Toronto had a baptism of fire (well mud and rain) in the cup today, Siddal doubled their usual crowd today for it, and made a real game of of it apparently Wolfpack still won in the end. Good start but it'll be interesting to see how many turn up for the Wolfpack's first home game in Canada.

As somewhat of a casual fan of league, could someone who's a bit more of a hardcore fan please explain to me the whole onfield decision malarkey surrounding tries that are sent to the TMO. What is the point of a ref giving an onfield decision of try or no try when the TMO is about to look at it and could immediately over-rule that onfield decision?

In case of doubt, or the video evidene being inconclusive the onfield decision is kept. The video has to, in theory, show without doubt the onfield decision was wrong before reversing it.

There are still really poor decisions made with video ref anyway in both hemispheres.

Leeds defence has been shocking.

Tom Mann Centuria · 02-03-2017 10:50pm

Always liked Luke Gale when he was at London Broncos (Harlequins RL), and Danny Orr who's on the Tigers coaching staff.

Well if this doesn't wake them up!!

60:6 with 7 mins to go

Timberrrrrrrr · 02-03-2017 10:53pm

Soon to be 66 - 6

Beasty · 02-03-2017 10:55pm

"Leeds have been outplayed"

Think I agree with Eddie there:pac:

Anyway - 66:6 has a certain appeal for some of us!

Beasty · 02-03-2017 10:57pm

Well that's ruined "my" score....

That's why the commentators earn the big bucks, fabulous insight.

Fightback is on for Leeds!

Tom Mann Centuria · 02-03-2017 11:25pm

Feel sorry for Brian McDermott, such a genuine bloke, one of the good guys and always supported London in League, even after he left. Looked shell shocked in the interview unsurprising, very honest too.

Tom Mann Centuria · 03-03-2017 9:25pm

Wow, what a try from Wakefield.

Beasty · 03-03-2017 10:49pm

Just switched over from the cricket. Wakefield only need to survive another 3 minutes. Looks like a shock is on.

Tom Mann Centuria · 03-03-2017 10:53pm

Fantastic win, what a turn up for the books that was, thoroughly deserved though.

Tom Mann Centuria · 04-03-2017 9:47am

Anyone with Eir/Premier Sports can watch the Wolfpack's first ever league game, in fact they're showing every Toronto game this season afaik. Playing the London Skolars today.

Tom Mann Centuria · 04-03-2017 4:12pm

Skolars getting battered, don't think Toronto will be in League 1 next season. Either promoted or disbanded, the former hopefully.

Tom Mann Centuria · 05-03-2017 11:46pm

Broncos hammered Bradford today, I was a bit disappointed they were allowed to stay in Championship when they went skint and restarted. The cup game against the Wolfpack should be a good 'un.

Tom Mann Centuria · 09-03-2017 10:51pm

Have Warrington realised the season has started yet? Wigan were excellent but Warrington really haven't got going so far this year.

Tom Mann Centuria · 10-03-2017 9:13pm

Proper Rugby on Sky Sports now.

Hull v Saints.

Tom Mann Centuria · 10-03-2017 10:43pm

8 point try if you don't mind.

Timberrrrrrrr · 12-03-2017 4:07pm

At widnes Castleford game, decent crowd great atmosphere Castleford away fans very noisy

Enjoy the game, I'm watching Whitehaven and Toronto, playing on a mud bath, it's on Eir sports 2. Wolfpack 18 nil up.

Tom Mann Centuria · 16-03-2017 8:22pm

Warrington to get their first points on the board tonight against Leigh I reckon.

Tom Mann Centuria · 16-03-2017 8:44pm

Jebus, who've they given the microphone to before the game on the pitch!

Don't think he's even the best Rod Stewart tribute act in that stadium, let alone Leigh.

Tom Mann Centuria · 16-03-2017 9:22pm

Well my prediction looks as accurate as usual so far, Leigh 10 nil up nearly quarter of way through the game.

Tom Mann Centuria · 16-03-2017 9:49pm

12 2 at half-time.

Tom Mann Centuria · 16-03-2017 10:38pm

Warrington are shocking so far, Kurt Gidley looks like he's never played the game before.

Edit: Leigh lead 20 to 2 with kick to come.

Me backing a team is officially the kiss of death.

Tom Mann Centuria · 17-03-2017 10:15am

Disappointed The London Broncos challenge Cup game With Toronto isn't on tv anywhere, not even a stream (that I can find advertised)

Tom Mann Centuria · 20-03-2017 9:06am

Dragons Saints game was very good, Catalans really should have done better with all their possession, especially the second half, good win for St. Helens though.

Salford beating Castleford was a turn up for the books too, somewhere on the planet Stevo will be wetting himself about the one pointer winning it.

Good point for Huddersfield at Wigan as well, but reading reports it sounds like the Giants were a bit unlucky not to get the win.

Tom Mann Centuria · 23-03-2017 8:08pm

Wakefield playing Leigh tonight. Sky and elsewhere reporting they may well give up their Super League license. Toronto and couple of other clubs rubbing their hands together I'm sure.

Timberrrrrrrr · 24-03-2017 9:36pm

Devil's hammering the vikngs

In other news, water is wet

Long season beckons I think. They'll still have Warrington below them anyway.

Tom Mann Centuria · 30-03-2017 7:14pm

Tonight's game should hopefully be a good, close game, think Saints might just nick it but it'd be good to see Salford carry on their decent start to the season.

Edit: didn't see most of the game, losing Fage probably didn't do Saints any favours but very good win for Salford.

Tom Mann Centuria · 01-04-2017 7:00pm

Warrington got a point on the board. Flying up the league now.

Tom Mann Centuria · 03-04-2017 12:27am

Huge win for Widnes over the weekend, beating Leigh at their place is some achievement. Catalans are going to have another underwhelming season, beaten at home by Wakefield.

Talking of underwhelming, in the Championship London Broncos lost again.

No score for 22 minutes and then tigers get 2 tries within minutes of each other, great game so far

The Tigers are great fun to watch, great game. Castleford worthy winner's in the end. Now they've sown it up with the breakaway.

Tom Mann Centuria · 07-04-2017 10:00pm

Poor old Widnes going bottom, with their loss and Warrington beating Leeds.

Good result for Catalans in Leigh too looks like.

Good comeback from Huddersfield, 14 nil down at St Helens, drew 14 all,and Salford beat Hull away from home.

Tom Mann Centuria · 10-04-2017 11:37am

Saints have sacked Kieran Cunningham, he's been there forever (over 20 years anyway) so must have been quite a tough decision, even with them struggling in 7th this year.

Flick over to Pie Eaters v Saints and St Helens down to twelve, what did I miss?

Tom Mann Centuria · 22-04-2017 8:52am

Big win for Widnes over Saints last night then! Typical I couldn't watch because of work.

Tom Mann Centuria · 23-04-2017 2:59pm

Massive shock in the Cup with Huddersfield getting beaten by Swinton, at home. The Giants are a basket case at the moment.

Tom Mann Centuria · 27-04-2017 10:28pm

And now Huddersfield beat Leeds! All very strange.

Tom Mann Centuria · 29-04-2017 8:41pm

Castleford giving Wigan an absolute shoeing.

Tom Mann Centuria · 13-05-2017 10:52am

Challenge Cup game on the BBC today. Should be a good one too if Tigers play anything like they usually do at home.

Castelford v St. Helens in 6th Round, starts on BBC 1 at 1.45pm.

Tom Mann Centuria · 13-05-2017 3:26pm

Castleford are some team in full flow.
