Justin you mean? Has he transitioned to Justine?

Toulouse are four points below the next team above them. They can no longer hope that picking up an occasional win will be enough as the team immediately above them will be doing that too. They need to string some wins together. This would be a good match to start that run.

Looking at the Cas squad, Toulouse should win this by a small margin.

The natives are not happy! Ref gifted Cas the ball and Cas scored. Still... very tight game and it is hot here. If TO can keep with Cas until the last 15mins then they might edge it.

Another game Toulouse haven't been able to close out. What a shame for them.

14-20, game over.

Yep 4 games they have led in the second half in recent weeks. 

[kiggy]

That was rubbish to be honest. TO had a golden chance and blew it again. They didn't play at all in the 2nd half, no line running, very flat, running sideways at times. Can't tackle for toffee. Gifted another 2 stupid tries to Cas. Another close encounter but ultimately another tick in the lose column

[Wellsy4HullFC]

With Wakey getting another win, can't see them surviving now. Although they've got several winnable games coming up in the next 2 months. Not over just yet.

[Snowys Backside]

Wakey doing what Wakey do best and another 2 points. 
 

Toulouse doing what prompted clubs do best. Throw 2points away !

Three clubs bunched on 10 points now and two of them in free fall so it aint over yet.

I am glad you mentioned the tackling.

I have noticed also from watching the super league show that the tackling has been very poor for tries conceded. Especially as last year the defence was very good.

Told you. Hope everyone is happy that Toulouse were kneecapped by paying the hundreds of thousands of pounds in travel for supposedly professional sports teams. Hope Toulouse just focus for next season, come straight back up without all the covid nonsense and if clubs cant afford flights to france gtfo of SL. 

Rugby League isn’t exactly a cash rich sport & what money they have I’d prefer was spent on youth development, infrastructure etc etc rather than bloody airfare!

Bang, bang!

In goes another big, long nail.

Pleasantly surprised by that result. As good as another win for Wakey really! Shame Wakey are down there in the mix as Toulouse are the team I'd least like to go down (apart obviously from my own team) and I'd prefer to be able to join the majority on here in cheering them on. Not that who I cheer for will make a jot of difference given the success I've had cheering on Trinity & England/GB since the 80s, anyone but Wigan in the 90s and generally supporting the underdog in other games!
