Tomkins knew exactly what he was doing, should have been a red, child's bottled it 

The man hit the back of his head on the floor! Tomlin's then rolled over him in the tackle as happens almost every time to slow the play. Red card or Rovers hatred?

Referee helping the home side out with a mystery penalty award.....

[Pigeon Lofter]

Game on!

[Futtocks]

KR's two scores have come from breakaways while under pressure. The Wolfpack's two scores have come from applying pressure.

Wild speculation abounds!

[Abicus]

Toronto need to watch those passes, so many intercept opportunities 

[Abicus]

Taking the two? Hmmm. 

[Pigeon Lofter]

TWP look both threatening and vulnerable when they play a passing game....the interception risk is always prevalent but without slinging it around they aren't going to break through the KR line. Should be an interesting half!

[stevereed100]

Commentators....that ball hit TWP back,Mulhern was nowhere close. Child's.....killing us.

[Man of Kent]

Toronto hit the front. 16-14 on 49 minutes

Child is Child . Wherever he is which ever country he’ll blow the pea out the whistle 

[Pigeon Lofter]

Gaz belts it between the sticks and TWP are astonishingly in the lead!

he's garbage, he sort of improved for a period a couple of years ago but he's just garbage now, as are most of them. Fatty Ganson has made a complete mockery of the game with the level of performance from the officials, just as he did. At times he was a great ref, other times he was not just awful but so up his own trumpet he would refuse to see the very clear and obvious errors he was making. Having seen him threaten to send off a player for an accidental head clash after the captain complained he really is not the person to take the officials forward and RL is suffering as a consequence. Oh and the RFL, because they employed him and they dictate what laws are and are not actually followed. Either have the rule/law and enforce it or don't because by not applying it or doing so randomly is why the game is in the mess it is.

Think he has been fine. I'd barely noticed him.

I'm afraid you'll have to turn in your "Proper Rugby League Fan" membership card. Saying that the referee has been anything but whistle happy and simultaneously laissez-faire is now a crime punished by expulsion from the Brotherhood of Misery.

Crooks is playing 

[Pigeon Lofter]

Great try there from HKR!

[Man of Kent]

Rervers soak up a ton of pressure and take the lead through a clinical Atkin try.

20-16 KR after 60

[Abicus]

Toronto's attack is super ordinary. One out, one out and trying to crash over.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Support play from Rovers is so much better. Toronto have no idea on attack other than driving down the middle.

[dkw]

Excellent try on the back of a lovely offload, great backing up too. 

[Man of Kent]

Clarkson over in the corner. A killer blow for Toronto, perhaps. 

24-16 KR.

[Abicus]

Game over there probably 

[Just Browny]

I assume the only coaching video Rowley has managed to get hold of around Toronto is 'Clive Woody's Top 100 Bargeovers and Penalty Goals'.

[Man of Kent]

Tickle goals to make it 26-16 KR after 64

[Pigeon Lofter]

Some lethargic defending allowed that try to happen. Poor from Toronto.

[Futtocks]

Ooh, someone whacked hard into the post there!
