meast Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Surprisingly, not everyone is fawning over Toronto, Maybe a section of Widnes fans included. Although having watched the game, Toronto seemed to get the benefit of some calls, which i don't think endeared themselves to Widnes fans. Or it may be the Widnes fans showing their displeasure of how some clubs are treated etc? Yes it may be unsporting, but not everyone has to like the Wolfpack.

Graham Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 A good case for presentations to be made at the next home game, assuming there is one. Home fans then rewarded and able to celebrate with their team. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeytherRob Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 It just showed what a daft idea it was not to wait and hand it over at a toronto home game. The whole thing just looked awkward and rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Absolutely no class there whatsover. Its not like Widnes were in the running or have had adverse bc of Toronto (they played their reverse fixture at Newcastle). Talk about looking like a tinpot village idiot club. Its like Leeds fans booing Rashford when he was playing for England at Elland road last year. Grow up and have some class will you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 In any other sport and hopefully in RL at all other levels TWP would have been given a guard of honour by the opposition. Crowned league champions with 6? games remaining, its a mark of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they would and in any case it looks ######. Would you expect Leeds fans to boo Saints if they secured the league title at Headingley? We're there to watch sport and there is respect and decorum to how we do that in this country and frankly it was something we'd hope will be swept under the carpet.

If it is the last game of the season then the decision could be to have a presentation ceremony at the winning Club within a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
