TORONTO — Wolfpack coach Paul Rowley, leaning on an exercise bike inside Lamport Stadium, was seen scowling at a screen Saturday in the wake of Toronto’s 46-28 win over the Leigh Centurions.

Given Rowley has not spoken to the media in a week, it’s hard to know what had brought out Mr. Grumpy. But chances are it had something to do with a tepid second-half performance that saw his team outscored 28-22.

League-leading Toronto (17-1-1) still extended its rugby league win streak to 15 straight matches in the second-tier Betfred Championship. But it was an incomplete performance.

The Wolfpack seemed in control in the first half, running up a 24-0 lead in steamy conditions before an announced crowd of 6,884. After Leigh (12-7-0) scored a try early in the second half, Toronto replied with three straight tries.

It looked liked normal service had resumed. But Leigh, taking advantage of some ragged defence, reeled off four straight tries to cut the lead to 40-28 before Toronto closed but the scoring with one final try.
