McDermott looked like a man that finally understands the momentous challenge ahead of him. His comments were honest though.

Toronto look like they'll struggke to name a 17 man squad let alone a 21 man squad for next week now.

2 poor teams, no way did Wigan deserve to win it 32-10.

You clearly missed the pinnacle of the domestic RU calendar las week then.
Even the pundits, who are used to filling the endless, long stoppages in play with utter guff, were lost for words



Maybe your post explains why you have nothing decent to say about our game, you are clearly a closet Union fan

Watched that and struck by how Kendall kept that game artificially close. Sky constantly gushing again about Toronto.I think Jon Wilkin didn't play tonight?Only mentioned 20 times. Both their tries very dubious. Fair few bum calls against Wigan. Zero sympathy for them pay ridiculous money for a centre and a guy who is just about done whichever code he plays.The money on those 2 would finance a full pack.The longer they stay pointless the better imo Sky and RFL desperate for them to succeed but the whole premise is doomed

Wigan were crap so what does that make Toronto if Toronto win a game this season it will be in Canada not in England

Come on. Artificially close? Following orders? You didn’t watch the game did you?

SOL is in hospital, not good if rumours are to be believed.

HM got binned for foul play preventing a try scoring opportunity, I’m pretty sure the ref just made that up. The ‘tackle’ was an accident, worthy of a penalty as it was high. For me it was a stonewall penalty try as SOL was strolling over.

I clearly know nowt about the game on the pitch, I thought TWP did superbly to go toe to toe with Wigan, I felt that on that performance they would win some games against lesser clubs.

Anyway I do know something about the business end and would suggest most players do not want to play for them full stop, looks to me like this will roughly be their squad for this year and next (there are players who are signed to 2021), the last season of the current TV deal. That should then be that....

TWP aren't in the RFL championships anymore, they have now joined Superleague. SKY don't sell subscriptions in North America they want English clubs.

But Superleague are stuck with TWP so they have to make the best of it and promote them, as do the SKY pundits. This is how business works - you make the best of a bad job if you are stuck with something you can't yet change. The RFL aren't negotiating the next TV contract - Superleague are doing this and their agreement with the RFL to let Toronto play in Superleague ends with the current contract. So TWP will probably be made to stand down then.

Unless the Transatlantic league is still on? heard anything from Ottawa and New york? is Perez still in Bradford?? Steph will know something?

Oh I did. Admittedly with a few beers.

Poor game the ref was even worse.
