I suspect that TO will give Rochdale a good hiding tomorrow. Fax beat them last weekend despite playing dismally - our ball retention in particular was awful. Whatever the score, I wouldn't take the game tomorrow as an indication of how well TO will fare come the end of the season.



Fax have some serious team dynamics to resolve (between experienced but ageing pro's, up and coming reserves, and a smattering of loan & DR players) but the clash with TO on 23rd March could be a better measure of how both teams are shaping up.

He is 17.

That's exactly how it will be Sparky, you can only play what's in front of you but the performance against Swinton was pretty poor as was the first half against Sheffield. Ford is very much an on-field motivator, more than any other player so I expect better discipline against Hornets. If TO get off to a quick start this could be a cricket score but if Kilshaw tries to slow the game down as in previous metings it could be a lot closer.

Only a matter of hours before kickoff and I still don't know what Sylvaiin Houles has decided between the three great halves that Toulouse now has.

But surely he's asked your advice on this matter, Jean?

Are Toulouse games shown live online anywhere?

Don't think so.



Weather great with sunshine and 17°C 90 mins before ko.

Isn't France a wonderful country to spend the winter in?

In the south of France we have no "Beast from the East."

In Chorley we have Maureen who hangs her washing out in the nip!

Toulouse 24 Rochdale 6 as we approach half time.



I am surprised that a side like Rochdale, that can boast the presence of the Adamson brothers and Billy Brickhill, cannot do better.



Toulouse are coasting. 34-6 at half time.

Toulouse 34 - Rochdale 6. Half Time.

Just the beast from Chorley

Full time: Toulouse 54 -- Rochdale 6.



Pity that Mark Kheirallah could not convert more tries. Toulouse could have got to 60.



Anyway ten tries to one is not a bad day at the office. French national half William Barthau got two tries.



What a brilliant team!

We will find out at the end of the season jean long time yet

Indeed...they have now beaten the sides sitting 12th, 11th, 10th and 9th......and when faced with a top 4 contender they got their 'arrises" handed to them.......late March and early April will sort the men from the boys.

And an amazing attendance of 1,548....SOOPER LEAGUE here they come !

That was roughly the crowd level Catalans was getting before its promotion to Super League -- at which point crowds rocketed up to an average of over 8,000.



People are attracted by a fully professional competition, not by a semi-pro competition.

You can blame away fans

Read the post above yours before you try to be funny.

Super league always has bigger crowds, Toulouse and Catalan away games are a great weekend break, or like me and others have included the game in France whilst sunning it up in Spain



So, not really a funny reply.

crap reply

The official attendance was 1747.

Great score. Toulouse are coasting that league and have as many home fans as the likes of Salford and hudds
