    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.

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

    "Leeds have been outplayed"

    Think I agree with Eddie there:pac:

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

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

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


    Fightback is on for Leeds!

    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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Wow, what a try from Wakefield.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Administrators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 77,497 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Beasty


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

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

    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.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


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

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    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.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


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

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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


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

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    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.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


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

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    12 2 at half-time.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    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.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


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

    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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    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.

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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    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.

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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    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.

    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.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    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.

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

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

    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.

    Castleford are some team in full flow.
