lingaro Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 What's the matter Gittsinfan too difficult for you to consider? Tolouse have played 11 we've played 16 so far 5 more games in which to pick up injuries which we have, we now have 4 players are now out for the season all of which are SL standard. How many injuries have TO picked up this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lest we forget the 5 additional cup games we've played this season, which Toulouse, with their sizeable full time squad and supposedly 3x our spend, were once again laughably allowed to opt out of playing. Good old RFL. I can't wait for us to play Toulouse again, hopefully in the playoff final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES they got within 10 TO won 44- 34 but it was a funny old game TO scored 6 unanswered tries in first 30 mins to go 34 nill up and then according to FAX fans stopped playing and just went through the motions to do enough to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old RFL. I can't wait for us to play Toulouse again, hopefully in the playoff final. The situation has been explained on here many times.It's not the fault of the RFL or Toulouse and it's certainly not a conspiracy against Fev.Read back through the threads,some of your own fans have explained the situation admirably.

We know who and what we're dealing with so I've no doubt all options will unofficially remain on the table until they know the outcome of the playoff final. If Toulouse and (somehow) Bradford make it to the final, I'd expect the idea of promoting two and increasing SL to 14 to be resurrected. Working on the basis that they're unlikely to play any more home games, Toulouse have got 3 league games left while we have 5. By my reckoning that will see us end the season with Toulouse having played 14 competitive fixtures and us having played 26 (21 X league and 5 x cup), i.e. just about twice as many, yet they will still finish top of the league with a fresh and rested full time squad, and be in pole position for promotion. If anybody wants to tell me that's either fair or reasonable, I've got a bridge to sell you. As stated above, I can't wait to play them again. We owe them a proper hiding, for the good of the game if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingaro Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The RFL knew they wouldn't be playing a large amount of fixtures, any half brained individual would. How can it be fair to any team in our league. You only think differently because it suits your agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you care to explain how giving Toulouse, an innocent party, a "proper hiding" is somehow for the good of the game then I may become more enlightened. Otherwise it simply comes across as bitter. You might also point me to your previous posts on this forum so that I can educate myself in the correct way of adding to meaningful discussions in the future.
