GUBRATS Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 It has been on the cards given the last 2 games against Leigh and the Rams , they could easily have lost both of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Might see York or Sheffield Eagles top of the table by tomorrow evening, which I suspect not many would have predicted at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIWIT Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Clearly the game meant more to Toulouse than TWP. Maybe they figured if it's not on TV it doesn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the squad is UK based the travel wouls have been no different to another championship team going to South of France. This is a big loss and a wake up for some of their players. Its been coming as others have said. I would expect them to get better. They do need a better half back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate. The players travelled from North England for this game. Last week they played Dewsbury and the whole bunch of em live In the UK at this point of the season. You won't play a game in Toronto till 27th of April. I do like your enthusiasm at times, but comments like this are just silly and suggest you aren't looking at reality. Anyway, better luck next week. 42-16 is a real pasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayakman Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Look, I'll try to explain this one more time for all the UK fans since I know many of them are well intentioned but don't seem to understand the truth of the situation; can't see the forest because of the trees kind of thing. This is how pro sports work over here in North America. Lets take the Toronto Blue jays for example. They play the first part of their season in Florida (Dunedin). They have an office there, field, the whole set up including living quarters etc. its become part of the community down there; a home away from home if you will. But no one in Florida is actually daft enough to think the team is from Florida; that would be silly. Its the same for the Toronto Wolfpack; they have used the Blue Jays as their model.. They play the first part of their season in England. They have an office there, field, living quarters etc. Its not yet become part of the community over there (we are brand new) but it will; a home away from home if you will. But no one in England should ever think the team is English; that would be silly. That is how pro sports work over here (and very successfully at that). I'll put this misunderstanding down to the insular nature of sport over there. Its understandable that the average fan in the UK has no idea of how sports work in North America. For most, Toronto would be their first exposure to a real professional North American team. I know it might sound crazy that I have to state the obvious but I will again just to clear up any misunderstandings from the confused English fan: "The Toronto Wolfpack is a rugby team from Toronto, Ontario CANADA." This is obvious to even the most casual viewer: it is a truth. I mean honestly, what part of that don't you get? I've included some photos of the Bluejays alternative home base in Florida so you know I'm not making this up, or trying to pull one over on ya. You folks are just going to have to eat crow on this one, I'm sorry. Some of you need to travel around the world a little more. Its a big place and things work differently in other countries sometimes, the world does not revolve around England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damp squib Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The 6000+ crowd is all the more impressive when you consider that Catalans are at home on the same day. Around 15,000 people watched live Superleague and Championship RL in France today. Must be some kind of record. Hope the TOTO derby is a Superleague fixture sooner rather than later.

oiseau Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 That was embarassing. If Toronto are SL then i'm a chinaman. Brian McDermott said it was coming after two poor (winning) performances. He said the players were tired after Dewsbury maybe as tired as TO13 after last weekends slog in the mud at Odsal. Not for the first time the game changed on the half hour with the arrival of Tyla Hepi who upped the pace and physicality of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at my post after TWP played at Leigh, they look as though the have just met for the first time on the car park, and as for McDermott praising the defences of part time teams against his star studded line up, he should have a word with the man in the mirror and ask him who is it that coaches this team, individuals will carry him through to victories not his coaching and strategies, not much different than he has become accustomed to.

DimmestStar Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 When this Toulouse team get on a roll they are very hard to stop. My team Hull KR were winning 0-19 after half an hour in the qualifiers but Toulouse then started playing an expansive game, offloading at every tackle, every pass stuck and we simply couldn't live with them. There simply isn't a team in Super League that plays like they do and when their style is working they can run teams ragged. At home especially they can be a joy to watch and Toronto are the latest to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has happened to you Harry?...why have you become so negative? You used to be a positive go lucky type of guy...now its just anti TWP, and then more of the same. What happened Harry?

Yes it is an impressive crowd , it was reported I think that the RU fans of the club that plays at Blagnac could get free entry , not sure if the same applies to the main Toulouse team But still impressive , and given the result it certainly should help them build a potential SL support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just woke up to see the scoreboard photographed ( I’m in Sydney, AU). I was convinced before the game it would be the other way around. TO had a bad start to the season, and had recently played the weaker sides, so I figured their lacklustre form would result in a loss. Its a weird comp this year, with Sheffield and York in top positions and Widnes battling from their points deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
