TMF Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Nige, top players rested, no injuries at the end. For Toronto this is exactly what they wanted. The result is irrelevant to them. Do you not get that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimmestStar Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well done Featherstone! To start the game with just 3 players on the bench and win comfortably is a very good effort. They must be cursing their loss last week but this keeps faint hopes alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah lol Yes, Toronto was sitting out almost a third of their starting lineup today in Wallace, O’Brien, Stanley and Paterson. You’d have to go all the way back to week 9 to find a game that one of those players didn’t score a try and they’ve contributed 2+ tries in all the following games through week 22 except one (week 12, which was a game where only Wallace was playing of the four). Toronto sat out a ton of offence for today’s match. Featherstone absolutely played a stellar game, but let’s not pretend that Toronto was fielding their best team today.

DimmestStar Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Wow Toronto had 4 players missing. That's the worst injury crisis since Hull FC had the worst crisis in the history of the injury crises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raz Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 They’re not injured, they were intentionally rested. That’s my entire point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weakened full time outfit should be beating a weakened part time team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they intentionally sitting people out or are you talking about injuries? That’s a different situation than what I’m talking about regarding Toronto’s line-up today. Anyway, I feel like my entire second paragraph commending Fev’s effort is being overlooked in my post, so I’ll just leave it as this: I guess we’ll see what happens in any potential middle 8 game between Toronto and Featherstone. No excuses to be had for either team after that one since they’ll both be playing the best teams available to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fev are part time, injury hit to our best 3 players have to travel a fair distance and are playing the best SQUAD in the championship, take nothing away from Fev, you can say what you want, FIRST team to win in Toronto!

ojx Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just got back from the game. Great atmosphere, the Fev fans were amazing. Their defence was outstanding all game, considering their recent disappointments, it takes real spirit to come out here and put in a team performance like that. As for the Wolfpack, I have to concur with one of the chants "Super League! You're Haven' a Laugh". They are going to have to seriously up their game. At least the crowd seemed to be having as good a time as if we were winning by 60 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit of that stuff and you won’t notice what happens. Seriously, London have to have 44 clear points. any predictions on the scorelune. It’s gonna be hell at Barrow tomorrow .
