Kayakman Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Got to come out better at the start of the game with some big hits to stall that Toulouse offence....can't have a slow start in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu266 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Very impressive from Toulouse. London scored quickly at the beginning of both halves, but TO responded convincingly. Makes the Easter Monday game even bigger. J-3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayakman Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 They operate very smooth like a fine peanut butter....just got to 'jam' them up and down the hatch it all goes....right into the hungry belly of the wolf.

RobertAM Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 We can and will beat them. Must say though really impressed with the way Toulouse are marketing the matchup..sorry to say puts a number of UK clubs to shame...York markets well, Fev did and so did Leigh..and correspondingly the fans need to get behind their clubs even if its on a small scale p/t volunteer level and sell, sell, sell what is, the greatest game in the world.

manu266 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 very good marketing indeed. And they are happy to be on TV too, not like you know who, with a French name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayakman Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 We have to start quick tomorrow, no O'Brien. Need to smother tackle them right from the get go.....if they get in their offensive rhythm we got a big problem....best defence is a good offense...need to take it to them. Needless to say, biggest game of the year so far....using Fev as a tuner was a good idea though. We will see our weaknesses exposed tomorrow , should be a dandy of a game.

I think that's the French way of saying to Toronto "On yer bike". My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatcapper Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I think its a way of all of us saying on yer bike , if there is a strong ref he might just penalise you for what you say smother tackling or laying on and slowing the ptb down like you normally do.

You boys need to get a grip of Jonathan Ford - the bloke is class and had he not been injured playing for the Cook Islands TO would be in Super League now, he’s that good. However I do recognise a good win the pack had at Feath, so well done ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluded pom? Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I see even the Froggies on the general forum are whinging that TWP had a try allowed that they claim was a knock on. I haven’t seen it yet but I hope it was more subtle than the patently obvious knock on not seen against Fev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen DP there is one thing about Rugby League I don't like, all the complaining about the ref....it is what it is... of course refs are human and make the odd error...it always works itself out somewhat evenly by the end of the game. People gotta just make an initial comment on the ref and just leave it at that....I would give the ref a b or b plus for his effort today. I thank him for his time and the touch judges also.

manu266 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I've listened to the game more than watched it, but sounded like a perfect first half for the pack and then they finally managed to avoid silly penalties, total control at the end despite the Toulouse come back. Rendez-vous à Newcastle pour la suite... Half time scores elsewhere: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the sentiment Kman and the rules of the game don’t help the man in the middle. Too many grey areas. However there are times when they make mistakes that just shouldn’t happen. The knock on by Hopkins was literally three yards away and directly in front of the ref. Stevie Wonder would have blown his whistle and not given the try. Having said that I wouldn’t do the job for all the maple syrup in Canada. I’m also not a fan of the VR system. It’s gone way beyond what it was initially implemented for and that’s to adjudicate on try or no try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kman’s favourite player is one of the worst offenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds to the excitement....and is an indicator of maturity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
