Toronto Wolfpack look to bounce back after lopsided loss to Toulouse
The Toronto Wolfpack may top the Betfred Championship standings but the transatlantic rugby league team is still smarting from a 46-16 beatdown in Toulouse last week.
The Wolfpack (5-1-0) look to get back on track Sunday when they meet the 11th-place Batley Bulldogs (1-5-0) at KCOM Craven Park in Hull, England.
Assistant coach Simon Finnigan says not much had to be said in the wake of the ugly loss which saw Toulouse, trailing by 10 at the break, reel off 40 unanswered points in the second half.
“The message was pretty easy,” said the former Irish international. “I mean, they’re professional players, they know when they’ve had a game where they’ve not lived up to their standards — or reach the standards that they set themselves as a group.”
