Sent off at the weekend and by all accounts it was malicious, so he should get 3 games minimum......he'll definitely miss Leeds.
As for Toronto's hospitality.......I'd rather we steered clear of them totally and focus on our own needs should we get to the MPG and it be in Toronto.
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
Funniest moment of the match was right at end when the Ref gave forward pass with Tolouse on our line after Big Cliffy did his normal "Forward Pass ref, your a load of Khazi" shout.
He did not win the raffle though .... But that made a few people chuckle...
Seriously however, nice for once to be at the end of a meaningful game, and not having to worry about the score of the final five mins.
Hastings and Burgess are both due a visit to the disciplinary panel for bad tackles. Hastings was sent off for a particularly nasty tackle at the end of the game.

4th place always host 5th.....

Defence was tremendous today stopped TO from playing. We also made easy meters from the ruck. Very good performance. TO were very flat.
HKR next who have been very up and down this middle 8's.
Saw Harrison pull up, he knew immediately his game was done. Worrying that we might be without Dixon , Harrison seeing as Api is out already.
Agree about the defensive performance - they really nullified any Toulouse threat. Will need more of the same next week.
Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number-- Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you-- Ye are many -- they are few.'
Harrison needs to have a scan on his knee to see how bad his injury is. Kieran came off the pitch after the game with his arm in a sling, he left the ground without it so it may not be quite as bad as first thought.
Hastings tackle was nasty and the commentators on sky said that may be his last game of the season .He went in with a swinging arm and then stuck the knee in as well with only about 50 seconds on the clock as well.
