Big shame that. Really needed Bradford to contest the Final. Would have been a full house had they got through. 

Toulouse will send the team and support staff plus maybe a few close relatives tagging along but will still get an equal share of a 6k+ gate.

Not sure why you keep whingeing about this, Toulouse have been paying everyone's bed and board all season, like every season.

Bulls fail to reach the final every single year, so I'm not surprised at the result!

They've over achieved in 2024 because other teams around them have been poor over the season! We're a big club and deserve SL, blah blah blah!  

You need help my friend.

Just wanted what was best for Wakefield, believe in or not, and a full house with opposition fans on the western terrace would have made another cracking atmosphere. 

There's a whisper going round we might be forced (or even have been already) to switch our home tie from Sunday to Saturday to appease the French.

I thought Matt Ellis had sorted Wakefield's transport and accommodation out last July btw

Stop whinging bro. Just imagine if you were a London Broncos supporter, you would have more to complain about lol

Why should playing on a Sunday be problem for the French ?

Flights?

It's why they usually play on Saturday. Having said that, they played on a Friday last March because of winter flight schedules so who knows.

[Just Browny]

So 'appeasement' actually means scheduling it on a day so they can attend the game, rather than there being an imminent threat of the French invading Wakefield.

Absolutely. It sounds like the poster is wishing injury on players. Ridiculous comment. 

No it dosen't. It sounds like the poster wants bradford to get hammered which is a very reasonable wish to my way of thinking. A one point defeat for the iconic ones was, however, just as satisfying.

TO 14 Bradford 12 with about 15 minutes to go. Myers in the sin-bin.

What offence did Myers commit?

I'll guess at a tip tackle.

21.20 FT tool house go to Wakey

They wont like this result and RFL HQ, as if Tolouse beat Wakey they will be in Super League net season, but no doubt if they do win they will be working hard at RFL HQ to come up with a plan to try and stop Toulouse entering Super League

Late tackle I think, but my French really isn't good enough to be getting anywhere near 100% of the radio commentary.

I certainly dont want any player to get injured just Bradford to lose

I like Toulouse, there is potential there. But they If they don't go up then only themselves to blame IMO feels like they've tread water for the last couple of years. Hasn't felt like their attendances have increased, despite reasonable away followings. They haven't really invested in their squad since relegation. If they had beaten London last year Toulouse would have been certainties to have been in SL. 

Be interesting to see what happens if they don't get in SL this time. It's so hard to improve your score in the championship it wouldn't surprise me if they packed it in (again).

Nope, wanting one team to beat another is perfectly reasonable. Even wanting one team to thrash another is understandable. But using terms like "knock seven bells out of them" definitely implies physical pain/injury. Some people need to get a grip.
