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

Best to continue not using it then. https://www.to13.com/a-la-une/joe-cator-rejoint-le-to-a-lessai-jusqua-la-fin-de-la-saison/

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
