Having been to a lot of TO matches it won't be 1500 as the left stand is open. Maybe hit 3500 but let's wait and see

Ryan Cox The TO team is beginning to look a bit thin now, PJ Lima has been called up as well as Lambert and Max

Don't worry, you're allowed one complete brain fart per season gratuit. To be honest I didn't see that coming either.

Only managed to catch up on Twitter, not the best medium to be honest, but sounds like a niggly match. A few bins etc. nilling Batley at home though is a good result. According to the TO twitter feed someone got put on report for biting, not sure how to read it, either Pélissier bit thé No13 or he got bitten. Nothing on the Batley twitter feed (that needs some work though...it's a bit basic)

I did the maths a while back when I was flying from Luxembourg to Manchester to catch the TO games. You also have to add in cost of car higher, which seems to have got very expensive now. Plus cost of car parking when you leave your car at the airport for the weekend. (and if you are self employed, missing two days earnings every couple of weeks). I reckoned it would have been around 12kEUR for the season for all matches, which after tax/cotisations, works out you have to earn about 22KEUR just to afford your hobby. I was lucky, flights were cheap then, and my brother lives about 20mins from Manchester Airport so I had no accommodation costs. I don't go anymore as it is even more hassle getting to Manchester airport from where we live as the only direct flight is from Carcassonne, 2 1/2 hours away.

I think those links work sometimes, not kosher most of the time. I just get a load of porn links when I try them. But If they work then go for it.

I guess just try it and see. It's not too bad a picture, and you do get a commentary, but it can be a bit "glitchy"

It's blocked during the live match. The replay is free to watch. Find someone with a VPN

@League Express Just to be clear , the TO v Doncaster match is 18h00 France time. It is 17h00 UK time

Didn't they lose that good Leeds lad just before the game as well?

Well done Fax. When will TO learn a SL mentality! 30 nil up at half time and still managed to almost blow it.

Welcome to my world! Although it's normally Monday morning when I find out which part of IT has been faffing about over the weekend

Sums Gigot up really. He can be a Jekyll and Hyde character. On form he wins you matches, but equally he has his mad moments and screws things up for the team.

The TO v Widnes match is 18:00 France time. It's 17:00 UK time

Yes, exactly. That won't happen if they finish 7th though. They still need to have a SL mentality both on and off the field, sadly lacking in both at the moment. Long way to go though as we are only on Week 8.

You can get in touch with the RFL. I did, and got a positive response from the CEO. There is also someone in the RFL who is specifically there to safeguard young players. If you send me a message I will send you a couple of emails to write to. It only takes a couple of minutes and it's absolutely worth it.

I spoke to Greg, he has his boot off now and says it could be 5 weeks before he is back. I didn't get a chance to speak to Joe, hopefully Sita will be back next week. Maybe Ben and guy as well. I won't be at the Widnes match but I hope to watch it on the TV. Top 4 maybe, I am bit disappointed that the new president hasn't really spent anything yet.

I'm not sure TO were that hopeless, I think Barrow were very good.for the 30mins. Once Lambert came back and they got that try, Barrow imploded a bit and gave the game to TO. Kicking out on the full twice on the restart gave TO too much advantage. 3 quick tries and there wasn't going to be anything other than a TO win. Jake had a good game too, nice to see some smiling banter with the Barrow faithful when they were giving him some helpful "advise" when he was kicking from the touch line. Good to see. I expected Sita to be back as we bumped into him last week at Pont d'Espagne of all places and he said he was going to be OK. Maybe another week and he will be up and firing for Widnes next week.

Let's hope it's only minor and he's back for next week

Ah...hence the Barrow link. I don't think they've been item for a while now

The match can be found here. https://viaoccitanie.tv/video-replay-toulouse-olympique-xiii-vs-barrow-raiders/ Not a very big crowd yesterday but a couple of dozen Barrow fans made it into the posh seats. Barrow did well to capitalize against the 12 men when Belmas was binned, but TO did well to come back from 4-16 to win 38-16. On a side note: what's with the Georgia Stanway chants aimed at OAB? Couldn't quite make out the detail where we were. It looks like he picked up another leg injury.

I guess you take the times from the BBC ? TO v Barrow is 17h00 UK time 18h00 in France

Full time, 21 v 38. Thanks to HWD radio for an entertaining commentary.

Nice to see another TO Elite player getting a try out. Baptiste Rodriguez, still only 20.

I just looked at the TO team they put out. Ben Laguerre at full back and no Shorocks? I think they did well to get 12pts with that team!
