So who is your 17 for this game. Not sure about Toronto this season. Battered by Toulouse and had a few close games especially against York, Leigh, Dewsbury and Featherstone. Yet had a few big scores too. On their day I reckon they could put 50 on us especially how soft our defense has been recently.

However if we are on form then we could cause them a few problems. For me:

Pickersgill
Foggin-Johnston
Gibson
Oakes
Ryan
Lilley
Milnes
Crossley
Wildie
Kirk
Garside
Farrell
Minchella

Doyle
Bustin
Green/Wood
Peltier

EDIT: To clarify I’d leave Webster out due to 4G pitch. Storton as I believe he’s getting through a ton of work for a young lad. Pickersgill in as it’s a game where I think we can just play with no pressure. Big pack to combat Torontos as best we can. Doyle because he’s earned it. Could be a place for Hallas just unsure as to where.

On form id go..
Ryan
DFJ
Minchella ( Webster to miss out due to pitch)
Oakes
Grant
Lilley
Milnes
Crossley
Wildie
Kirk
Storton
Farrell
Wood

Green
Doyle
Roche
Hallas

I'd guard against using the "12 man on the pitch" tactic.

Don't think we've anything to fear of Toronto. Being the underdogs for a change will probably be a good thing and I'm sure Kear will relish it. Webster won't play due to the 4g pitch.

Oops!
Plus Storton ha!

I forgot about Roche to be fair.

It's a free hit for us this week

We aren't expected to win, probably not even expected to get close. So we might as well go over there, enjoy the experience, play with a bit of freedom and see what happens.

If we get mullered, so be it. This game won't define our season.

Somebody explain leaving Webster out because of the pitch?

Webster hasn't played at Widnes or Sheffield this year due to the fake grass pitches used. Reckon it's an injury risk for him.

I get ya

Anyone making the trip ?

Doyle wasn't in the early plans for this game so I have to ask , how long does a visa take to come through? That's assuming a visa is necessary, of course, but a week seems a bit quick for any government department.

Canada make you get a bit of a visa (electronic travel authorisation) to land into any of their airports. You can apply online and the results usually come back within a few minutes. Not sure if they would need anything other than that.

Yeah the ETA is an easy process but not sure if the players would need a working visa rather than just the tourist ETA. I assume that its not just the ETA going by reports from other clubs problems over the last few years.

I can't remember the details, but something was done about that in the last year or so. I remember people commending the Canadian authorities on how they've made it so much smoother for visiting players. There were certainly issues in the early days, but I don't think there was nearly as much issue last season.

That said, I'd be surprised if Scott Moore wasn't "injured" the week Rochdale are due to play there.

Safe travells to anyone flighing out.
Im on a fligh tomorrow from manchester. I look forward to bumping in to some you and sharing a couple.of pints.

Flying out Friday morning.Looking forward to it but think Saturday could be a tough day at the office.

Sounds like you could be on the Royal Flight. That is the one the players are on

We'll lose this one but so will most other teams so it doesn't really matter that much in the long run.
Hoping for no injuries and not too much of a pasting!

Yeah just checked in same time as them

Does anyone know if the match is live on sky?

That's what I've been wondering because according to this: https://www.rugby-league.com/championsh ... 1/fixtures it is but according to other sources, it isn't. HeyHo!

Sky mix apparently (which I believe you can watch even if you have sky TV but not sports subscription)

Yep, it's live on Sky Sports Mix.
