28-10 Cas FT. Toronto’s recruitment is going to hamstring them, you feel

And that is nobody's fault but their own.

Can see Wolfpack sniffing around Saracens. Heard Wire already are.

Where are Leigh?

[TIWIT]

Lost my radio feed just before half-time. Just as well I suppose <sigh>

It's a long season and McD will work on the (obvious) flaws. They've always been prone to sloppy ball-handling though. They can't get away with that at this level.

Played by an actual one legged man called Richard Burton , because John Cleese couldn't balance on one leg , I got this t shirt for Xmas

Much better 2nd half from TWP, strangely flat from cas though, that happened too often last season too. 

Few erm... Strange calls ftom child's, if they're going to penalise any player whi actually uses his foot to play the ball (one Friday too) then players certainly won't do it, very odd.

Why is everyone from Leigh so sour?

Big step up from League1 and Championship so that score not unexpected. Mistakes and poor tackling in the first half  didn't help Toronto.Big improvement in the second half.When one expects big things there is quite often a let down.

Looking forward to seeing him develop, because you must expect there is even more to come from the young man.

If he had pace he’d be absolutely world class. Still very good mind.

Child pings mccrone for playing the ball properly

I just hate it when the players block the view to the Ref.

[Futtocks]

See you all (apart from the obsessive Toronto-haters) on the Leeds/HFC match thread.

[Kayakman]

Congrats to Cas on a good opening season win....looking forward to next week!

Lots of hype, but virtually the same team as last year. It can't be anything but a difficult season for them. But a long way to go. The home games should help them.

Refs should all wear x-Ray glasses. Or VR goggles connected to a hovering drone camera.

I didn't think TWP were that bad. They started strong and ended up behind through the length of field intercept. I think they looked a bit raw, and they have a team of players who have been playing lower division stuff, so it will take some time. 

Cas are no mugs, they are a good team and they'll beat others more convincingly than that. 

Great announcement about more games, let's hope they can perform. 

[kiwis 13 6]

Well Toronto didnt have the forwards to make yards up the middle combined with bad handling skills, SBW did not have a good game. Miloudi and Liam Kay were TWP most dangerous players and liked London recruit Cunningham work horse solid tradesman like effort. Cas clearly the better team on the day and deserved to win.

[Wildcat]

TWP were poor. No doubt about it. Could be a long season - but as it's only 1 game in plenty of time to turn it around.
