The pass for Feki’s try also went behind him but he managed to take a good second grab.
So either Loot’s passing game is **** or Feki doesn’t know where to position himself (ie not deep enough).
It seems to happen a lot between those 2.

Val’s pass to Dugan was also a bit to “at him” rather than in front for Dugan to run onto.
Heat of the moment I know but it’s costing us points so hopefully Flanno works on that with them this week.

The Dugan pass was a hospital ball anyway, he got smashed by the winger if he caught it.

Agree with that.

I don't think Feki and Leutele work well together despite playing for many seasons together. They just don't compliment each other very well.

I mean the blokes inside them. Feki did nothing wrong there. Moylan and Sorensen were as much to blame as Leutele.

In a game where there wasn't typically alot of room on the edges (or was quickly closed down by the pennies on the left in particular) he played tough. Not gunna bag that effort

Still down the bottom of my pecking order for backs, didn't do anything wrong but Dugan should replace him if fit

What a shame for Rugby League in general - in the short term anyway. We can't even get a team going in Perth but these guys are getting 6,000+ where most people haven't even heard of the sport and 9,000+ on the same weekend hockey season starts. It would have been great for the game if Toronto could have made it to the ESL. Hopefully they can get there in 2020.

Yeah agreed mate. Having a pro team in a new continent would be massive.

The world is only getting more and more globalised and there will be a place for niche sports in it (IMO).

Meh don't see how it would be that good for RL to be honest. It's never going to be more than a niche sport which is fine with me.

Taking the "NRL" out of the equation, IMO having a top tier team playing there would be great for the game and for players who can't get NRL opportunities. For every guy who becomes a a regular NRLer there are dozens who were "almost" good enough. Having a non-England location for players to live and play would be awesome. Toronto may be cold as f*** in winter but it's a beautiful city in the summer. Plenty to do for families and young single blokes alike. Not everything is about the NRL or growing the international game. More professional Rugby League players in more places is a good thing.

Yes mate, but HB's an old fuddy duddy with old school ways who wouldn't know progress if he fell over it. :p

Still don't see any real benefit in the broader scheme of things. Much like the Storm, adds absolutely nothing to the game and never will.
