| If the Toronto owner holds his nerve and funding, makes a few changes (like getting a seasoned SL coach instead of Rowley) then Toronto will get promoted next year. The next few days will prove whether Toronto really have the interest and perseverence they need as they face their first ever failure. This will either make or break them.
In the mean time, very well done London. Your game management won the game.
And to finish, I couldn't help but put.....
Choke with the pack

| Back to the game. Why on earth didn't Toronto take three drop goals? 2 points behind all game and the drop goal king O' Brian in the team.
Anyway, congrats London.

Now I know you ain't been anywhere near Aus God.
You ain't got a clue about Australia's biggest out of season holiday location.

Watched the match with my sister who was saying the same thing. Once it got to about 50 minutes and it was apparent that a try was looking hard to come by she said they should be slotting DGs on tackle 4 or 5 each set just to be getting something.
It seems to be the modern approach to go for tries only. Teams that are trailing don't seem to take a shot at goal when given a penalty so often either unless doing so would put them level.
In hindsight taking 3 DGs would have won the game for them but, hypothetically, had they kicked 3 DGs rather than going for tries and had then conceded a penalty and lost 6-5 they would then have been criticised for not going for a try on three occasions that could have won the game. Had they been more accustomed to tough games and grinding out wins then they may have opted for DGs rather than trying daft things like the kick on tackle 2.
London were fully deserving of the win though, fantastic defensive effort from them.

Was live overnight here in Aus and I watched a replay earlier this morning. Broadcast finished about 3 mins from the end so missed the finale!
Well done the London Broncos and to Danny Ward being deservedly the Championship Coach of the Year.

| Toronto, or as SKY said last night Torono the second T is silent, just like their performance. Expect them to fold next season after failing to BUY there way into Super League. I think Wigan, St Helens & Warrington chairman will be crying in their beer now that have lost a free trip to Canada next year.

I really didn't see the Broncos winning this one but very well done to them.As regards the Wolfpack some chairman/owners of Super League clubs still see the Wolfpack as a way of tapping into the lucrative North American sports market and not costing them a penny, and i think that vision remains.
