Do you think it will be that close
Toronto's defence against Saints was absolutely awful.
If Leeds get on the front foot, surely they will put 50 points on them and if they can hold them for the first 20 mins, it could be something close to nil on the other half of the scoreboard.

I know that there was a fair bit of interest in Toronto as the promoted side but, do they need to be on Sky every week ?
Maybe the TV cash covers some air fares or accommodation or something but, their blanket coverage isn't doing anything for the game.

I've said to a Leeds fan I work with that it'll be 50+ but he doesn't seem to think so, be an interesting one.

If Leeds play just as aggressive as they did against Warrington, who knows what the score could be.

At the same time, McDermott will want to prove a point.

It'll balance out once they're up and running over there. Can't see Sky lashing out on filming it with no domestic coverage to piggy back on.

As for a big score, there's plenty of sides that fail to rack one up against supposedly weak opposition on the back of a good win. Still think we'll win but wouldn't be surprised by a scrappy, close-ish game. Say by 14.

Toronto will be fine now they have sorted Chase Stanley’s visa out...

Bigest problem for Leeds tonight will be complacency, hopefully not in love with ourselves after arguably our best performance for two years last week.
It we are composed and put the hard work in first 20 minutes should be a comfortable win.

How was that try given so quickly?
