Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!

Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!

I wonder what the odds are on there being not one french team in Superleague next year?

Catalans are decidedly rubbish and Toulouse seem confident playing lower sides in France but seem to "poopie their panties" when faced with the trip across the channel. Sheffield are the bottom placed club and I expect them to be in a relegation battle this year......let's see if you go into Hibernation AGAIN next week when Leigh will hand them their french derrière's mon ami!


Come to think of it, the last time a French side crossed "le channel" with any confidence was 1066 IIRC :mrgreen:


You seem not to have noticed that Toulouse have been playing their first three rounds without two of their top players -- star playmaking demi d'ouverture Jonathan Ford, and former NRL pilier Samuel Rapira. When these two players are fit and on the pitch Toulouse should be almost unstoppable, at home or away.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

Barry mate. It's the same story with Catalans...they hire over the hill anzacs who are only there for the lucre and the lifestyle and Sam Rapira 2018 isn't the same bloke who ripped it up for the Warriors up to about 2010....he's the average one who was little more than average for the Giants who themselves finished in last pace in his first season and finished 8th the year after.....he started most games on the bench.
Ford is little more than a "pub" player......and that's doing some pub sides a disservice!

You have probably not seen Johnathan Ford play if that is your judgment of him. He is a top quality player.

We will see how much Johnathan Ford plays this year. At least Toulouse have bought cover in the form of William Barthau.

The team will perhaps need more the guts and skills of Samuel Rapira when it faces teams with strong packs of forwards, like Toronto, Leigh and Featherstone.

I foresee a repeat of last season for Tepid Toulouse, the top 4 beyond their reach due to abysmal away form

I stand by last weeks prediction, it’s more of the same from Turgid Toulouse, and the final result will see them below Toronto, London, Leigh, Fev and possibly Halifax come the end of July.

Barthau was star quality yesterday, he ran the show. Problem will be when Ford comes back for the Rochdale game, what will happen to Barthau ?

Will they drop Stanislaus Robin, or make him hooker?
