Yeah Leigh fans in particular still bang on about it - you know the usual thing that our whole team was entirely made up of Leeds reserves in 2019 (which we did well to get away with given that we were only allowed 4 out of the 17). They also used this as a reason why they deserved to take up Torontos place last year. Again a bit rich given that they brought in the big guns for the 2019 play offs (Kevin Brown etc) but still failed miserably

Yeah done that one before. Depends which way you look at it. Seems acceptable to have a relaxing weekend with the missus in the lakes with a game thrown in - whereas Toulouse just seems a lot of hassle and expense just to get to the game and come home. Never tried it mind.

Good advice

Its more than the cost of a season ticket.

Funny that. Its the what ifs that I hate about Rugby League

1. Ferres (that says it all) 2. Davies 3. Bussey

Toulouse 1st try was fine. 2nd he lost control. Not even debatable. Ferres in the corner fine. Anyone who expected anything other than these ###### decisions hasnt been watching us long enough. (ffs even Phil Clarke 'disallowed' 2 of them). Yes we bottled it in the first halt, we were rubbish, and overall you cant argue about the result but im just thankful that those decisions didnt (statistically speaking at least) affect the result. The sooner we accept this as being the closest we get to SL the better. Its not the despair its the hope i cant handle.........

Can just see him as Toulouse Lautrec - on the touchline ready to come on.. With a ball shaped beumb thrown to him by the RFL. Seriously I wouldn't put it past them (He says sarcastically to all the gullible smug anti-conspiracists)

I need to improve my googling skills. Was looking into the possibilty of travelling over but didn't see anything between Friday and Sunday that was do-able.

No answer to that

I dont think Bussey played last time either ? I'd have Moors in even with a shoulder strapped up What about Jones at centre. Might not be a popular choice but I just think we have to throw the kitchen sink at them and to be left wondering with top players sat in the stand would be unforgivable. Welham has been solid this year and he's got more.....solid as the season has progressed but nothing more than that for me. Jones could provide a bit more zip and he'll tackle anything

Come Sunday night that won't be funny any more

yeah the odd one or two.

The strong rumour about Luke B this week was giving me real cause for optimism for next years Championship campaign ahead of next weeks inevitable close defeat in the final. Now I'm back to square one with this Chizzy nonsense. I really need another positive rumour to cancel it out....

No. But your post and one above suggested that leaving them out were options. Imo they have been two of the best players this season and they make the 17 without a second thought....

Well we're lunatics

If Webster leaves out either Parata or Gale he's a nutter.

That previous history thing makes me laugh. Im sure the vast majority of players from both sides aren't giving it a second thought

Not me. I'll find something or someone to complain about should we lose.

Yep that just about sums it up. Should we progress we could also do with Batley actually giving Toulouse a game for 80 minutes.

Its almost impossible for Toulouse to pick up injuries when they do play - given that nobody bothers tackling them. Oldham gave them a game a few weeks back and they picked up some knocks......

Just printing this off and putting it on my wall. A Leigh fan giving us some credit. Wonders never cease....

Yep. Top player and great news if true. Just interesting about the part time thing though.....

Well he destroyed Blackmore's season (probably career at Rovers as well) Great player ? Thorn in our side ? I just remember him as a comedy ball juggler.

Jonny D might have something to say about that
