Never learned to swim then?

When I stated on these pages that jeopardy games had as much interest as the race for the top I got lambasted and was told that was completely wrong, at the time of writing this thread is the most pop

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

Well, that was entertaining.

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

I enjoyed that. Not the greatest quality but for a neutral, very entertaining.

I do wonder, however, why the commentators continue to pronounce Gigot's name differently, especially when they are sitting side by side. It continues to propagate the idea that RL folk are just dumb. Oh, and it isn't Houlez either.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Or Hools . It’s not great , and it’s not that difficult . Look at the Fox commentators pronouncing the Polynesian / Pacific Island names in the NRL , even down to the accent on vowels . It’s just a bit of work and research , and respect ( and it’s your job )

As daft as it sounds I think that kind of game will be enjoyed by people new to the game more than most other, technically excellent games. It was end to end, loads happening, not always good, but the game was non stop.

For me that game had everything and well worth staying up for. The handling errors by Toulouse  in the fh should have ensured a Wakefield win but they fell apart in the sh. Having guys in the bin didn't help their cause but I think the result would still have been a Toulouse win.

That game was over till fifita gets himself a dumb yellow.  They were cruising Wakefield. 

Cruising? It wasn't what Wakefield were doing it was the the amount of  simple errors Toulouse made and yes they made them pay. Once Toulouse got there act together it was over, their defence improved and they scored some great tries.

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. 

And none of those will present Toulouse with the ease to put points on the board as Wakefield did yesterday, and even HKR and Wire should be able to conjure up better attacking options than Wakefield, I can't see Toulouse getting a return of 4 win's and 5 losses from these 9 fixtures, if they do they will have deserved to stay up.

Is that what you wish for Dav? Just to give Toulouse an edge so to speak, it all depends on how the top 4 is fairing up, if either Cats or Saints need wins to secure their best finishing position it ain't likely to happen.

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 😂

A few years ago there was meltdown of a different kind on these pages when Salford played HKR in the MPG, it was all about what will happen to the player's and employees of the losing team, they could have families dependent on their earnings and have little future prospects.

Now don't get me wrong, I would not change P&R for the boring closed shop situation, but I get the feeling that if Wakey go down there will not be to much concern for those connected to the club by many on these pages, but if it happens to be Toulouse who suffer the jeopardy then that will gather great sympathy from quite a few of our esteemed subscribers.

Yep, Wakefield have no one else to blame but themselves. They had got themselves into a great position and blew it. When you can't get the ball, your defence is leaking like a sieve it and the momentum has turned it becomes impossible to win the game. Toulouse played some great, attractive rugby in that second half.

I take it you agree then?

And re the other question, do you want Cats and Saints to send other than their best possible available teams to TO?
