I think the referee was poor not because he took a tough line on Toronto but because he failed to do the same with Warrington. He gave loads of warnings to both sides about dirty tactics but only one of them got hammered with cards. If ref's gonna be tough, fine, but stick to it for both sides. It became a bit of a vicious circle, he wasn't consistent when it came to following up, that got the Toronto players upset because the refereeing wasn't on the level, and they failed to hold their discipline which made it worse. I blame Toronto players for that. But I also blame the referee for his lack of discipline following up with both sides. If he'd played it straight we'd probably have had a less one sided game. Now fair credit to Warrington, they had the smarts to manage the referee and that probably lead to some of the inconsistency, but that does not do the referee any credit.

This is part of the reason RL lacks credibility, there's no consistency.

Top billing match???????? At 12.45 pm while the SL fans are still in the pubs.

Strictly JP is partially correct, as they are the first match. It was his suggestion that the RFL were complicit with Toronto in not taking further disciplinary action against their players to keep the game "interesting", along with the infantile "terrific" et al that he seems to need to attach to clubs' names that is so ridiculous.

The Swindling Swinton one is a cracker, how can a team be swindling when they are not doing as well as hoped. As infantile as it is, it is a very slanderous statement that could get the fake Frenchie in alot of bother.

Quick, lets chuck all the "expansion" clubs out of all the leagues because our faux Frenchman has been daft



Leigh fans in yet another desperate attempt to have a moan shocker
