My cunning plan of tippping London to lose last 2 weeks has worked, and they have won both... So I'm tipping Bradford this weekend hoping I'll have similar luck

Potential to be some tight and interesting games this week especially with Haven's win last week, Barrow V keighley could be a toss up and Bulls V London should be a good game given London's new signings.

[ivans82]

Trying to spot where this weeks shock results are going to come is as hard as ever....so wins for Sheffield ,Fev , Barrow , Bradford ,Batley , Swinton and Haven .

[Neutralfan7]

All home wins apart from Batley and Halifax

Potentially the game of the season so far at Fev. If they're fit, the return of Peyroux, Akauola and Belmas, plus the recent loan/DR additions of Silva and Chan, gives the Toulouse pack a totally different look, there aren't going to be fillers from Elite 1 this week unlike previously this season.

Two weeks ago I thought this would be a stroll for Fev but with 26 degrees forecast at kick off this looks like being an attritional contest.

I expect it to be tight for 20mins, but Fev should stroll through this as I don't think all those players you mentioned will be available.

I saw Killer's name on the squad sheet, is that his first game back? Since how long is it now? Lots of talk about retribution for the million pound game and I wonder what the ex TO players think of it all.

He's been in the squad the last couple of weeks, he didn't play against Barrow last week so would be surprising if he made his comeback in such an intensive game given how bad his injury was.

I think the ex TO players understand that the "revenge" thing is just part of promoting the game. That was the last time we played TO, in a cost of living crisis every game is a hard sell and after 13 unbeaten games it's worth reminding the Fev public that we lost both games to Toulouse  including the final, the last time we were in the same division.

Retribution? Where have you read/ heard that ? I haven't read or heard that about Retribution.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but if you're a season ticket holder at any Yorkshire club, you can get in to the Fev v Toulouse game for £15 on production of your ST.

  Good idea  as we are the only club playing  Sat.I wonder how many of our friends from Bradford will take up the offer.We should expect a crowd of 4500 plus.

There's been a couple of bits on the Rovers Twitter feed talking about retribution.

[Wolfey Rovers]

I believe they used redemption, not retribution! But both work I guess haha.

On certain twitter feeds. I don't take much notice of twitter though, it's not a very nice place at times. The official Rovers FB page talks of redemption which is a better word to use. I was trying to work out how many of those TO players who played in that last match will be playing in this one; Hansen, Peyroux, Jussaume, Marion, Bretherton and Guy Armitage. No Péllisier for this match.

I was gonna say zero, but I know a Ponte lad who got obsessed with the Dulls during the big foam hands era.  He's going.
