Was his name Martin Hall

Gotta laugh at that. Well done Starbug.

No the guy was too good looking for Martin, on the other hand the monkey

...........

MC obviously hasnt decided what his best team is yet and so is still experimenting but for me we cant afford the luxury of having three half backs in the team so he needs to go with his best two which are Black and Holly. Same goes for the forwards, some players just cant cut it and others are having to carry them so if someone isnt performing it should see them in the 23`s or not playing at all until they see an improvement in form.

Going to be a very tough game up Haven if we go with the same pack.

12 out of the 17 yesterday is that good or bad ?

I was just going off your ' report ' , there didn't seem any mention of anybody ' French ' ?

Aah its one game FFS! How fast we forget the start we made last year! In calland we trust

Agreed, hopefully the experimenting can stop soon though and we can start to have a team that has a bit of consistency about it and thus you would expect for better more consistent team performances! It's always disappointing getting off to a poor start but better to have these problems to iron out now at the early stages of the season rather than towards the end though. We always improve as the season goes on, as the weather and grounds get better so despite being obviously disappointed with the result, I'll remain positive about the rest of the season!

quoting the official team list the 12 were :

Biennes,Olari,Ormeno,Planas,White ( mum is french), Gout,Maria, Tisseyre, Ansleme,Larroyer & Faure

is that good or bad ?

Your ' report ' suggested that the players with ' English ' names were the stand out players for Toulouse , I was just checking that there were actually some real genuine French players on the pitch

no bad performances but Craig Cook stood out at hooker and Nicholls was influential though ALL the lads did well - the unsung heros are Faure,Tisseyre,Gout,Planas,Olari,Maria,White (who saved two tries) etc etc but never get the praise despite putting in their shifts - it's the same with all teams i'm sure ?

I will answer the question for you. Its good

just seen the attendance for the blockbuster at The South Leeds Stadium = 606 !!! now that's what I call impressive for a championship match ! Probably didn't even cover the costs of the electricity for the floodlights !
Even the weakest LER teams get more than that ! ASC v Limoux attracted 7000 the other week !

Mount Pleasant was a bit better with 1400ish though...

Is Olari Russian or something? Remember there was somebody a few years back called Olari who played in France but was Russian born

Niet mate - mind you,i'll try a few words in russian at the next home match and see if he responds,ok ?



what's "you're like a fookin' donkey Olari" in russian ?

You're любит fookin' осел Olari"

danker shoen amigo

606 is nearly twice what they got against Workington (379), how they can run a club and hire the stadium with those figures I'll never know.

that's incredible ! how on earth can they justify a place in the Championship?

[size=150606 is disgraceful for a championship game in the M62 corridor[/size

is it not ?

True, but how are they meant to attract new fans?

Halifax target the kids, go into schools, have a child friendly mascot (Halicat) ect, same as many other clubs. But Hunslet is a small part of Leeds, a city home to one of the most successful RL sides of the past how many years? So when Kids decide they want to watch some RL, its obvious they're going to want to go and watch the Rhinos.

They justified their place in this league by winning their respective division and earned promotion. Unlike other teams in this division.

They were accepted into this division because they were the best team in the French leagues. No simple achievement. Although I agree that they should have been made to go through Champ 1.

My comment was not aimed at Toulouse just aimed at the flippant comment from the Toulouse fan about the justification of one team in this division over another.

They'll probably fetch more away fans to games than the combined French contingent put together.
