Oops. Could be right. I can't find a list of the whole draw and I may have mis-read the Facebook message.

Looking at their home ground, it doesn't look suitable. No seating or stands. Unless they can get anywhere local a switch to the shay seems likely.

Fev got a bye. French clubs have pulled out. Bet the RFL still bend over backwards for Toulouse in Super League!

At the meeting at the shay on the 17th the question was asked about Toulouse.
Mr Steele said that in his opinion Toulouse will come back in, but, he was not sure at what level.
The telling point is however, as Mr Steele pointed out, French Television, not sure which channel, are prepared to pay for the privilege of showing Rugby league if they are guaranteed a game every week. That means two teams
Pay for the privilege £1.5 million.
Seems worth welcoming them in to me.
Plus a great four days away.
Better than Northampton, Coventry etc.
Avu vey urn pint o' Tetleys.

I hate going to Hull, nothing about the grounds, the crowds or the bitter cold.
It's that M62 it seems to go on and on and on, I'm sure on a dry day we once ended up in Holland, it seems that far.
But never the less, will be there.
With Clogs on!

If I dare for a minute to go off thread, a few years ago, if you remember, we played a pre season friendly at KP Stadium, we turned up at the club car park, flags on the back windows and were told to remove them as if we didn't we would have no back windows, asked which was the nearest pub and told none near by if you are wearing your colours.
During the game we were sat infront of a few KR supporters and and one time as I jumped up to clap, a bloke behind said "sit down Saddam"
I had just returned from our annual month sabbatical to France.

Happy days
