Think I saw this giant on the horizon but he only turned out to be a big rock. Were the natives getting restless?

I was thinking of the WP fans getting restless about the qualifiers coming up. Two years of getting to this point and seven very important games. Exciting stuff, but maybe a little apprehension? The little critters you encountered don’t sound too nice at all. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course.

Rochdale today...one game at a time. Feeling on the ground here is one of patience and the long home stand has become a test of that. Press coverage is slow but will pick up after today before the game next week and the playoffs. People are excited, but Hey if it doesn't work out this year it will next, or the year after. We will get there...it is our destiny! We are in it to win it. Ahh.... those little critters are pesky (like some posters always at me on the forum) but nothing a slap or dose of Muskol won't take care of. Everything works out in the end.....one way or another. Heading down to the game now, hoping for a close one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu266 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 2pts to go! I think it's fair to say that Toulouse and Halifax are save now. Can Barrow upset London next week? The only hope left for Leigh (or Fev if they can beat Toronto, or if Toronto lose on purpose, a very English thing to do...) All over here. It's gonna be: Leeds - TWP TWP - Hull KR Salford - TWP TWP - Widnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ojx Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Barring any major upsets: Away to: Halifax Leeds Salford Home to: Toulouse London Hull KR Widnes To give teams more time for teams to process visas, I would image starting off with an away game and then London coming to the Den first (as they already have their visas).

NickWeaver Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Did anyone watch the Rochdale match on TV? My dad did and said that the commentators mentioned that all the 8's home games would be 1:30 KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be almost impossible for me to arrive that early coming from Montreal by coach... But that's just selfish me. Maybe a request from Sky and/or Sportsnet?

I can see them running the 1:30 games to co ordinate with Sky (or some other higher authority). 10 minutes ago, NickWeaver said: Did anyone watch the Rochdale match on TV?

Copa Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Toronto really needs to focus on discipline when playing against SL teams full of pro players. A rush of blood to the head is enough to change the result in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really good to have the brain fart earlier in the season vs. Warrington. We are ready, the fans are eager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thoughts would be that TWP will lose to Leeds and Headingley, Hull KR at Lamport will be close and Salford away could be tricky. The rest I would make Wolfpack the favorites although some are pretty tough to call. Overall I reckon anywhere between 2nd and 4th in the middle 8's. I'm going make a prediction of. 1. Leeds 2. Hull KR 3. Toronto 4. Salford 5. Toulouse 6. London 7. Widnes 8. Halifax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you've been playing teams by and large that are beaten before they run out. Over here it'll be for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what travelling will be involved yet. It might be the first game or TWP might have just had a game in England while Halifax are on their way back from France.

They hammered Hornets on Saturday in Canada yet in the fixture at Rochdale they were very, very lucky to win. We'll see anyway. I still say I'd be surprised if they win any of the away games. Unless they are given special dispensation to play those in a block as well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
