Ladbrokes' RL Cup Rnd 6 Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Toulouse Olympique May 8 2pm

[damp squib]

This game has all the makings of a non event that is unlikely to pull in a decent crowd. I'll be there with the regulars expecting a comfortable win.

A Wakefield win by about 20.

I genuinely can't understand this. Surely playing a team from another country that you haven't already seen a hundred times before should be more of a draw?

I'm just thinking in relation to pulling in neutrals/floaters on what is probably going to be a nice sunny Sunday afternoon.

For me, teams from afar are more of an interest to visit. Before the draw was made I posted hoping for away v Toulouse.

[wackojacko]

That was Widnes, not Wakefield.

 

Wakefield played a couple of French teams in the late 90s in the Treize Tournoi, but I don't think they've played Toulouse before.

 

Do ignore me then.

 

It's not relevant in 2016.   Still believe Wakefield will put Toulouse away easily.  Quarter finals here Wakefield come.

 

In any case, I said I hoped, not that I thought it was likely - a hot day in Toulouse might help them but in Wakefield I very much doubt it.

[Manfred Mann]

If Toulouse are not at full strength (which means their Aussies and the Franco-Kiwi Bentley brothers) they will get hammered.

[Fabou]

As this player (ex wakey?) explain in this interview (eng), Toulouse has nothing to-lose  ahah

well... i cant wait for the match and hope for the best. I cannot see Toulouse winning by more than 1 point! 

I really hope that we will not be "hammared" and that we will show great resistance... 

 

is there any livestream from a  wakefield fan that we allow us to see the match?

btw is it possible to follow the match somewhere else than twitter?

[Old Frightful]

Have asked on the Wakey section of RLF if anybody knows of any radio commentary but there's none listed that I can find.

 

I'll let you know if I find out anything.

[Old Frightful]

Can only find live ish updates.

 

Johnstone in,

 

4-0 Wakey.

[Forever Trinity]

16-0 to Wakey after 16 minutes

[Forever Trinity]

20-0

[Forever Trinity]

22-0 with conversion after 18 minutes ominous for the French

[Old Frightful]

Bloody hell, Wakey aren't hanging around, I fear for Toulouse.

[Fabou]

dont panic, thats part of the plan! now we gonna start our way back to our victory by one point, as i predicted!!!

[Fabou]

after all it is probably better that i dont see this live... 

[Old Frightful]

A good philosophy, I reckon.

[GeordieSaint]

22-4?

Comeback on as per Leigh last year?

[Fabou]

22 - 10 !

[Forever Trinity]

22-10 now half time French team coming back into it

[Old Frightful]

Good stuff, hope they can keep it close.

[Fabou]

We better score early in the second half... the last 15-20mn might be difficult..

You've just dropped the ball in the act of scoring... might have been your chance.

[GeordieSaint]

I wasn't wrong... Wakefield go up field and score... Ashurst off a kick.
