Yeah I'll be annoyed if we continue with that when it's never really worked and Race has been going well at Crusaders and Jowitts never really let anyone down. |

Race has been recalled for a reason I assume. Not just to make numbers up

Isn’t Gledhill covering the Magic Weekend? So does that mean there won’t be commentary on the match?

Could just be to make up the numbers. We've only a 20 man squad. |

Welp. I wish they'd called it off now. What was the benefit of playing it with a makeshift team anyway?

I fear for players safety with referees like Hewer. Shocking refereeing performance. Thank goodness he is retiring.

Do Toulouse have dispensation from the RFL about the number of games they've played and entering the playoffs? To qualify for the playoffs a team must have completed a minimum of 16 games (out of 22). Toulouse have played 13 and have 2 games remaining.

Yes they do. Toulouse will finish top going into the playoffs and watching that game today all I can say is wow. Toulouse are streets ahead of anyone in this division.
We will not be their toughest opposition but they never looked stretched once in that game. Absolute walk in the park for them today and they were very good for their win. |

Quite rightly they have been given dispension
It's not their fault that none of the part-time teams in this league couldn't / wouldn't go over and play in Toulouse (we were, of course, one of them) |

To say we got a pasting I really enjoyed the game, we never gave up, Toulouse played scintillating stuff and the sun was out....
I don't think that team would finish in the bottom three in SL

I thought yesterday was weird. Approx 3k Bradford fans and almost no Toulouse supporters apart from players families watched a team of at least 8 non-French players outclass a team of predominantly local players (with a few Lancashire).
Toulouse are a good side who will get promoted heralded by articles like this:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/ ... r-audience
It is Orwellian. At odds with any reality. Catalans played at Salford to 1800. TV deals are falling. Crowds dwindling. Did a small group of French ex-pats, perhaps in University departments across the region go the game yesterday? Was there 20/30 young urbane types clapping the Toulouse tries? NO. There is simply no evidence - a whiff of kool aid.
That a 'nouvea' (see what I did there) wealthy architect of the modern game now owns the Bulls and is ultimately responsible for the quality of our squad just felt surreal. And unpalatable. Before we even talk about how that happened. |

Mission accomplished then:
* Played game (which didn't have to play because we didn't have enough players)
* Ensure we play away from home
* Get absolutely mullered
* Lose key players to injury
Great success.

How have we ensure we play away from home? We are 4th atm that’s the home tie? |

When the squad was announced the result was kind of inevitable. Well done to the team for never giving up. Bad to lose Pickersgill, typical that this happens but it could happen in any game and despite the gripes about us playing at all I think we should fulfil fixtures if at all possible. Just because other clubs are allegedly gaming the system doesn't mean we should.

I don't care that we got soundly beaten by the top team in the division.
The idea of a rugby club is to play rugby whether we are going to win or lose. It doesn't matter that we had the chance to duck out of the match on technical grounds. How long would those young players that filled in stay with the club if they knew we would avoid playing a match rather than put them in the team?
Frankly, I am really enjoying this season. Winning more than we lose and with a good number of home-grown players. I'm glad we didn't get the last-minute place in Super-Dooper League.

Great support play.
