Salford stands third in the elite Super League, two divisions and 22 places above the fledgling Wolfpack, rugby league’s first transatlantic team.

Toronto (5-0-0) has been running roughshod in the Kingstone Press League 1, the third tier of English rugby league. Finnigan said while there was an edge in training earlier in the week, the Wolfpack mood has been businesslike.
