You seriously think that Featherstone will be in the top four? They have won at home against a weakened Toulouse side. But they won't do so well against Toronto and London at home, let alone in their away games against those two and Toulouse.

It is early season yet, but with the the return of play maker five eighth Jonathan Ford and the introduction of newly signed props Sam Rapira and Eddy Pettybourne Toulouse will be much stronger.

I predict Toronto, Leigh, Toulouse and London to be the top four, with Featherstone narrowly missing out at fifth and Halifax sixth.

We do have the same teams in the top 6, and I'm getting worried that I might be seen to be agreeing with you! Let's see how the season pans out.

Pettybourne played today, and was gash, one of the Toulouse pack that was utterly bossed by Featherstone's. I guess reading a match report on Frivolous Featherstone's website is too difficult for an ambassador of the French game such as yourself, or maybe the text is too blurred through the tears.

Fev are the team to watch this season, they will take some beating

Re: Toulouse returns to top form : Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:08 pm  

Jean, how does it feel that Toulouse lost to a part time team from a village?

God, it must hurt.

On a serious note, any of the top 6 can beat anybody, let's celebrate the fact it's a great competition. Will Fev hit top 4? I wouldn't like to predict, but have beaten two contenders. If they can be consistent, then who knows.

It's a long season, with plenty of twists, turns, etc on the way.

Enjoy the ride.

Six (6) tries to four (4) is hardly a trouncing. Goal kicker Mark Kheirallah was off target in his kicking. Could have been 36-24 if he was on target. Plus Toulouse are still missing two key players. It should be a much different result when frivolous Featherstone meet terrific Toulouse in Toulouse.

I've noticed every time they lose,you always comment on key players missing. Possibly they should start investing in players that can cover those key roles.We are week 2 into the season and they don't have alternatives to accommodate. They are fulltime are they not?

Why is it 3 points for a win in the Championship, but only 2 points for a win in Super League?
