Krzzystuff Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Since next season we get to play home and away we will get a chance to see every team at the Den at least once soo.....whats your fancy? My big ones are below: The TO derby (Toronto vs. Toulouse) - expect them to be core top 4 competition Leigh Centurions vs. Leigh Centurions - If Leigh get relegated the prospect of unwanted players and coach giving it to Centurions as the Wolfpack should make for some great bif!! Any expats licking their lips at the Wolfpack giving former adversaries a good ol'Canuck can of whoop ass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 London Broncos were my team back home in the days of Tulsen Tollett, Martin Offiah and the man with the greatest RL name of all, Steele Retchless. So for nostalgic reasons I'm really looking forward to that one. So's my daughter, who was 7 years old when she went to the CC final vs Leeds in 99, and is now a massive TWP fan at 25!

How does it feel to have RL back in your life out of the blue? I imagine you never expected to see a game in Canada. Hope you an you daughter enjoy many years of Saturdays at the Den!

ojx Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Looking forward to the visit of Fev & Fax, especially if they bring some fans. I think Hunslet led the way this year, bringing a small contingent and jumping in to the festivities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to be season ticket holders at the Broncos, so it was a wrench to give that up. I was watching a SL game on SportsnetWorld a while back when I saw some player moves scrolling across the bottom of the screen and seeing 'Toronto' there. That was the first I'd heard of it and I was delighted. Daughter now has her cubicle at work decorated with 8x10 Wolfpack pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertAM Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 not to worry, i could be all wet..has happened before. I'll ask my cousin up in Windermere, he's clued up when it comes to all things beer. Gonna be visiting him in a week or so, he'd better have organized a P**S up!

RayCee Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Surely the most exciting game will be the one that gets them into SL. it could be the million pound game. Or it could be one before that, somewhere in the qualifying 8's. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get promoted at a home game and I can be there. The Den would go nuts if that happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaBull Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It's going to be Halifax for me; there were some cracking derbies between Bradford Northern and Halifax back in the day so I'm looking forward to mixing it again. Batley, Dewsbury and Featherstone to a lesser extent and I like how London are rebuilding under Henderson so that should be good too. Toulouse will be a good trip for both and you never know it could be a fortnight roadtrip for TWP if Catalans come a cropper. The Championship will be great value entertainment next year, just hope we see more matches on Sky or Sportsnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzzystuff Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 It's official we will be hosting Leigh at the Den! Were the players that we signed from them "rejects" or did we poach them? Will there be a lot off bif from Leigh when we meet with any feelings that relegation could have been avoided had these players not signed on with us?

Leigh is definitely the game I am looking forward to the most now. Will they be our biggest challengers next year? Or could it be Toulouse? For Leigh it may depend on how many players they can hold on to. Does anyone know when the fixtures are usually published? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzzystuff Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 From what I've gathered on these forums we will know a week before the first game because the RFL is crud and blah blah blah. We won't be having any home games until May at the earliest because well, it's Canada and the Den is fully exposed to the elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzzystuff Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 i think that Toulouse will be the biggest test for us but London now have some bif with us about Ackers and they did really well this year. Just in general i'm looking for ward to the competitiveness of next year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
