Jean will front up and give us his take on today's french capitulation. Love him or hate him I was keeping an eye on Fax game today and my first thought was how he would spin the double defeat today?

Re: Toulouse : Sun Jul 09, 2017 8:06 am  

Top performance from Fax who capitalised on a poor TO13 diplay. TO lacked any direction and some of Houles's team selection has to be seriously questioned. Is he really up to it at this level ?
I've never seen so many handling errors (I counted 16) most of which happened in their own 30 metres ! This put them on the backfoot for most of the gam with very little attacking force. Well done Fax and good luck v Fev & HKR.

Looking at the match day squad only 2 numbers missing from 17? At this stage of season I'd say that is as good as any team could hope for?

It's quite sad how many people wanted Toulouse to lose so they could have a pop at someone on an Internet message board that they've never met.

Nothing against Halifax, but I'm gutted Toulouse lost. Toulouse v Catalans in the Middle 8s would have been great viewing and great for French rugby league. Unless Toulouse pull off a shock in the next two weeks, I feel that's it for their chances now.

Hopefully they'll learn from this and come back stronger next season. Squad depth has been their undoing, especially in the halves.

As a Fax fan, I trust you understand why I don't share your views!

Toulouse still have a chance. Fax have a brutal end too and Toulouse have a superior PD. Plus might Fev be tempted to rest a few for their trip over to France.

I wanted Halifax to win as I quite like Halifax and I'm friends with Rob Worrincey's brother in law. Not to mention 4 ex Cas players plus 1 on loan.

I hope Fax get that 4th spot. I would rather travel to Fax than Toulouse, And hope we get Cats at home.

I doubt Fev will rest any, as long as they win today a win in France could get them the extra home game for finishing in the top 2. I still think Fax will get a result against KR though.

Edit: That should read if Fev win today and next week against Fax. If they lose to Fax then both results will be pretty much irrelevant as Fax will have the top 4 sewn up and they will be playing for 3rd and 4th.
