Hurrumph. But yes, that was a good game. TO just don't seem to turn up away from home, but Doncaster were the better team.

I noted that Marion and Lacans as halves. Any idea why Jake is missing?

6-8 months, it depends a bit on age though. Dom - Achilles 1st game of the season available maybe September Calum - Achilles - back around the same time as Dom P.J. - Achilles - Semi-final last year, back possibly end of June Paolo Dall'Asta: ACL last July, available end of May

Are the Youtube numbers also included in the IMG scoring?

I am seeing reports that Thomas Lacans has joined TO for the rest of the season.

Ste Tyrer. He was on the pitch for most of the 2nd half, and I have yet to have a reply why. Is there a rule about coaching staff allowed on the pitch? Do they think that they can get away with something different being in France? As an experiment, I will now video the visiting team staff on the pitch. Just for my own intérest. We were on, or abouts, the 10m line when that try was scored. The assistant was behind the play and Ste Tyrer was blocking him from seeing the ball grounded. It was a try. The referee decided differently and we are where we are. I am all for a game of 13 v 13, but... I can't understand why the visiting side need someone on the pitch constantly. Do the Widnes players need someone constantly telling them which way to run? TO had enough chances to win that match but they didn't. Widnes were very lucky in the end, but that doesn't detract from the way they played.

An update... things happen fast in internet land. It's only available in France apparently.

This popped up last night which is good news as it will reach a wider audience

if it;s like the TO "deal" last season, the club pay the production costs. Do you know if the ViaOccitanie "deal" is going ahead this year for TO ?

I read somewhere that L'Equipe will be showing some SL games. I haven't anything to the contrary so I assume ViaOccitanie will continue their live coverage of all TO matches.

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.

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. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/two-time-super-league-winner-bids-farewell-to-high-flying-championship-club However: new kid on the block, another youngster from the TO academy has signed a professional contract for next season: https://www.to13.com/a-la-une/premier-contrat-professionnel-pour-baptiste-rodriguez/

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.

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.

A question: for those TO matches televised (here in France) do the away side get any revenue from it?

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.

No. It's on the radio though.

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.

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.
