Why would your average BRITISH rugby league fan be pleased that Toulouse have gained promotion ? Unlucky Barrow...
Don't worry, they won't last long. Give them two seasons max in the Championship and they will throw in the towel until the next assault a few years down the lne. I suppose the TO haters will return with venom once they struggle against the heartland boys ? Do you all resent London , Oxford etc also or is nationwide expansion ok ?
And we won't even mention Toronto...
Rochdale are simply not up to standard if their game against Toulouse is anything to go by.
Have a look at the tapes. The time wasting tactics from Rochdale would have had them receive far more yellow cards from a suitably experienced ref. Toulouse would have won by another 20 points. On top of that Toulouse did not play well either. If they had been on form with a decent ref the game would have been a 40 point margin.
Barrow are a way better side. It will be interesting to see how better refs deal with Rochdale in the Championship if Kilshaw keeps his style. Hat's off to Kilshaw - he got the result. But now my respect.
Barrow have my respect and they should have gone up with Toulouse based on form and skill.
I think this was the season to win promotion cos' next season will be a lot tougher with the three Cumbrian sides plus Toronto and the other hopefuls like Donny, Cougars, hopefully York and Hunslet. There will be some cracking games between that lot.
Barrow would have been my favourites but they will be losing some good players next season and will need to recruit well to compete I feel.
