GAME ON : Leeds Rhinos v Toronto Wolfpack - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Leeds Rhinos 32-14

Do you think it will be that close


Toronto's defence against Saints was absolutely awful.
If Leeds get on the front foot, surely they will put 50 points on them and if they can hold them for the first 20 mins, it could be something close to nil on the other half of the scoreboard.

I know that there was a fair bit of interest in Toronto as the promoted side but, do they need to be on Sky every week ?
Maybe the TV cash covers some air fares or accommodation or something but, their blanket coverage isn't doing anything for the game.

I've said to a Leeds fan I work with that it'll be 50+ but he doesn't seem to think so, be an interesting one.

If Leeds play just as aggressive as they did against Warrington, who knows what the score could be.

At the same time, McDermott will want to prove a point.

It'll balance out once they're up and running over there. Can't see Sky lashing out on filming it with no domestic coverage to piggy back on.

As for a big score, there's plenty of sides that fail to rack one up against supposedly weak opposition on the back of a good win. Still think we'll win but wouldn't be surprised by a scrappy, close-ish game. Say by 14.

Toronto will be fine now they have sorted Chase Stanley’s visa out...

Bigest problem for Leeds tonight will be complacency, hopefully not in love with ourselves after arguably our best performance for two years last week.
It we are composed and put the hard work in first 20 minutes should be a comfortable win.

How was that try given so quickly?

Be 60 this

Maybe not...

What happens when Gigot’s “four week trial” is up?

Does anyone really believe Gigot isn’t getting paid for his ‘trial’. Brown envelopes on the side undoubtedly.

Brilliant refereeing so far.

Little Big Horn this game. Massacre. Toronto have a fine attacking structure but defensively they are all over the place.

The attack is poor too. They are going around in circles at times

This is an over paid poor side- Worse than the Broncos last year by a mile

he should be odds on to get starring role in a panto as a drama queen

I think the Refs know him and Richardson (when at Saints) are straight out of a panto.

Based on his performance he’s clearly not being paid...

I’ve seen some incredibly thick teams in my time, but Toronto are top of the list.

Have you ever seen so many aimless offloads in their own 20 , basically like the forwards can't be d rolling their sleeves up. The goal line defence is harrowing . Utterly deplorable recruitment system and you reap what you sow really. A load of daft mercenaries/ mavericks thrown together and to think some utterly stupid so called journalists tipped them for top 5 (Chris Irvine)

Toronto are a disgrace and Hakim Miloudi is one of the worst players in Super League. Incredibly sh*te.

Miloudi is the worst player in the league and Gadwin Springer 2nd

toronto were always going to finish bottom of the pile. The only question is whether the RFL bottle it and save their bacon.

mcdermott is, and always has been an awful coach
