Quote: Vancouver Leyther "I'm no coach but here is how I'd pick it for game 1.
1. McNally
2. Brown
3. Worthington
4. Tonga
5. Dawson
6. Ridyard
7. Drinkwater
8. Acton
9. Higham
10. Weston
11. Hock
12. Paterson
13. Hansen

14. Fui (impact from the bench)
15. Tickle
16. Burns (hooker, and cover for halfs)
17. Smith (cover for fullback, and all the back line in general)'"


Not a bad call that. Tonga looked a real handful with the ball in hand and caused damage out wide. He is a big lad and you can see why he has played for Australia. Worthington at this moment is the best centre in the divsion. Great to see McNally back and doing what he does best, scoring tries and he is a potent attacking threat to the opposition.

I would only remove Acton, start with Moi Moi and bring in Hopkins off the bench as fresh legs, a big lad with great mobility.

That would be 3 games and probably 3 losses for us. icon_sad.gif

Toronto have announced Greg Worthington as another of their signings for 2017 earlier tonight.

Edit: And now Andrew Dixon as well

Edit

That's a dodgy Twitter account, nothing to do with the official club account. That's not to say they won't be signing, but the club haven't announced anything

Do you reckon Rowley thinks that announcing them now may disrupt the team. Reckon the club have moved promptly and replaced the 3 announced in the last 3 days with the coincidental signings of a winger a 2nd row and a centre. Nice try Paul

Reckon it is probably someone very very close to the Toronto setup or even from inside it. Maybe someone who is an expert at 'leaking' information.

As I said, Toronto haven't announced either of them, it's a fake Twitter account that's announcing signings. Even Johnny Pownall - who's been named on the same account - has replied saying its a snide site. I'm guessing it's a leyther that's set it up, as there's a tweet on there with the hashtags #morals and #ethics

They've basically gone through the entire squad tonight and are currently trying to get 50 retweets before they announce a 'huge' signing. Currently on 11 retweets icon_lol.gif

Pownall Worthington Dixon sounds about right for the next 3. Pownall has barely played Dixon and Worthington already replaced.

Didn't the Official Toronto account state that it was a fake account too. Not managed (or tried) to shut it down though have they.

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh. :CLAP: [/quote:1xb0p6sn] [quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg



That account is definitely fake but it is clearly somebody with inside knowledge at Toronto.

Seems like a convenient way of leaking news without being officially connected to the club.

They haven't even kicked a rugby ball yet and I am already taking a severe dislike to them.

Some very underhanded stuff going on right from the start when Rowley walked out back in February with a lot of it seeming to target Leigh in particular.

Don't forget the Emmitt debacle either. I think Jukes and Derek have shown up to now that they can and will deal with anything Rowley tries to disrupt the club. From the Brierley leaks to the Sky camera incident to the Emmitt lies.

I would be surprised if we see any of the Toronto brigade in the middle 8s. Of the announced leavers up to now only Armstrong has stated he still has a job to do at Leigh before he moves on. Also thought Dixon had one of his less impressive games for us on Sunday.

I bet they don't tweet on their official site the Championship Coach and Player winner 2016..
