Bulls 0-34 Wolfpack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0i-_kvL1gY
Ex-Leigh players ('twixt the two matchday squads) 12
Points scored by the above: 22
Toronto errors: 20
Toronto penalties conceded: 14
Kerfuffle: 1 (minor)
Liam eager for the ball (and two tries).
AJ won't need to trouble his mam with his kit!!
Poor surface and conditions, game BB pack out-muscled but not as much as you might expect. Wolfpack's only pre-season outing.
For those both lucky and hardy enough to have seen Leigh Mk '18, please watch the above and voice thoughts accordingly in advance of Feb 4.

Left Widnes to go back home didn't he
Although Toronto won't be short of money to offer with the three released
By the same token, you would have thought he'd have picked something up in Aus by now

No Itās not and o could see that with the bad picture. He referred to the Wolfpack as Warrington. Need to do his homework that lad.
Got the player with the ball or in the tackle wrong most times.

Thought provoking post on the Broncos board. Should anyone wish to view the context, it is on Page 3 of a thread entitled "Toronto Woes".
Quote ="MonkeyLover"Or, and this is purely speculation and not stuff coming from within the RFL to people I have good relationships with -
* Perez has gone, has been gone a while now and the marketing machine is now being run by 'Honest' Martin Vickers, that guy who left Salford and Swinton in such good order. If he was still there do you really think they would have not had merchandise on sale since November? Replica shirts released in March, 4 weeks into the season at least? The guy went mental last year because they were only ready for Christmas day and not two weeks before. The current people are not driven by trying to save Argyle's money, they are just on the gravy train and turning their attention to the easier stuff.
* They have always intended to play as many games in the UK after realising last year that life outside of SL is very expensive and with no real sponsors it is even harder. Whilst players are in the UK they are housing and feeding themselves and costing the club less. I did say on several platforms when Ackers went that the homesick thing would become clear.
* They are asking the RFL already for 2019's money and contrary to popular opinion they are in fact getting money from the RFL now.
*They have failed to submit last years Cap yet.
* They are fully aware now, as are others in the game, that if they got to the point were the SL Chairman need to decide if they should let them in the answer will be no. For some reason most of them dislike the Wankpack and would rather have Leigh, London or Featherstone in, clubs run by like minded people to themselves. Because they have realised there is no chance of them getting in they have come up with a solution of getting all cosy with Mr Koukash and his Bradford club which will be a great way for them to get out of this embarrassing mess they are in which is getting worse by the month.
Now this could be a load of pony but why would a global sporting super power like them not be able to convince a club in the same City to allow them to play some games on their pitch if they really wanted to? As you have said, they could have taken it on the road. They are minted, they have more money that the Queen, why didn't they go to Miami, New York, Jamaica, China? Even if they thought it was better to play in England are they honestly expecting us to believe Skolars was the best option in London? Supposedly chosen because the Canadian Embassy is sponsoring the game and there will be Mounties on horse back. Argyle could have rented any ground he wanted in London for a game that could have sent shockwaves through the sport. Nah, 'lets go to Skolars, it is ideally located for all of the Ex Pat Canadians who we want to entice into the sport'.
How come if they are so rich they owe so many people money? The list is growing daily. Mind you, that was something 'Honest Mart' was really good at when he was at Salford and Swinton. As their poor fans will testify.
To be fair there are some really good journalists with far more questions than this, it will be an interesting few months.'"
Thanks for permission to repost, ML.

Evenin' Roy.
Regarding the o/p, surely the three (or more) games against the ersatz Canadians will impact upon Leigh A Team this season should
a) the Middle 8s still happen
b) the above still have any bearing on promotion to SL for 2019.
Touching on point B, in the light of rumours that refuse to subside (despite the main cause of subsidence in the M62 belt leaving the RFL) of a root and branch restructure for next year, is not ML's post (as quoted ibidem) at least a topic for debate?
Thoughts anyone?
Hope Charlie's right regarding the 4th, btw, and we put some clear C&W water 'twixt us and the former wearers of the proud shirt, though it is another (possibly the worst) game that Bongser will miss as, during the second half, he will be scrumaging a heavy weight up a steep slope in a place that calls itself Bowdon - a town that is like the (modernish) proverbial Tim.

| I assumed that if you was involved in one club running in any RL division, that you couldn't get involved with another one. Or is this another rule that if your Toronto, then you have a free reign

The others would have to be in a RL division to start with. But he's very clear in that the new ventures have their own owners.

The only people who could have taken anything from that game would have to be staunch supporters or the relevant coaching staffs.
To me the most strikingly obvious thing to come out of the game was how unfit Toronto appeared to be, they were Ok for the first 20 of each half but tired rapidly even though they were continually rotating the players on the pitch, had Bradford had anyone capable of leading them around the field they may have scored a few themselves, especially the last 20 of the first half.
If Leigh pace the game and especially having a young fit squad they should give Toronto the run around as the game on Sunday progresses, If Juksey gets his bench right and brings in the hard runners after the softening down period, and I include Acton on the bench we can and hopefully will put the game to bed before half time.

In fairness the surface will be much better at LSV for the season opener. Gregg would've been glad for the half-time hooter after that slip (saved by the hooter) There can however be no guessing what the weather will be like. If PR sends the T'ronno Packers out to play his traditional style of expansive RL in the wind and the rain then, "Hey ho", Leigh'll send 'em packing back to, eerrrmm, Manchester with a performance (albeit from an almost entirely new team) like the one against Salford at the tail end of last season.
For the record, Gene, for whom would you be "Singin' in the Rain"? Kelly's Eye, peut-etre? Just askin'.
Get well soon, Leythersteve.
