They told the ref to stop the clock when the scrum wasn't formed

OMG, Really? I feel for you, that must really really hurt. Wish I hadn't read that before going to bed, I'll never sleep!

The ref penalised Toronto off the park in the first half - then they changed tactics, stopped chelping at him and just ground us down the middle.

Great effort, but missing Grix in the attack obviously blunted us in prising open the best last line defence I have seen - I would expect them to get promotion based on a defence like that if they don't run out of players first.

We heard Nobby complaining about travel before the match - who would have thought travel from toronto would be a logistics nightmare....

No they have not. Fans have just been warned to keep their behaviour in check. Every team has idiot fans and the club are just trying to nip it in the bud early on which you can't really blame them for.

Fair enough just read it on a facebook status that a fine as been issued regarding the chants at the ref e.g we know where you live

Effort is there as it has been all season but our skill levels let us down at key times over and over again. We probably won't win a game in these qualifiers but hopefully this year it will be obvious to the coaching staff after the 7 games where the team needs improvement and investment can be made as we are not that far away. We would have got away with todays performance against Toulouse and London at home but we could have played all day and not scored against a good team.

Very much all this,the plaudits for effort/defence all well and good but it masks the fact that with the ball we were simply AWFUL.

I think they were just warning fans that it were possible we could get in trouble. Atmosphere is great but they just need to cut out the daft stuff, its not football.

Didn't hear any untoward chanting but 'super league your having a laugh'is cringeworthy alone when we're losing......

You must be deaf then. What about "You can stick your f*****g money up your a**e"?

As for the chants against the ref, you must be joking. "All we want is a decent referee", etc is soft stuff, is it not?

Wasn't deafening at far end of East where we were 'attacking' second half.
