Depends where you look, elsewhere I said that Sheffield should win comfortably. 😂

Realistically it wasn't a game we were ever going to win.

I knew there must be somebody to blame for last nights result. 🤣

Liam Finn seems to think somebody was to blame throughout the 5 minutes and 54 seconds of what is a masterclass of the cryptic interview technique, but manages to avoid naming or even referring to whoever he thinks was responsible, it's as if someone is holding up a sign behind the cameraman saying "don't get yourself fined!" 🤣

Just making excuses for a discipline issue that has been a big problem at the club for 2 or 3 seasons now.

Just watching Toulouse vs Bulls. 
 

How Bulls aren’t down to 10 that second half I don’t know. 
 

Shoulder on kicker after ball - standard penalty…

 

Hip drop basically ending a Toulouse players game and leg in a bad way was a clear red. Ref completely missed it.

 

Taufua shot the line and put a shot on (no wrapping) and hit a player who didn’t even get the ball as it missed him - penalty. 
 

Super lenient officiating…bet Toulouse are rightly frustrated

Watching the TO v Bulls game...Bradford are doing some serious interference at the tackle/PTB, but the ref is oblivious.

I'm not sure they need to do it, but TO do maybe seem to be upping the pace now. (12-12).

According to the couple of Bradford fans in the bar behind me Bradford were playing against 14 today. You can't please some people can you! 

The hip drop against Shorrocks was dreadful. A couple of Bradford players celebrating when he got carried off was a bit distasteful. Some awful off the ball hits as well so I think on balance the two yellow cards were merited.

Nice to see Ryan Rivett nail the touchline conversion later on in Shorrocks' place though. Good job he did.

TO unlucky to get the draw but the way Bradford have been playing recently I would take that result. Bradford players out on the feet at the end so it was a tough game for both sides. Good job it was a cool day too.

Something has to give at Swinton. Reckon Widnes owe a performance to the fans after last week's poor showing.

General question about who is allowed on the pitch other than players. I know there are medics, and water carriers have blue tops. Who has the green shirt? Bald, chubby bloke from Bradford spent more time on the pitch than some of the TO forwards. Just wondering what job he has?

Great point for us. Toulouse were in red hot form and they looked full strength from what I could see. Fear it may have taken a lot out of us though and may have a score put on us next week. 

Think both sides have grievances with some decisions though. 

Taufua (who was a liability) should have seen a second yellow for his second late hit. Wouldn't have complained if it was red for two yellows for same offence. 

Toulouse should have had a man sin-binned for the head clash. Lehmann doesn't suddenly change direction and the rule all year has been head clashes where there's no sudden change of direction have been sin-bins for the defender. 

No idea how none of the officials missed Lilleys multiple knock-on prior to our first try. 

Scurr will cop a ban for the Shorrocks tackle. 

Not sure what Doro got sin-binned for, looked very innocuous but Ref had better view than me. 

Knee dropping into a players head when the on the ground, splitting their eye isn't "part of the game" ref and we should have had a penalty to win it late on. 

Thought it was a tough brutal game with both sides going at it and think both will take a point. Toulouse still the team to take second spot for mine.

That was The Game Caller, he is an amateur journalist and was probably trying to find out some "exclusive" gossip.

I think Doro just happened to be the next talked too. The ref had had enough and said next ones off. Probably minor and wrong place at wrong time. Too many stoppages for me in the game, too many niggles going on and the play stopped. TO were grateful for the sin bins as they scored both tries with players off the pitch. I don't think they would have done as well otherwise.

Probably the last one I will go to for a while, No1 son has moved on and there isn't as much pull to do the 6hr drive  round trip now especially with it on the telly.

Wakefield struggling to complete a set as per usual. Batley eventually make us pay.

6-6 30 minutes.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.
