Can’t wait for the crowd to be listed as 9k and for Toronto to win and for the sound of self combustion from small hamlets in Yorkshire to be heard across the country. 

 

Why would it bother small clubs in Yorkshire? 

I dont know if you have attended any of the games but they have attracted good attendances and been played in a good spirit. 

We will be pleased to play them again  next year or wish them the best if they win.

I expect a very slim win for Toronto in this one and not taking anything for granted. Jarrod Sammut for London has been very impressive when I've watched London. 

I'm hoping Cory Paterson is OKed to play.

Lol. Who’s this “we”? 

Definitely bothers plenty of backward Yorkshire folk. And those from the other side of the hill too. The amount of bile directed towards the club and its fans from so-called supporters from virtually all northern clubs is unprecedented. Fortunately it’s so hypocritical, pedantic and almost always based on BS they just look stupid and most fans can see that. But expect plenty more of this type of idiocy.

On a serious note the attendance will be interesting. No season tickets. Seven days notice. No away supporters

Toronto by 6. We should not take London for granted. If you add up the 3 games the teams have played, the Wolfpack have outscored the Broncos by a single point. If the Broncos win, both teams will be 5-3 in the Qualifiers + MPG, each having beaten 2 Super League teams. London would deserve promotion if they win this game, though we still feel we deserve it more based on our play all season. Sammut in particular is a real threat.

The Wolfpack are battered and have some key injuries, and I don't feel they have played their best during Qualifiers, doing just enough so far to get here.

The attendance will be interesting, on the Sunday before Thanksgiving when many will be spending time with their families. The team has been extraordinarily generous in including this game in season ticket packages this season (unexpectedly), in an effort to pack the Den.

COYWP!

I expect a rather close game.  London can beat the Wolfpack (they have before) so for the Wolfpack to win a few things have to happen.

Firstly, Battye has to be stuffed every time he gets a possession....knocked backwards.  If we can control him the rest of their pack will follow.  If he gets on a roll he can cause alot of problems, especially if he is allowed  to offload.  He needs to be stuffed like the Thanksgiving turkey ever time he touches the ball.

Secondly Sammutt can not be allowed any time to penetrate or  decision make when they are within our 20.   Defence must move forward quickly to deny time and space to him.   Its when he is in the opposition 20 that he is really dangerous.   Must be a marked man when in our 20.  He should feel this pressure and be worried about it constantly like wild turkeys are in the bush right now (bow season for wild turkey has just opened).

Third, we need a solid hard running game from the forwards...nothing fancy...keep moving forward in those tackles so we can get some quick rucks and then out to the backs.  Simple as pumpkin pie.

Lastly, we have to play the full 80.  last time we played London they had us on our heels for quite some time and were basically scoring every 3 minutes.....most damage seemed to come after the 3rd ruck...defence needs to stiffen at this time....keep that defensive line straight (check to the left and right)...then move forward and make those tackles.  Thats how you stuff a turkey during this festive season...get that home made whipped cream on that pie.

And for the Love of God...no more stupid penalties Lussick! (and that goes for the rest of ya too!)

Could be close.   Toronto by 14 if all goes according to the plan..

this is a very tough game and either way i will applaud the winner of it. I do think we will win this but it will be a very narrow win again, 1-4. Our boys are battered  and we still don't know what teh weather will be like. London are very dangerous and  if they went up it would definitely be well deserved and not lucky. Come on Wolfpack!!!! Let's go to SL

Have you any small Yorkshire hamlets in mind? Please don't hold back from naming them: they are probably more resilient than you think.

Toronto is the most exciting development in Rugby League for a good while. It could be of great value for the game if they won. If not, it could be worth finding a place for them as soon as possible, even at the expense of an existing Super League club.

Hopefully Toronto win , then the circus surrounding them becomes a SL problem , who are much better placed to deal with it

The Championship can then look to decide what it wants for the future

Also London just arent up to SL atm

Best for the sport would have been Toulouse , maybe next year before the bridge gets lifted
