Alright, roll call for our trip to the Deep South, who's joining me in Blagnac on Monday?

Does listening on the wireless count? Hope the weather's nice for you all.

Winning today takes the pressure off, a bit.

Chunnelling it tomorrow.

Very disappointed with today's team performance , mainly the lack of leadership, so hoping the young guns go better. I'm running out of patience with Abdull's selfish plays, and the persistence with playing down the middle with lack of grunt up front. All that speed on the flanks, and Blair twiddling his thumbs at 3rd receiver is baffling, although he did come inside in the final quarter and made a difference.

Fortunately, Toulouse suffered a heavy loss against the unfathomable Broncos in a bruising encounter which might lessen the 'daunting'. Rovers to scrape a narrow victory.

Abdul isn't the issue it's Ellis. Outplayed today by Thackeray. Ellis' kicking game is non existent. He dropped the ball cold twice, kicked out on the full then went missing.
Is he the new Kris Keating?

Absolutely spot on, this vendetta people have against Abdull because he's a Hull player is getting rather boring. Personally, I'm a massive fan of Abdull, hope he keeps progressing with us as he is.

Ellis, really disappointing today, flatters to deceive. If he comes to a game with out his kicking boots, he doesn't really have much else to offer imo. Hope he gets better and makes me eat my own words, but can't see it.

Funny how fans see things differently. I'd say Ellis has been the better of the 2 but both are fairly similar.Chisholm although in a losing side has looked far more dangerous and I agree Thackeray today seemed to have more nous.Think it's just that our forwards aren't laying the platform for our half's too dominate,which sounds strange as we have had such big scorelines. Fax and fev both had the best of our pack. The fact we have better fitness and few better individual has got us home. .so far..

We did out score them 6 tries to 3 so we can't have been that dominated as some are making out

Poor planning means I'm three or four (depending on how you count them) continents away.

You people's comments have been good for keeping up though, thanks.

I'd say fax fev and Rochdale all more than matched us in forwards.not a problem result wise I'd agree and if ellis had a better day kicking yesterday it would have been more comfortable.
