The depleted TOwolfpack suffered their third straight Super League loss, beaten 32-10 by the WiganWarriorsRL on Thursday.

For the third consecutive week, the transatlantic rugby league team scored first but found itself trailing at halftime. Wigan bent but did not break in the face of Toronto pressure and then turned the screw as the contest wore on.

“We ended up ultimately losing the game, which just came down to one or two moments there,” he added. It’s been a tough start with the Wolfpack facing teams that finished second, third and fifth last season in the top tier. Veteran forward Jon Wilkin was a late scratch, with James Cunningham promoted off the bench to replace him. Gary Wheeler, the only Toronto player available, moved onto the Toronto interchange bench at DW Stadium.

Hemmed in its own end to start the game, Toronto began to find its legs and threaten the Wigan goal-line. After a repeat set of six near the goal-line following a Wigan penalty for a high tackle, Russell gathered in a McCrone kick to the corner and wormed his way over for a try. It made no difference as Thompson scored two plays later, taking a pass from O’Brien who opened up the defence with a dummy pass. Wallace’s conversion tied it at 10-10.
