Well we have to move on from a very frustrating summer bash to our game in France on saturday. There will be some changes from the bash with Kavanagh and fairbank missing and will we make a change in the halfs. There is some players who need a kick up the backside so selection will be interesting. Toulouse were very poor in their defeat to London but have been a lot stronger at home then away and need a win just like us. Score wise i will go for 16-20 to fax in hopefully a much improved performance.

Considering we have a coach the worst pack since 1962 a board of directors no money no fans and are the general epitome of a massive pile of dog I can only see a 100 -0 defeat .

@LISTENUP94,every one is entitled to their opinion, however for remarks trike that you should be sine die from this forum,

Can only see a hiding in the sultry twilight of Toulouse; 42-10

Fortunately you’re not in charge so I’ll be staying, after all everyone’s entitled to an opinion.

Tough to see us winning, we have gone to far easier places than Toulouse and struggled and this despite them having about 20 players missing. A win though would be huge in the way of league standings and could put Toulouse under real pressure of missing out unless they see a turn in fortunes. A loss for us given everyone around us should win their games puts us under the pressure of the same though and probably realistically makes 2nd unlikely. This team starting to remind me of the 2010 one though so I expect nothing but promotion to SL come the end of the season despite us all moaning about how average we have been for most of the year.

Has anything been said about exactly what injury Keyes has and how long he is expected to be out?

This is not from the club so who knows but i was told at the bash he would be out for 12 weeks with a torn pec. And that we have been trying to get a halfback in on loan to cover Joes absence.

Was told by a great source that he is done for the season.

End of season games are all that really matter but failing consistently to handle a team that can only muster 5 trundles and a semi challenging kick doesn’t bode well at this stage of season..

Another one that got away it seems. It's okay saying tremendous effort on the twitter commentary but we need to put that game to bed if we are serious contenders. Toulouse did exactly what they were expected to do and we couldn't repel i.e strong start to both halfs. The usual unforced errors gifting tries and field position. Errors are part of the game but given Batley scored on 3 of the 4 occasions we made errors and by my count Toulouse at least 3 of 5 on the back of errors. As long as you can outscore the opposition then make the errors but I don't see that with us. Probably be out of the 6 tomorrow with Widnes likely to beat London. Really starting to wonder why we signed Pickersgill if he is going to persist with WBH @ FB. He's come to us to be in the exact situation he was at Fev.

How long is grix contracted for?

About a week if we lose to Swinton.

Least we didn’t lose to Whitehaven at home , a couple of results have gone our way and obviously a group of teams are gonna be battling for the playoffs . Obviously can’t comment on the game as I haven’t seen it yet , still a fair way to go but we need to start winning some games .

I am starting to lose patience with our league form. What we have produced this season in the league as been poor and can not be covered up by a good cup run. We was 10-0 down in the first 10 minutes but we came back to be in front 10-18 at the break and i thought we was in control at that point and in with a good chance of winning. Then like as been said error after error just throws all that good work away and another 2 points to boot. Unless you have a very good defence and show a real steel to cover these mistake it will cost you dear which it as us with the amount of games we have lost. I could be and hope i am wrong but i do not see this getting better and the board could do with making some sort of midseason statement as to how they see the season so far and what they are going to do to improve things on the pitch, Having said that i will keep supporting the team and will be at Swinton on sunday but that does not mean i do not share others concerns with how we are playing.

So now Toulouse turn over Fev. Don`t you just love the championship. Lets hope Fax do not come a cropper at Swinton. Unfortunately can`t make it to the game as family here tomorrow.
