Swinton game

[RobertAM]

check out the TWP twitterfeed..to make the Swinton game even more exciting it seems Cory Paterson will be watching it  with us at 3Brewers

this sunday @ 1000h local time...way to go Wolfpack!

[RobertAM]

looks like Cory p will get a taste of Canadian winter for his Toronto trip..5-10cm of snow heading in. will remind him of the north of England LOL. Should have come Monday-Wednesday when it was balmy temperatures.

What are the odds of this game being called off?  Seems like many in the area are being postponed. 

[RobertAM]

let 'em play in snow..they're a Canadian team!

[Wolfe man]

Has the team been announced yet.

[Krzzystuff]

No not yet.

Official RFL site only has the Sheffield vs London game as postponed so far in the champ, a few SL game shave been moved to Sunday so i'm thinking weather is supposed to get better as the weekend goes on. Swinton just tweeted that there are two days to go until the big game so looks like we're going to have some rugby on Sunday to watch!

Hope so, or the viewing party with Cory Paterson isn't going to be quite the same.

It's sweltering here in East Yorks (100 miles away from Sale where Swinton play). The sun is shining and the thaw has begun.

Not looking good.

[RobertAM]

what's outcome of pitch inspection?

[RIGGY]

The pitch at Heywood Road has been inspected and the signs are good however the Referee has slight concerns over a small area of the pitch but as the temperatures are due to improve overnight they will inspect again early on Sunday morning but things are looking hopeful at the moment.

Please monitor the Lions Twitter and Website in the morning for updates.

Thanks

Thanks Riggy.   Did they set a time for the Sunday inspection? So that I know when to check your Twitter site.

We obviously aren’t as hard (stupid) as Canadians.

We are harder, but also smarter!

18 people, maybe more, have died in the UK due to conditions we are not used to, this past week. You may be smarter?

Unfortunately people die in Canada during cold snaps too. Not sure why you are trying to take the moral high ground on a supposedly light hearted RL forum.

[TMF]

Not trying to take the moral high ground ojx, and people do die in weather conditions, in Canada as well, but as Kman said, they act like it's the end of the world. Well, yeah, for some, it was. Ok, back to being light hearted.

[RobertAM]

Looking forward to meeting Cory P at 3Brewers brunch n game fest tomorrow!

TMF you are not responsible for all the misfortune in the world...this is a burden you are not required to bear...its not your fault.   You cannot control the weather...Maybe more people might have died than18 in England this week if the weather had been raining and flooding had happened....you gotta lighten up Man!

[Bearman]

6-6 after 17 mins. VERY unimpressive.

Wolfpack really need to up their game.

[Bearman]

Thats more like it. Nice kick from Westerman for Brierly.

6-12

[Bearman]

Now we are talking. Lovely inside pass ftom Simms to QLT 6-18
