Degree of difficulty escalates for Toronto Wolfpack against Super League champions

Toronto Wolfpack coach Brian McDermott, seen during a team practice at Lamport Stadium on May 1, 2019, is hopeful even as Wolfpack have lost to Castleford, Salford, Wigan and Warrington.The Super League challenge turns up a notch for the winless Toronto Wolfpack on Saturday when the transatlantic rugby league team takes on defending champion St. Helens.

“A really encouraging performance with the ball. Pretty strong defensively other than some isolated individual errors – some missed tackles. While it’s really frustrating to watch those, it’s actually encouraging that it wasn’t systematic breakdowns or Warrington being really, really good. We just had some blunders and missed tackles in defence, which ultimately cost us the game.”

“There were large parts of the game against Warrington where they could not handle us,” said McDermott. “They couldn’t defend what we were trying to do with the ball.“We saw some of that against Wigan and a better version of that against Warrington ... We’re confident about what we can do. The last three teams we’ve played now, we’ve pushed them to the brink and had a really good chance of winning each game.

“It was a long time. I committed a large part of my life to that club so it’s always be special to me,” said Wilkin. “But people kept asking me ‘Would it be strange to play against Saints?’ I just don’t think it is ... It’s more strange playing guys you don’t know at all. I spent a lot of years competing and training every day with these guys.Wilkin needs surgery to clear out his knee but is putting the operation off for a couple of weeks. He says if his knee permits, he will play Saturday.
