cricket score many predict.

[Bulligerent]

Leeds by 30 - 40 points and only that close because of the come down from Leeds after least week and Widnes playing above their station due to facing the champs.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

This could be VERY nasty for Widnes. On the other hand a train wreck of a defeat might precipitate the departure of Betts and the appointment of a SL standard coach.

So Widnes are not good at playing the weekend after the World Club Challenge. That bodes well for Leeds

2010 - Lost WCC, followed by Leeds 62-4 Quins
2009 - Lost WCC, followed by Wire 14-20 Leeds
2008 - Won WCC, followed by Cas 38-20 Leeds
2005 - Won WCC, followed by Hull 12-16 Leeds

So we have a 75% win record after the WCC, and a 50% win record after winning the WCC

Are you Phil Clarke?

Are you Phil Clarke?

You take that back!

[Southstander13]

You take that back!

Haha! Its ok, i knew you weren't Phil, you didnt mention that Wigan beat Salford 32-16 the week after losing the WCC last year!

[NEIL FOX IS GOD]

Leeds too much speed and class big win

[barrowraiderskid]

Leeds by 48. They have speed in their backline which will rip through Widnes'fragile outside defence. Ill be putting watkins in my fantasy team for this one, I expect a hat trick at least from him. Despite people saying leeds will be tired from the WCC they have had 2 days extra rest so I don't think it will be an issue.

58-10 leeds

Viking warrior, if you have a problem with my prediction you can argue against it but try not and slate my opinion because I'm apparantly a bitter Barrow fan.
