I've no idea why a kick that bounces into touch now gives the opposition team a tap from the middle of the pitch. A rule that changed for absolutely no reason.

Not true, they get a choice of three places on the pitch.

One of which is the middle, which they invariably choose if it's in their own half.

Now we have got the irrelevant pedantry out of the way, why did they change it?

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

That feels like a pretty big nail in the coffin for Toulouse's stay in SL. So many times this year they have been in winning positions and just not had the nous to see it out.

It does. 3 big weeks in which they have had winnable games and would have been hoping to see a couple of wins have seen 0 points.

On the plus side for us neutrals, the HKR fans have stopped booing now everything is ok!

Yeah, once they went into the lead it's like the entire crowd had suddenly had a personality transplant.

Good to hear an enthusiastic and noisy home crowd. You'd think East Hull XIII had just won the cup!

No doubt, though that they deserved to win. More evidence that newly-promoted teams need protection from relegation. The gap between top of Championship and bottom of SL is too great to be bridged in one season. 

Not too late to do something about it this season.

This one was winnable with a video ref, unfortunately they came up short. The others...not a chance, no matter how well they played.  A video ref should be mandatory for all SL games, some of the referring in France has been embarrassing. 

They were hamstrung from the start of this season after all they have to pay for the travelling teams. 

Still... how many games will Wakefield win from here on in? It might all boil down to TO v Catalans in a few weeks time.
