Sat 9th Jul: SL-MW: Wakefield Trinity v Toulouse Olympique KO 14:30 (Sky)

[Davo5]

Why take so long with the conversion ?

[gingerjon]

I think Toulouse scoring the 'intercept' about sums it up.

Great fun.

[Damien]

That was woeful 

[Davo5]

We’ll that last 60 secs summed up the game,not the greatest quality,crazy rugby but thoroughly entertaining.

Yeah but it was brilliant entertainment.

It was nice of Wakefield to gift another 12 points in terms of the points differential. The way things are going it could be crucial. 

[ATLANTISMAN]

Enjoyed that commiserations to Wakey

What a game!

Just what I was thinking, but probably not for the same reasons as yourself Salop.

[fieldofclothofgold]

Well that makes it very interesting 

[Dunbar]

If Toulouse get promoted from the Championship, play out a season in the top division of a sport with 10 of the 12 teams based in another country and avoid relegation it will be one of the finest achievements in sport.

[StandOffHalf]

Good lord!

Well done to TO.

@clogdance What's so confusing? The referee is making correct calls. Wakefield are trying to spoil and are justifiably being penalised. It's not really confusing. 

I was just doing a Davo5. The 'high tackle' was a comical though. Wakefield player came in to tackle, and he got penalised because the Toulouse player slipped. But when you don't have the ball for 20 minutes, 2 players binned and continuous 'set restarts' against you, there will be only one outcome.

Bless indeed.

I think Wakefield need 3 wins to survive. My guess is Toulouse will get 14 points max and they have a better differential than Trinity.

Both sides need to raise their games massively after seeing this.

[Scubby]

David Fifita and Tony Gigot are players that end up at clubs in 11th and 12th for a reason. 

[barnyia]

Belmas and Sangaré had great games, maybe changes the game, France have some decent props for the world cup, Sangaré, Bousquet, Springer, belmas, navarette, dezaria, Séguier? Looks like 2 super League teams may be helping produce French players?

Toulouse play:

Leeds (H) - Salford (H) - Hull (H) - Hull KR (A) - Warrington (A) - Wigan (A) - Catalan (H) - Hull (A) - Saints (A)

They’ve got to win at least 4 of them to stay up.

There's a fair few winnable games there. Its real toss of the coin stuff. Toulouse problem up to now was the narrow defeats. Now with a bit more confidence more of these may be turned into wins. Even the likes of Saints in the last game may have one eye on the play offs.

I think best hope for Toulouse is Salford, Hull and Catalans taking them to 14 points. 

Wakefield would then need 3 more wins

Can you imagine the meltdown on here if Toulouse are still in with a shout of avoiding relegation and Catalans & Saints rest players.

[barnyia]

Toulouse have a hundred point better goal/points  average than Wakefield, that counts as match won almost 

[kiggy]

Well, that was entertaining.

Went for a walk around the pool at half time and kicked a couple of things hard, which helped.

I would like to watch the 2nd half again without my heart doing 180 to the minute.

40 points I think. Wakefield conceding 158 points in 3 weeks has really hurt them.

Mmm Catalans... lose against Toulouse and have a future local derby and possibly two trips less to the UK, probably to Wakefield..... Or try and send Toulouse down. Yes it's a tough one
