Castleford V Toronto Preseason

[TboneFromTO]

Im following it on twitter ( couldnt find a broadcast at all even audio!)  

Cas 0 - Toronto 6 after 4 min.

[snapski]

6-6 Richardson try and goal

[Terry2u]

Yeah   totally dismayed that none of the sports sites have live scores for the match.   If this were hockey, baseball, football   literally any north american based team sport  they would have live scores even for preseason matches

the cas twitter feed is pretty good with the updates.  they seem to post atleast every min!  

[TboneFromTO]

Half-time its all tied up at 6-6!

 

not watching and obviously very biased but it seems from the cas twitter feed that toronto have the edge today!

[Terry2u]

They will get better at this stuff.  Leafs fans and sportscasters have live game blogs that update on anything interesting. Wolfpack will get there eventually by copying the big 3 in toronto  Leafs Jay's Raptors

Cas come out swinging

Feki try Cas 10 - TWP 6

[TboneFromTO]

Mellor bounces back for the pack!

 

10-10!

 

Blake Wallace makes the kick now 10-12!

[Terry2u]

Sweet

Bring it on!

Laying down the marker early is what I love.  Still haven't seen the debut of SBW either!

Maybe he has to rush for his flight later.

Good win for Toronto that against a strong Cas side that looked close to full strength.

[corvusxiii]

Saw sbw as we left. Large fellow! Twp will go alright on todays performance. 

[Chris22]

Impressive win for Toronto today. A slight boost for them ahead of the season opener against Cas at Headingley.

I've put this and the rest of today's results on my blog, since it's never easy to find the friendly results!

TBF i think we were 3 forwards short of full strengh (we only had 3 players with squad numbers 1-17 missing, and imo only 3 of the named players would make a full strengh 17).

By my reckoning Toronto had SBW, Wilkin, Stanley, Lussick all missing.

So not disproportionate.

Pre-season friendlies are of limited value form wise, but plenty of work to do at Cas before the rematch.
