Toulouse - squad running thin

[welshmagpie]

Lost Ben Evans and Ben Reynolds in the past couple of weeks.

They had a paper thin squad as it was, could this dent their promotions hopes? Maybe I’ve missed their replacements being announced.

They also lost Paterika Vaivai and Will Barthau as well as Robin, James Bell and Mika. Marcon is out for the season.

It will be interesting to see how they do today, yes they've made some excellent signings but the names that have left were also influential

If we can get all over J Ford like a bad suit then maybe , and stop putting bombs up to Kheirallah as he always makes good yardage/breaks the line .

I can see a few french players arriving when the elite season finishes.

The thought of being able to earn my living playing rugby in Toulouse when I was a young un would have been nirvana to me.....

They had a very good win today against a decent York team

Well I’d hate to seem them at full strength

Let’s hope so because the lack of French representation in the Toulouse match day 17 is a concern.

Forgot to mention that Frank Winterstein also left suddenly just before the season started, so Toulouse are a bit light in the 2nd row too

[The Daddy]

Players who I'd like to see at half back for TO are Tony Gigot, Jack Payne and Lucas Albert. Hopefully it's one of them 

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

Toulouse may well run with a smaller squad and plan to make signings later in the season when it gets to the business end of the year, after all it all comes down to the Play Offs and Grand Final.
