Brian McClennan has said reigning champions Leeds Rhinos intend to do the Super League proud when they take on Melbourne Storm in Sunday’s showdown at Elland Road (Leeds Rhinos 6/5 draw 16/1 Melbourne Storm 4/6 – match betting).

The three-time Super League champions will tomorrow attempt to match the feat of Wigan and Bradford and win the Gillette World Club Challenge for the third time (Leeds +2 10/11 tie 16/1 Melbourne Storm -2 10/11 – handicap betting).

McClennan, who will be missing without winger Scott Donald because of a shoulder injury, has described the occasion as the biggest in the club’s history and is confident his players will put aside their stuttering start to the domestic campaign with a performance against the Storm.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for both our clubs,” McClennan said.

“We want to perform well for Super League and we’re calling on supporters of other clubs to support us too.

“We want to do Super League proud against the best side the NRL have produced in quite a few decades. They’re a team that is evolving the game of rugby league very quickly.

“It’s certainly the biggest challenge we’ve had as a club.”

Melbourne have five players left from the side beaten 11-4 by Leeds in 2008 but will be without forwards Brett White and Sika Manu, new signing Chase Stanley and scrum-half Cooper Cronk.
