I don't want to jinx things but I think Bradford should be pretty certain of the playoffs its just who gets 3rd or 4th between them and Fax. Disclaimer that both teams could fall apart from here but Im talking on current form. The decider could be in a few weeks time and I must say Im very happy that Bradford have Fev the week before we play them. There maybe a few tactical results come the end of the season depending if its decided that Toulouse can't play their playoff game at home.

Depends if they make fax and Batley go to Toulouse in August when other teams haven’t been this year 😉

Yeah that's my worry. It wouldnt be a great situation if either team had to go to France and either of them missed out on the top 6 because of a loss over there while their rivals had not had to do the same.

Fax and Widnes are the strongest teams Fev have played, especially Fax.

With the new relaxation of COVID travel arrangements it still relies on players being double vaccinated. No full vaccination, then no travel, so I guess the teams that don't have a big squad to chose from will still not be travelling.  

The Fev game was postponed at Toulouse because the RFL refused to accept that TO's COVID protocol was good enough, and I doubt there is time now left to rearrange that game.

It was nowt to do with covid protocol all about part time players having to isolate and miss work TO penciled in next sat to play FEV but FEV at wembley they  had a contingency plan to play newcastle instead so we will have to see if that proposed game sees light of day on the 17th

 

 

d so will have to see if that game makes the light of day

Well, that was what Cedric (the TO CEO) told me anyway.

No match on the 17th July for TO, i think the Dewsbury match will be postponed or cancelled as well.  The next match for TO will be Fev away on 1st August. I'm actually in the UK at the moment...quarantining before a funeral, and I might still be around on the 1st so will pop over to watch if I can...and if it's on.

Toulouse’s home match against Featherstone on May 1 has been postponed.

The game has been pushed back to a later date because of the quarantine regulations that are currently in place in the UK. People returning from a stay in France are required to self-isolate for at least ten days.

Hard to tell really as most are in the biggest stand (east) so are well spread out (covid) with a smattering in the south. Press probably being lazy and not contacting club for ST's and tickets bought over the net and ticket office. While I am here , being new you have to turn up with a ticket on your i phone or printed off with the QR code as you can't buy tickets at the turnstyle.

Done a bit of hiking in Andorra. Some absolutely fantastic scenery although the heat was almost unbearable at times....and as for the €9 for a can of coke from the mountain huts!

Fearful for Fev's unbeaten record this afternoon. A string of late changes, with Hall and Parata dropping out at the last minute, Holmes and Ferguson also not fit, adding to the absentee list of Minns, Bussey, Lockwood, Welham, Day, Halton and Blackmore.

A left wing combination of John Davies and half back Harvey Spence on show today.

I live in the Pyrenées as well. Maybe we should have some sort of fans-meet-up in the mountains from time to time

Not sure who the commentator is for the London v York game but he’s possibly the worst commentator I’ve ever heard on any sport ever.

Lucky you I have paid my 10 Squid but there is no stream (Last time with Our League I have tried around 5/6 matches and the quality is pretty appalling)

Thats scandalous 

I had lunch in Mantet yesterday with the local beer very reasonable.

Andorrans (Proper ones) are basically Catalans and the worst type money grabbing b------s who have over commercialised the place.
