Would not surprise me If Toronto bottle it, just like we did !

I cannot see Widnes being in trouble because they are a better team than their position.

Leeds on the other hand ?...... Mmm, Interesting that one !

Re: Jukes ‘ The Million Pound ‘ mistake : Sat Aug 04, 2018 1:28 am  

Don't think anyone will trouble Leeds / Hull KR, 1 & 2 for me.

Salford, Widnes and Toronto, 3,4 & 5 - it depends on what order ???

Toronto are going to struggle, unless they can play their home games at Skolars

Thing is when teams go to Toronto they'll go on the Thurs were as Toronto will fly back there probably on the Mon so it will give them and extra 4 days to get over the travel and it'll be the same when they come back here theyll fly back on the mon because all they players have house's here

Whatever your opinion of Rowley, he's controlled the Championship in 2018 down to the very last game. I'll be very surprised if Toronto are not in SL in 2019.

I utterly reject the concept of N. American teams in British RL. (and French ones for that matter) That said, Toronto now deserve a crack at SL, having jumped through all the playing hoops they were asked to jump through.

One or two hoops were considerably larger than usual.

(Just watch the Toronto v Warrington game)

And if further proof is still required about Rowley, then I suggest they watch the second half of our 2015 opening middle 8s game v Hull Kingston Rovers. We were 24.6 up.

At least the expansive Rugby League being played in our own half was enjoyable for some on our way to inevitable defeat.

40 yard killer passes to Armstrong and Kay under our own posts, .... landing in touch.

Remember that game well > it was a killer and we were playing to the North Stand 2nd half.

Didn't Lee Smith get the deciding drop goal

Re: Jukes ‘ The Million Pound ‘ mistake : Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:05 pm  

We were playing towards the North Stand, but Lee Smith hit the winning DG,again in front of the North Stand, for Wakefield.

We were 16-6 up at one stage in that game also. It proved to be our third straight middle 8s loss, in part due to Rowleys tactical ineptitude to switch from plan A.

A pattern is developing.
