Well apparently they are the saviour of Rugby League with new TV deals and major commercial sponsors, we’ll all be rolling in it

What would the alternative have brought to the table?

Actually BSJ  TO Founded in 1937, two years after the French Rugby League Federation so that's 84 years old

However if you want to be pedantic one could argue that the current TO side were formed i following liberation by the Allies  the fall of the  Vichy government the lifting of the rugby league ban and the restoration of the French Championship, in 1845 so 76 years old

Thanks. Not exactly Johnny Come Lately's as one poster was trying to insinuate (not you).

I think he was referring to  the years TO have been in the english leagues compared to FEV

Aye... mind.... so is a trip to Whitehaven if you add an overnight in Keswick.... which I'm hoping to do

Yeah done that one before.  Depends which way you look at it.  Seems acceptable to have a relaxing weekend with the missus in the lakes with a game thrown in - whereas Toulouse just seems a lot of hassle and expense just to get to the game and come home.  Never tried it mind.

Oooo Rob....you've missed a treat. For purely selfish reasons and nothing else, I wouldn't lose sleep if TO came back down and were back on our fixture list. It's a cracking weekend
