A relief that they finally get a lead and manage to keep it. Watching them this season though I stil thought they could blow it with 10minites to go. Having Guy back in the team is good news, his tackling is a big bonus...he seems to have a 10' wing span at times.

They did the basics right this match, apart from a slight 3 penalty wobble which gifted KR their try. I've just seen the stats and they completed their first 8 sets which is the best game they've had this season. Gigot had a decent match too, which tends to make a big difference.

Interesting stat about yesterdays win. That was the lowest number of french players in the Toulouse starting 13 all season.

I would imagine it correlates with jeopardy. Reap what you sow.

Yeap and the 2 leading promotion contenders don’t seem adverse to loading their teams with imports.

From all the talk about how Hull KR were now genuine contenders etc and all the pre season bluster about them and then the early season form, they are now an abysmal rabble, and it all appeared to unravel when Smith announced he was parting company.

Surely TS can't stay until the end of the year now?

Well done Toulouse, a long shot but I really hope you can catch Wakey.

Not straight away it didn't, their first game after he announced he was leaving was against Wakey at home and they won 32-10, although with the greatest respect to Trin, that's perhaps not a great indicator of Hull KR's form at the time.
