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.

I'm laid up after an emergency operation. Do French TV stream TOXIII away games?
No, just the home games

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.

58-6 FT in France (for TO).
Got a bit scrappy towards the end. Some handbags as well, although nothing to get het up about.

Their fans will be along shortly to comment.
I thought TO looked OK. I don't know if that was because Wakefield were very poor, or TO put them on their place. The sin bin helped though, a bit of a dopey tip tackle from the Wakefield lad.
It was hot out there today. 33 in the stands so probably around 38 to 40 on the pitch. Same again forecast for next Saturday.

Ok thanks for that, I hadn't checked the team fully but if anything that supports my point as they clearly had to work hard to beat Whitehaven and the number missing might explain why, I had just noticed that aginst Fev their starting 13 were numbers 1 to 13.
There is also the point about match suspensions as well, which doesn't help the teams. The Bradford match coughed up a lot for the Disciplinary bods. Eloi and Dimitri copped 1 match bans, although I think Eloi has an injury anyway.
I do have a question about bans in general. The Bradford lad Jorge Taufua got cited twice and got two bans, a 1 match and a 2 match. Does that mean 3-matches overall, or does the 1-match ban run concurrently with the 2-match ban?

Whitehaven 24, Toulouse 34 FT
We were on our way back from Nice to the Pyrénées and stuck in the traffic heading towards Spain. We managed to pick up the BBC Radio Cumbria (many thanks for the commentary guys!). 1st half was awful, 2nd half got a little better as I think Farmer gave them a shellacking at half time. Anyway, it helped while away the time on the A9 carpark in +30degree heat.

Thornley called into the pack today for a severely depleted Trinity squad which includes a youthful bench of Smith, Booth and Shaw. Going to be tough at the tip.
Listening to the Bulls radio, it seems Bradford's discipline was as awful as last week at Toulouse. It seems to have cost them the match.
NB: The "chat" that accompanies the Bulls radio coverage is an absolute delight. LOL funny !

Great point for us. Toulouse were in red hot form and they looked full strength from what I could see. Fear it may have taken a lot out of us though and may have a score put on us next week.
Think both sides have grievances with some decisions though.
Taufua (who was a liability) should have seen a second yellow for his second late hit. Wouldn't have complained if it was red for two yellows for same offence.
Toulouse should have had a man sin-binned for the head clash. Lehmann doesn't suddenly change direction and the rule all year has been head clashes where there's no sudden change of direction have been sin-bins for the defender.
No idea how none of the officials missed Lilleys multiple knock-on prior to our first try.
Scurr will cop a ban for the Shorrocks tackle.
Not sure what Doro got sin-binned for, looked very innocuous but Ref had better view than me.
Knee dropping into a players head when the on the ground, splitting their eye isn't "part of the game" ref and we should have had a penalty to win it late on.
Thought it was a tough brutal game with both sides going at it and think both will take a point. Toulouse still the team to take second spot for mine.
I think Doro just happened to be the next talked too. The ref had had enough and said next ones off. Probably minor and wrong place at wrong time. Too many stoppages for me in the game, too many niggles going on and the play stopped. TO were grateful for the sin bins as they scored both tries with players off the pitch. I don't think they would have done as well otherwise.
Probably the last one I will go to for a while, No1 son has moved on and there isn't as much pull to do the 6hr drive round trip now especially with it on the telly.

General question about who is allowed on the pitch other than players. I know there are medics, and water carriers have blue tops. Who has the green shirt? Bald, chubby bloke from Bradford spent more time on the pitch than some of the TO forwards. Just wondering what job he has?

Just watching Toulouse vs Bulls.
How Bulls aren’t down to 10 that second half I don’t know.
Shoulder on kicker after ball - standard penalty…
Hip drop basically ending a Toulouse players game and leg in a bad way was a clear red. Ref completely missed it.
Taufua shot the line and put a shot on (no wrapping) and hit a player who didn’t even get the ball as it missed him - penalty.
Super lenient officiating…bet Toulouse are rightly frustrated
According to the couple of Bradford fans in the bar behind me Bradford were playing against 14 today. You can't please some people can you!
The hip drop against Shorrocks was dreadful. A couple of Bradford players celebrating when he got carried off was a bit distasteful. Some awful off the ball hits as well so I think on balance the two yellow cards were merited.
Nice to see Ryan Rivett nail the touchline conversion later on in Shorrocks' place though. Good job he did.
TO unlucky to get the draw but the way Bradford have been playing recently I would take that result. Bradford players out on the feet at the end so it was a tough game for both sides. Good job it was a cool day too.

From today the 1 is at catalans, the 4 lenny marc, the 6 Gimenez the 2 replacement props too, only the 1 has played higher than u19s, the 9 was from Toulouse but came through the lezignan system, the 17 from Toulouse too, out of these I reckon 2 or 3 will make full time rugby the rest will play elite 1, jammes, martin and rostang have played elite 1 all year as has the number 1 for xiii Catalan, you may not believe this but the no1 played his first ever game as a full back today, he plays centre and played 13 in the u17s france team.
That no1 would have Robin Brochon a run for his money!

I dropped my mum off at Carcassonne airport this afternoon. And my word a RL love in!
Bumped into Justine Sangaré on his way back to the UK (he's having a great time at Leeds by the way, still coming to terms with the accent though), my word, he's a big lad now! Gone from a podgy youngster to a beast of a man!
Who should walk in? Rémy Casty and the U19s on the way to the match tomorrow. Rather funny watching the skinny youngsters next to the man mountain. He was that small...probably...at one time.

With all these cameras, does this mean the TO v Fev match will have a video ref? That'll be a first!

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.
