BRIAN Noble, who guided Bradford Bulls to victory in last year's World Club Challenge, is tipping the Sydney Roosters to take the title back to Australia for the first time in three years at the Reebok on Friday.
The Bulls, runaway winners over Newcastle Knights 12 months ago, have just five more days as the game's leading club before surrendering their title to either St Helens or the Roosters..
St Helens, world club champions in 2000, earned a crack at the Australian premiers after pipping Noble's Bulls 19-18 in last October's dramatic Super League Grand Final.
"I think the Roosters are ready," Noble said.
