GUBRATS Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 3 hours ago, Sir Kevin Sinfield said: Another incredible result from Toulouse beating the recent Super League side London Broncos 66-6. Toulouse have now scored 522 points while only conceding 100 points across their 11 game unbeaten season so far. Toulouse are Super League ready, it was a foolish decision not to promote them last year, the Super League in 2022 will be a much better competition with Toulouse replacing the relegated bottom placed side. ' recent Super League side ' ? , Club yes , ' side ' ? , No How many of the Broncos current ' side ' , played for them in SL in 2019 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , no , no , NO Dave , winning the GF and getting the trophy is much more important than any other benefits like promotion , ' Worth winning in its own right ' springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattSantos Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Scubby briefly touched on the transfer windows earlier. Does anyone have any more details on what that looks like? Cometely agree that if the window effectively closes before you know where youll be playing then thats massively stupid.

It will be closed by default Matt as all the desirable players will be signed up. Thirty years ago you could spend some money in the transfer market and get anyone you wanted within reason. Today, players and agents are the ones calling the shots and they want their players sorted as early as possible for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem is that we don't really have a transfer window as we don't have much of a transfer market. Most players sign for free at the end of their contract. Out of contract players are allowed to officially begin discussions with other clubs from I think 1st June? And given the wages in RL are relatively not very high and the career is pretty short, most want to have their future's sorted before the end of the season.

Since relegation (having won 10 games I add) the wheels came off and unlike Beaumont, Hughes didn't have the ooomph to invest for a quick return.
