Yes we noticed that about the lights.

On the game it was two points I have seen us play great and lose tonight the conditions were poor and we played them better. Just poor discipline and coughing the ball up too early cost us some points. The wind was tricky and going in 8-6 at half time with the wind behind ud in the second half was a factor too. the pass from TJ was worth the ticket fee.

I must admit, my thoughts exactly. Something isn’t right with the lights at that end, I know we don’t get Sky cameras at BV very often, but they wouldn’t have been impressed, I hope the lights are still under warranty, because they aren’t doing the job at this moment.

Hope Kelepi and Batch are ok ,who both put themselves about in the game and will certainly be missed next week if they don’t line up against the Wires .

No problems last week when the Sky cameras were here as far as I can recall?

Live there was nothing wrong with the illumination, the video footage of the Johnstone assist looks very dark but the camera appears to readjust when Hall scores. Leeds scored tight in that corner last week in front of the sky cameras and there was nothing wrong with the footage then.

I have considered whether or not the lights have been designed around any redevelopment though. BV is pretty open, but with a potential large roof structure getting installed this could block the light, especially as they are lower than the old ones.

Nothing to do with the lights, poor camera work nothing more.

Why are we always so quick to go for the worst scenario?

No there wasn’t ,which is strange , I stand in same place which is between sticks and corner flag ,but last night looking out across the full pitch that area was definitely darker than the rest of the pitch. I’m sure the powers that be will sort it if there is a problem and it didn’t detract from the game, it was more an observation .

Nah you could see the dark area very clearly. All the lights were on and they looked exactly the same as the one at the entrance gate. There was no obstruction to given shadow.
Might just be the direction they were pointing I guess but you could see it from the flats end.
Not major but you could see the difference.

It was a decent win, we didn't look like losing and Toulouse defended well to be fair.
I think we will play better in the warmer weather.
I'm just happy with the 2 points.

Spot on, I don’t buy this Toulouse we’re pants rubbish, do these people not understand the gam.

It was windy, wet and raining heavily and they expect vintage rugby, I despair at times.

Toulouse defended really well but suffered more than us in attack due to the conditions, not unexpected from a team from the South of France!

We played it tight and got a win and in those conditions got a result, job done.

What staggers me is that many of the moaners claim to have watched the winter game. Well I can tell you now, in the 80’s when I started watching last night would have been considered a depth of winter classic! People have selective memories or need a reality check.

Funny but I’ve just watched the Saints v Wire game, similar score similar game, yet nobody is moaning about that. I’d say Warrington made more errors than Toulouse whilst Saints did nothing special. Just ground out a win like we did.

We are so fixated with misery on here some seem incapable of just enjoying the moment.
