Hull FC 40-10 Toulouse

[Harry Stottle]

This should be a riveting contest, two teams with absolutely nothing to play for.

But don't forget the form both teams bring into the game...

Is it possible to have a negative scoreline?

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Hull by 30.

[northamptoncougar]

you'd normally say Hull by 30 but you couldn't bet against them losing by 30

It's gonna be a pretty boring game no doubt.

[Old Frightful]

Personally, I couldn't give a flying.

Well at the start of the season I was really fancying this one, eager to see Toulouse in the flesh, now we're closing in on the end of the season I couldn't care less. Won't be going seen as I have to really pick and choose games these days due to the whole cost of living crisis and I imagine a heck of a lot of others will have thought the same. No doubt lowest league attendance for years.

Didn't you fancy seeing them when we played them at home on 30th April?

I did but my cost of living crisis has been going on a lot longer than the government approved one my friend. 

No, can't remember why but right from the start I've been focusing on this toulouse game as opposed to the earlier one, I'll have had a reason right back when the fixtures came out, can't remember why now though.

All the hallmarks of a classic this one, should have been a shoe in for TV.

Going Leigh mate, I'm masochistic but not quite that masochistic.

The most irrelevant rugby league match since the Rugby League irrelevant 13s played the Rugby League irrelevant Iguanas.  
 

Irrelevant.

[Ullman]

Well I'm looking forward to it so you can all just sod off.

Yep.

20 minutes gone. Hull lead 18-0. Two tries for Barron and the other for Gardiner. Good to see the kids on the score sheet. I think its safe to say that Toulouse have had their spirit broken now that relegation is confirmed. A shell of a Hull team could well win by 60 here.

I think the Hull FC victory over in France a few weeks ago broke their spirit.  Coupled with Wakefield's victory at Cas that same day it completely changed the relegation picture.

In hindsight it was a big moment in the relegation battle. 

24-0 now.

[jacksy]

Plenty of youth getting a game, which can only be good for the club.

I hope TO can stay up somehow.

It was broken earlier than that to be honest. They reached the "what's the point" point a while ago

They were ahead of Wakefield going into that game he mentioned. It was a big turning point. They did seem to drop their heads quite quickly after that though.

It's still 24-0 at half time. Neither team has gone particular close since Vulikujapani's try.
