Massive result for Swinton at Widnes, didn't see that coming after last 2 weeks and Widnes stuffed us first two times we played them this year. Seems that there is still some fight in there after all.

It must be hard work supporting some of these teams, but for unpredictability and entertainment value the Championship delivers every week. And while we give Keighley stick every week - mostly ju

York gave it a good go today and the score didn't reflect the game.

Think there will be some upsets this week.....

For instance, London away at Batley is the sort of game that London agaisn't all odds win (then lose to Haven at home week after)

Eagles 40 Thunder 0

Eagles never got out of second gear and won comfortably even without Thackeray. Newcastle will go down and it doesn't look good for Keighley if Newcastle beat them.

3 in the bin after a bit of handbags in the second half was the most exciting part of a one-sided game.

Nice to see Titus Gwaze playing again after a Newcastle player broke his jaw in the retrun fixture.

After beating Fev away and Halifax, Sheffield and Bradford at home it's fair to say that Toulouse are back.

Even when Toulouse were getting beat away from home I said they would come back. I stand by what I said. Would love fev to go up but I think Toulouse is nailed on

Brad England will be getting a few games rest after that red card today!

Harrison Hansen won't be available next week against Widnes as he got knocked out today, just after a Bulls player got carried off which looked like a bad knee injury.

It was hot! Literally and figuratively.

Glad to see Ben Laguerre back and scoring within 3 minutes. First game back since the 1st day of the season.

Yes they seem to have got their act together. Some good players there. We need to finish top to give ourselves the best chance.

Odd game. The first 20 minutes we were in it, and competitive, which was basically all I was after. We lost 2 middles to injury in the first half which basically meant we’d be gassed in the last 20 minutes. Then we decided to give Toulouse a man advantage as well, through stupidity so Toulouse put 30 points on in those last 20 and said merci.

Toulouse are a very good team when they have their first choice players in but maybe just lack a little bit of strength in depth although they do seem to be adding to the squad. When I saw them at Fev a couple of weeks ago they were very good and although Toulouse won I thought there wasn’t a lot between the sides and should make for an interesting end to the season.

Weird game that. We absolutely dominated them in the forwards. We just couldn't turn any of it into points. Think they only reached our 20 6 times and scored every time.

I notice somebody has reacted with the laughing emoji to this post, but it's an absolutely accurate depiction of what happened. Fev really did dominate up the middle but lacked any sort of cutting edge inside the Toulouse 20m, whereas Toulouse didn't get much good ball but made hay moving the ball out wide.

I haven't seen any Fev fan who didn't think Toulouse deserved to win, they defended superbly and were far more incisive when they moved the ball around. It was as David Shepherd says a very strange game to watch, as I said on here at the time it's a shame it wasn't viewable to a wider public, though it's available for, I think £5, via the pay-for channel at https://watch.recast.tv/
