When we qualified I said that we could pick up wins against Toulouse, London and Widnes. I thought we would go close against Toronto and Salford.

Nothing has changed my view. If we'd attacked better last week we could have possibly won but certainly got a lot closer.

I rate RM highly as a coach but he will really have to focus on attack this week. The defence is sound. We need to start putting points on teams and making our attacks count.

We missed Grix massively last week -especially as the distribution link on the middle of the park.Muzza and Johno looked to have way less time and options as well with Toronto's line speed.Not sure Tolouse will offer that same threat and Grix definitely coming back will also help.
Could be all over in first 15 mins if they get on top as they are a real threat on attack for sure.
Dig in and take your chances and you never know.
Good luck and safe journey to all attending.

Changes to the Toulouse squad:

"Two changes in the group of TO XIII made by Sylvain HOULES and his staff: Eddy PETTYBOURNE injured his foot against Leeds last weekend, leaves his place to Arthur ROMANO who thus postulates his first match under the colors of the Olympian club, while that Sébastien PLANAS replaces Tony MAUREL."

Oooo la la!

Six points in two games perhaps indicates where the problem is.

Best part time team looks like an epitaph not a valedictory.

Well that is a very disappointing result and, I presume, performance. But..It beats playing against Batley and Rochdale all ends up. Let's just hope we can at least avoid bottom spot and gain a win or two. Also use the extra revenue gained to improve the team where it is glaringly obvious needed. Up The Fax!

Pathetic effort. 6 points scored in 2 games v championship sides. You should have let Leigh Centurions be in the qualifiers instead. Even with the 6 star players they have lost, they would have done better than you lot.

Your picture sums you up well. Loud mouthed and a bit dim.

Think it was always unlikely we were going to get a result in Toulouse, and am Not sure how we will fair in the next 5 games. Think Widnes could be our best shot of a result.

These middle 8s highlight some of our shortcomings in the team, but that was always going to happen at this stage. Amazing how quickly knives come out for some of the players already, think some lose sight of our position compared to the others.

Get season tickets on sale now whole the mood is still upbeat.... oh hang on don't know what the structure will be yet!
