Wakefield didn’t receive any central funding when they were promoted to super league after beating Featherstone in the playoffs. It was only the generous gesture by the other super league clubs at that time, which allowed Trinity to compete. So nothing new re Toronto, although it shows our sport in a poor light.

Only should be jeannie, you don't sound too sure mon ami.

If Fev win what'll that do to Toronto? Will they give up? What about SL's credibility in terms of expansion?

I'd assume the first thing would be to get on to a contract lawyer to see about cancelling a certain big money deal for 2020

The way Fev are playing, only a mug would be so complacent as to think their challenged could be repelled !quite comfortably". Your tipping credentials were sadly destroyed by Toulouse, whom Fev stuffed, from start to finish; and if Toronto come out with the same attitude as you, then they'll get beat.

Fev are hot at the moment, and I'm anticipating a fine game, not a walkover. If it was at Featherstone I would even put money on them.

Whilst my heart would (obviously ) like to see us win, my head says giving them a good game is the best I can expect. I think we can match, and even beat, them both up front and at half-back/hooker, but they've got quite a bit more firepower in the backs. I only hope that all the travelling of the last week doesn't catch up with the players until Sunday morning.
