Why is it that a full time team can only play on Saturday afternoons? Like the Catalan Dragons I think it is do with France being a Catholic Country and Sunday play is not allowed for home games, though they can play in the UK on that day! 1 If you like old type radio comedy/drama's etc listen to http://pumpkinfm.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygilf Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Bug test for Sheffield who will be disappointed after last weeks start at Odsal. Toulouse are a major test and beating them would send a real marker to the rest of the division. Shame it isn't being OuRLeagued tbh but my mates and I will enjoy it in person!

The Phantom Horseman Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 26-0 at half time to Sheffield. Sheffield are very good this year especially on their own ground. It doesn't look a bad Toulouse team on paper but they are missing quite a few and their lack of quality depth is being exposed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues Ox Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I said after playing Sheffield I thought they would be top 4 this season they look a very good team. Fev should win the league by some distance as other teams will beat each other but is there a real chance that Toulouse don't even make the top 4?

kiggy Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Bad day at the office for TO. Still, 2nd in the league though, so it's not all doom and gloom. A new fullback on the way, so they can forget about this afternoon and look forward to the Easter weekend. Sheffield will give most teams a run for their money at home.

Expatknight Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I think there will be a few results this season that go against predictions, no easy games in this league as the Knights found out last week against Haven. I think even Fev may get turned over by at least one team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Northern Ireland, the Çatholics play on Sunday but the Protestants won't, so I doubt whether religion is anything to do with it. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

With the combination of injuries, and unforced errors that Rovers are making this is almost a certainty in the very near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree re Sheffield, best squad they have had in 7 or 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree re Sheffield, best squad they have had in 7 or 8 years. I've not heard Escaré's name mentioned. There are 2 others I've heard who have been contacted, one from Elite and one from overseas. I was hoping they would stick with Brochon. If this year is a rebuilding exercise then with one eye on the future, it is imperative to bring in the French youngsters. Sheffield do have a lot better side this season, however, when I asked what positives could be taken from the Toulouse performance I was told "none" and I quote, "they were ######".

They framed better in the second half, to be fair. 1 "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
