Sat 5th Mar: SL: Toulouse Olympique v Wigan Warriors KO 18:00 (CET)

[Maximus Decimus]

That last drop goal looked like he spooned it on first viewing. I'm guessing by the lack of controversy it is just the angle making it hard to see clearly.

Can't disagree with any of that LD, but I feel that their defence is a priority it was suggested that the absence of their long standing fullback is a reason that the defence is not as organised as it should be but I saw the highlights of the Salford game it wasn't as much the organisation of the defence more like the tackling techniques that are lacking, this is not criticism it is an observation.

Just watched the highlights only but the line chase from the kickoff was all over the place, which usually shows how committed the defence are.
 

The first try in the 2nd half (Wigan) should never have happened.  Just a simple commitment to drop on the ball by a TO player near the posts.

There are reasons for everything K'man, I could have said that Wigan have had 3 lucky wins prior to this game and now they are finding their correct level but I don't think or expect that is the case (had I done so I still expect I would have got @Davo5 and @dkwwith the same confused reaction) I honestly believe that Wigan could and should have done better when the teams that took the field and their recent results are compared, I was just delivering a reason that could suggest why the scores were so close.

We’re the 2 teams Leigh managed to beat last year in “ holiday” mode or was it down to Leigh playing well ?

Highlights

The two challenges on Miski that resulted in the early Toulouse scores were no different than the one called a penalty against Murphy by Kendal on Thursday night.

I think it was the referees first game in charge, he wasn't very good

I've had the luck to watch the full match again.  

I feel it is unfair that there is no video ref as a) that try should not have counted as he didn't ground the ball properly, b) Marcon's try on 76mins should have counted.

A very different result if there was a video ref.

However, it's the fault of Toulouse to not sign up with BeIN. It could cost them in the end as none of their matches at home will have a video ref.
