| Quote ="Nozzy"Leigh 19 man squad:
Worthington, Higson, Kay, Ridyard, Weston, Spencer, Pownall, Paterson, Maitua, Acton, Higham, Emmitt, Hopkins, Hock, Armstrong, Foster, Harper, Reynolds, Whiting
=#00BF00No Lee Smith in the team. Must be injured? Pownall back after a few weeks out injured so I guess he will be playing at Full Back.
Still no Moimoi, Hansen, Chase or Tonga.
No =#40BF00Liam Hood, Lewis Foster back into the 19.
Whiting must have been given the all clear to play in the Cup matches now he is staying for the rest of the year which is a nice bonus!
I'd go with:
Pownall
Higson
Worthington
Armstrong
Kay
Ridyard
Reynolds
Emmitt
Higham
Weston
Hock
Maitua
Paterson
Bench:
Foster
Hopkins
Acton
Whiting'"
No passports,or do they need em?

I agree the aggressive defence of our forwards is something the Toulouse players will not have experienced so far. They have been scoring from very early on in matches and stopping this is crucial to put them off their stride. This will be a very tough match and I think the score will be very close.

| They struggled against WB Hornets in heavy going only 20-14 with 10 mins to go. Besides the quick full back and wingers they have 3 French and Tonga internationals. TO were showing video clips of Leigh players all week including Gaz giving Bentley a bit of extra attention at PTB in World Cup. Their Twitter feed will be giving a running report @TOXIII
There's a translate option on each entry but you have to open each one.
On radio manc last night Derek said only had 18 fit due to a bug.

| The facts:
1. Toulouse have had one game in 3 weeks against a weak side, Scorpions. Fitness will be an issue.
2. All their games have been against weak sides, and they have only had 5 games so far, Wath Brow, Coventry, Hemel , Scorpions and Gloucester, who put 28 points on them in the previous round. Defence only tested once by Glos. This time around they are not prepared - they haven't even played better League 1 sides like Rochdale, Barrow, Keighly and York yet - to see how they scrub up.
3. Toulouse loose concentration for phases and have not demonstrated fightback ability. Good sides like Leigh will punish that.
4. This side has the 2nd best French players in France, next to Catalans. They thumped Catalans reserves in previous years, always; and Warrington last year [ semi reserves - but they had form being in the French Elite with strong opponents [ low Championship standard like Lezignan, Carcassonne etc. Form has not been tested this season.
5. If they were fit and match hardened, then i would expect there to be a 20 point difference in favor of Leigh. With form going in, they are likely mid Championship standard. But they are not at this moment.
4. Leigh do not need to break out a sweat - even when they go behind, they are a crack outfit and have proven they do not know how to loose at this level.
I predict an open game, the boys get the turn up time wrong with time difference, they have a hangover from drinking too much red the night before, the boys throw handbags and 5 are sent off - down to 8, the ref is paid by an Indian bookmaker to disallow all Leigh tries.
Weather is cloudy with occassional showers. Perfect temperature in the evening. Conditions perfect.
Easy, easy. Enjoy the wine and hospitality guys.

| Well Tipster Ste will be suicidal! His challenge cup "tip" looks even further away.
Personally, glad the distraction of the challenge cup is out of the way. Getting to the quarters last year didn't help us in the middle 8's.
Expect the usual Fev/Fax trolls to take delight in Tipsters misery over the next 24hrs

The loss today can be blamed on this poster and nobody else. It was destiny from the time he hit the 'post' button until the final whistle. This is a serious lesson Leigh fans. If any one of you ever posts a wall of text stating the ease with which victory will be accomplished, delete it immediately.

| Without being there & knowing the facts it is nigh on impossible to decipher what went wrong.
The best *guess* I have is that the squad were just not up for it or at the races.
Surely our expensively assembled squad of ex SL & NRL squad 'should' have tucked Toulouse up in bed, patted them on the head with a "night - night, sleep tight".
I don't buy into the we went to Toulouse to lose idea at all, although I do believe that in the long run we will benefit from being out of the CC, especially where the possibility of injuries & fatigue are factored in.
I suppose only the likes of Frank 1 & others who have travelled can paint a clearer picture.
