To fast for Toronto first half.
Become sloppy and gone from the game plan.
Milner, Eden and McShane having cracking games.

Could have easily have been a lot more on the scoreboard for us. Defensively pretty good minus a few lapses.
Good run-out overall and looking positive. Not to mention we have some more players to come back.

Thought Matautia and Olpherts looked good,liked Hepi and thought Blair went well in second row,Richardson,Trueman and McShane ran the game and Eden did really well in both attack and defence. Forwards were great,Millo,Smith,Milner and Massey were well on top.

There will be tougher tests and we had 15 minutes off in second half but overall good win and showed up well.

McDermott as just said cas switched off last 15/20 mins. We need to stop that.

Think Toronto lot worse then London last year saints would have got sixty better bench mark next week. Saying that would have taken any win before kick off Richardson needs to improve like

Slow first 20 then got the game won with a good 20 minute burst. Both teams bang average 2nd half I think we dropped to there level.

Overall happy to get the win and move on to Wigan. Trueman,Eden,millington all very good

You also don't want to show the entire league everything you have, when the game is won you don't need to keep showing off the set plays.

Job done.
Some promising performances: Matautia, Smith, Trueman. Hepi has great heart but just lacks a bit of size.
Shocked Millo did those kinds of minutes.
2nd half was poor.
Toronto are very weak. Much worse than London last year.
Eden still our most dangerous player?
Wigan will be a very tough ask but I'd like to think we can keep in the game and take it to them. Will have to be way more clinical.
On to next week.

Sorry for the random question, but I didn't want to make a whole thread for this one, but who is out-of-contract this year out of our first team?

Lost Griffin early on and will not be back for Wigan.
Good in parts we do look small.
Wolfpack again got far too many off loads away.
Carried us in to touch quite easily.
Plenty of good performances.
Lovely to see a long distance try well done Greg.
Smith ran it in well.
Trueman had a new lease without so much responsibility.
Wish we had used the latter part of the second half to practice some new moves.
Sonny Boy Williams more like Kenneth Williams.
Carry On Wolfpack
Come on you Fords.
I'll take the win.
Hopefully the first of many.
Rhinos getting beaten in their lovely new ground.
