Wolfpack Super League Baptism of Fire With Heavy Tigers Defeat
The first palindromic date for nine hundred and nine years was marked with the first appearance of the Toronto Wolfpack in the Super League as they played their home fixture at Emerald Headingley as the opener of a double header when they took on the Castleford Tigers.
The full house signs were up at the now fully re-opened stadium for an historic three hours of rugby league as Castleford, Toronto, Hull FC and Leeds fans filed through the turnstiles.
It was a battle of two previous Rhinos coaches at their old stomping ground as Brian McDermotts' Toronto took on Daryl Powells' Tigers. Most eyes, especially those of the neutrals, will have been on the Toronto bench and a certain Sonny Bill Williams but the bookies fancied a Tigers win.
