Bongser has now changed in a 'phone-box and will rip all five (?) of the bar stewards' eyes out then pi$h on their brains. SORTED.

Seriously, seem to recall seeing an interview featuring Rowley where he spoke of Toronto's first home game. Paraphrasing, "The crowd drifted in gradually, not knowing quite what to make of it then, after a couple of punch-ups, they were hooked."

Canada loves its Ice Hockey (and the violence thereinvolved). Toronto Wolfpack love their marketing. Did the lout Batleian have a Yorkshire accent or a North American one?

Just a thought.

If someone attacks you no matter where or what you are doing you have a right to defend yourself

A female Toronto fan was punched in the face at the Featherstone match [source an Eye Witness and if true the Batley fans attack on Rowley does nothing to help the game grow. Both clubs should be punished but I doubt they will.

Taken from the Batley totalrl.com forum....

[iThe 'unsavoury incident' was totally blown out of all proportion. Rowley & his minder were sat amongst the Batley supporters in the Kirkwood Hospice stand, and following another inept refereeing display comments were exchanged to the effect that in closely competitive games with the Wolfpack, only one team will get the marginal, and also the not so marginal decisions by the officials. This frustration and winding up came to a head when Rowley, who has history with Batley, was walking back to the players entrance 5 minutes before the end of the game, and was confronted by an angry elderly supporter in a Batley shirt who had followed him out. Handbags were exchanged , with Rowley pulling his earpiece out and squaring up to the elderly supporter, along with his 'minder'. Not exactly the way a head coach of a potential super league team should behave, with all their attendant hype.[/i

So it was the fans fault at the end of the day , you have a right to defend yourself at all times

I assume you mean typical of Batley.

So the poster believes that the incident was blown out of all proportion, justifies his claim and then, seemingly, blows it out of all proportion.

Which one of him is to be believed?

Is that a Handel Sarabande that reaches Bongser's thick ear?

This is cobblers.(source:several eye witnesses)....

If someone pushes you, you retaliate. The fan should be banned for the season, if not a couple, as this is not acceptable in our game.

He was pushed after squaring up to an old man I assume his son pushed him
No mention of the Toronto supporter who punched this lad then
Rowley conduct was very questionable and his minders

The fan is an obvious bad loser . Maybe he should take up knitting

Did you?

I didn't see the Rowley incident either Did You? Thought not-so because neither of us saw both incidents they did not happen-is that what your saying?

This is where it will all fall apart when the pressure is on like we saw in 2015/16 PR has a very poor record of dealing with pressure situations, cmon an elderly bloke pushes you, you walk away and let your 'minder' deal with it. Up to now TW are getting everything from the refs, that will change as we saw in 2015 when the slowing down and niggles get penalised

Absolutley spot on Maurice

No i didn't see the rowley incident so i didn't comment on the rowley incident.
Hearsay is oft subject to misinterpretation and/or misrepresentation.
Your version of events at rovers is only partly accurate from your second post on that matter.
As a rule I don't jump to conclusions until til I've seen verified evidence or the results of investigation..... otherwise they are just opinions...

Yeah ok hahaha

Posted on Twitter at 2-09pm 1st April 2018 while in Toulouse by the people involved in the incident at Featherstone the Friday before.

'would like to say a big special thank you to @TOwolfpack lord and master David Argyle who after hearin about caz's bust up Friday came straight over to us today n gave her a big hug n asked her if she was OK ...in what other sport would you get that.....unbelievable..'

This is the incident my informant saw.

Did you sleep through that play off series ??

We probably won't even make the play offs & you criticise someone who will .

He's criticising someone who couldn't make SL with the biggest budget in Championship. That's a fact, your probably is still speculation. Toronto at present will get smashed all over the park by SL teams at present.

Take back to your leader,and prove us wrong.

We shall see

Please enlighten us, what budget Bradford had in 2015 in comparison to Leigh and explain why they didn't get promoted via the MPG and why ZERO Championship clubs got promoted in 2015? Perhaps it was for exactly the same reason Leigh didn't get promoted. The players collectively WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. From what I witnessed the coach did a superb job in 2015 as I'm sure you recall the fantastic Challenge cup run. His teams massively over achieved and played the smartest rugby I've personally seen since the late 80's, I appreciate that.

I reiterate again, from what DB said, Jukes had a whopping £700k plus extra budget in 2016 hence attaining promotion with SL experienced players. How is it that your intellects don't understand this FACT?

I respect Rowley as a player and as coach because he didn't/doesn't take crap from anyone. And for all you still dwelling on his move to Toronto. If he DIDN'T take the opportunity to travel the world, make more money and shoot for a goal of SL in 2 years -- that would equal crackpot!
