But I doubt we could decline Toulouse’s offer/instruction to travel to England to get the game played. Another £5 into the coffers from me Any talk about other postponed games?

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 This just seems a neat and tidy solution which helps to avoid contributing to what could become a difficult backlog later in the season. Fair play to Swinton for agreeing to it. I see that TOXIII have recorded their thanks to the Lions on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Featherstone have a nice ground but they are papering over the cracks at the moment. What any Championship club needs right now is time to plan to be a SL club. Leigh are showing this and Covid has amplified this requirement. The game is on its knees, SL have set a precedent for promotion. They need to do it again but give clubs more time. Championship clubs are absolutely skint - the cupboard is bare and a lot of it is not their fault. The last thing they need to be doing is spending cash they haven't got pushing for promotion that won't work as they are almost bust now. The fact Toulouse can't play these guys at home is because no one will pay to upgrade their status to elite sports club for Covid permissions. You are bang on here, I cant see how any Fev fan can defend their spineless team from refusing to travel when they claim to be SL ready. Would they have refused to travel to Catalan if they were choose over Leigh? So they are a PT SL ready club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audois Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 TO website indicates that they are hoping, if all goes well, that Swinton will be the first team to play at Ernest Wallon this year on 22nd May. UK and EU looking presently at opening up flights. Fingers crossed.

audois Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Catalans helping hand to TO. Winger Jordan Flovie and prop Hugo Salabio from the Dragons reserve set-up could feature Saturday at Swinton for the game with Widnes.

audois Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Looks likely to include at least Whitehaven also weekend after. Really like these moves - both clubs to gain from it. Flovie (left) 23 yrs old and Salabio 20 yrs old - great opportunity for both of them.

Yep me too, who knows they could even stay for the rest of the season. Two good players and i think Salabio especially has bags of ability. It'll be interesting to see how he does at Championship level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
