Wire to field a young team in prep for the play offs. Toulouse will want to go out with a bang on the last game of their season. Toulouse for the win. By how many, who knows.

[StandOffHalf]

Would be great to see TO sign off for 26 with a bang.

[Thunder Road]

Warrington by 12

As a wire I hope you're wrong,  but they and York have been success stories when you consider the central funding shortfall,  but TO have succeeded with mostly the same squad and same brand of rugby.

Another game where motivation and teams resting players make it hard to predict, high scorer that could go either way

Good post, Elbowseye.  TOXIII have also had the crippling burden of 24 cross-channel flights to fund, just so each English club had none to pay for!

Hoping taylor-Wray gets a run out, a season that started with a bang fizzled out very quickly due to injuries, we could do with him being fit for the play offs to keep the opposition on their toes, he'll make a massive difference to our attack

12 home grown players in the 17 includes CTW, decimated the reserves in their final tomorrow as most of them would have been playing. 

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Nice run by TOXIII

[Wilderspoolmemories]

A great performance by the young wire players they really took the game to Toulouse in the second half. The future is bright for Warrington if we can hang on to them all.

I thought we were excellent. Very enjoyable seeing the enthusiasm and no lack of skill beat a tough and physical team. Really enjoyed that and I wasnt expecting to.

[Just Browny]

As pleasing as any win this year, as well as some skilful young players we have got some physical ones too.

[ELBOWSEYE]

Nice to see lyndon returning with a good performance in attack and defence, still only 20, Mcler looks a prospect, plays aggressively.  I know this season is still ongoing but the club are building a strong squad with very good foundations.

Not sure "tackle" is the right word!

It didn't look like a tackle to me either. No attempt at tackling and direct contact to the head. I think Tropis was very lucky to be honest. 

Last game of the season so I doubt anyone will be interested if he gets a ban or not. 

Toulouse turned up at least for the last match even though 8th was secured already, bar an almighty Wigan brainfrt.

Missed the game but seen this clip, to me that’s a penalty try and a red card.

Was a penalty try given?

A penalty try would be a brave call there Phil.

The ball carrier was over his own line.

Aye, it was posted on fox league socials and an awful lot of Aussies made the same mistake
