Would like to see Wail Skoundri get signed to the Toulouse first team. Quality middle foward, 22 years old arguably the best player in the Toulouse 2nd team. Very deserving of a first team call up.
I hope so. He was on the team sheet a couple of times last season and played I think.
H has gone to Pia
I'm hearing reports that Guy Armitage has also left the club. I liked him, he was a very personable chap, very approachable. I wonder if he also will stay in France.

Out with the old, in with the new.
Sorry to see H leave, maybe one season too much but he managed to get to the end without injury. He seems to have been around for decades.
However: new kid on the block, another youngster from the TO academy has signed a professional contract for next season:

Very odd streaming service. My laptop connected to the TV wouldn't work but on my phone it worked perfectly, but casting to the TV wouldn't work.
42yrs in IT and I still know eff all how this stuff works..or more to the point, doesn't work.

TO did announce theirs.

Need someone from IMG to leak the Excel spreadsheet

Sorry - a bit late to the party.
Is there a link to a complete list of the gradings? I don't mean the overview, but something that shows each club and how their points were tallied up? I have tried to look in this thread using "complete" but no luck, i've also tried accessing IMG site and RL sites to see if there is a link there.

First and foremost. Thanks to the Sportsman for promoting that game. Potentially across the globe, it was superb.
Well done Wakefield, I can't remember the last game TO didn't score. So well done for a fantastic treble and, maybe, a new life in the SL.

I don't think there is any revenue from French TV deals. At most they will be done "at cost". Often some of those costs will be being covered by the French club... which the away side is very welcome to contribute to!!
It used to be the case that TO had to stump up the production costs for a live feed. I'm not so sure if they do now with this ViaOccitanie deal. I'm not as close to the club anymore as I used to be so can't verify it. Maybe @PECETTO can offer a view.

I agree with this, the Championship doesn't have a TV deal and so any "exceptional" club should pay the extra costs if they want to join the league. If you can't, don't join.
Similarly in Super League, that comp comes with a TV deal you all collectively sell, and if you can't afford the costs associated with being in that league in order to access that revenue (including foreign travel) then you're very welcome in the Championship.
A question: for those TO matches televised (here in France) do the away side get any revenue from it?

12 tickets sold by Toulouse for a grand final is pathetic to say the least. The Bulls took quite a few fans to Toulouse for the semi with a weeks notice for travel, if Toulouse want to be in SL then at least get up for a final where points are at stake and support your team.
I looked into it. I have to take the loss of 2 days not working so factoring in that cost it would be around 1800euro for the 2 of us to go. There is a bigger contingent of TO fans based in and around Manchester so I would think they would help the numbers.

They fought back from 18-0 down. It was pretty close up until the 50 minute mark.
24-16 at 50'
TO were throwing the ball around a bit more than normal. Not sure what to take from that match other than being positive and a bit of momentum, and allowing Jake some kicking practice.
Edit: A bit of a worry with Sita going off with a bad ankle.

I would like to say merci to the BBC for radio Merseyside.
For you folks in the UK. You don't know what you have until it's gone.

Widnes are missing a lot of players, will be a big result if we beat Toulouse.
Halifax looked pretty good last week, they might fancy their chances against Bradford.
I've just seen the TO squad for the match. Widnes will be fine. If TO lose, Bradford will go for it as 2nd spot is up for grabs.

Apparently Wakey v York on Sunday is being broadcast by the Sportsman channel (YouTube)
Do you have a link to the correct channel as the one I found seems to be dedicated to Guns and Ammo!

I am listening to the BBC radio Cumbria commentary of Barrow v TO, can someone get a message through at half time and ask them to turn the microphone on for the 2nd commentator? She sounds like she is at the other end of the pitch!

Anyone know where Pélissier is off too? He is leaving TO at the end of this year.
Maybe back to the Pizza business.

TO v Sheffield, full time for those interested.

That was at Doncaster, the Knights were at Toulouse, they are a different prospect at home and don’t appear to have travelled well this season.
They are knackered, they don't seem fit enough to cope this year. I year too much for H and Dom maybe.
York defended well.
However, TO will be still in the mix come the playoffs barring a catastrophic next 6 matches.

So..... no change at the top between 1st and 5th with 4 of those teams losing.
What an odd weekend of games.

Smacks of cost cutting
I'm fairly sure the touch judges are normally French, the little fellah I see a lot. I'm not sure why the players would need to speak to the flag guys anyway.
There have been French refs in the past but it is normally an English guy they send over. Maybe they had problems with some sort of Ref Rota during the summer holidays? Or is it possible that one of the points to help raise the French games is to involve more French referees at a higher level?
It does work the other way to. Not all the TO french lads speak English. Maybe not a big a problem but still the same issue.

Yes, TO offloaded him. I liked him, very personable chap. If he can stay injury free he will do well. Strange that he went to the UK though, I thought he would stay in France given his history and that his brothers are still here. I thought he might go back to 15's with his brother Steffon who was at Nice recently but has moved on to CO Berre.
