Very disappointing result, hadn't expected a walkover but thought we could/ should have progressed to the next round.
Rochdale now becomes a very important game- win it and we're back on course, lose and I'm worried heads will drop and we'll be struggling to keep up with teams finding their form in the league.

Disappointing night! you have to respect Toronto, they are in it to win and be in the Championship next season, agree next week is so vital now.

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Sat Mar 18, 2017 10:53 am  

I think vital is a bit strong. I do think we need to get the win though to get us back in the right frame if mind, a loss next week is not catastrophic but woukd dent our top 2 plans.
I do think as the weather improves we will improve but we should be better than that

Wantawin, well the counter argument to that is what is being mooted by the RFL. Wasps RU moved 80 odd miles, there gates have gone up.
Constant moving is never going to help though, although reality is apart from charlton we have moved at most 10 miles

Wasps moved to an area where there is only one premiership rugby club and have less competition from over sports even the Coventry Football Club have moved out of Coventry.
I think you need to look at route planner again the distance from the Stoop to Barnet is just under 14 miles and takes just on an hour with light traffic or a lot longer when the traffic is heavy.

Can anyone explain the most bizarre of bizarre decisions when the ref overturned his ruling for a 20m tap (the ball went dead from a Toronto kick) for a goal line dropout leading to Toronto's 3rd try? I'd love to see the replay of that one!

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Sat Mar 18, 2017 4:28 pm  

just one of many things he got wrong

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Sat Mar 18, 2017 9:28 pm  

Why did Sammut go for the conversion at the end. He should shave declined the kick

Lots of idiots calling the ref when it was our mistake.

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Sat Mar 18, 2017 9:29 pm  

Good news is the Toulouse league game is on as both teams lost

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Sun Mar 19, 2017 10:34 am  

20mtr re start and goal line drop out the ref saw it touch his knee before the ball went dead.

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Sun Mar 19, 2017 6:31 pm  

Touchy did not see it, he made off for 20m restart. We did not see it and we were in the Budgie stand .
Elliot is not the sort of player to make a mistake like that. If he had touched it I believe he would have played it. He had time.
