Gale is 36 and Kay 32, one not a half and with no idea on how long lino is going to be out for, we should be looking at a half imo. I really dont want us to be playing gale week in week out, him picking up knocks could harm us come the business end of the season.

I'd imagine Lawford would be rotating with Gale, to keep him fresh but with Lawford injured thats mnot happening.

In fairness to Kaye, he is not an half but being asked to fill in. His defence is good, but with ball in hand not so good.. Last week at BradforId remember at least 4 passes to no one and two could have lead to opposition trys

As a junior and academy he was a 1/2, moved to wing and full back which is where he's played most of the time since, but has shown he's an effective 1/2 stand off, hooker and loose foward. Better him there than Max moving from Fullback

If the agreement is that Toulouse pay for a "basic" package then, anything else is our choice and therefore, we would be liable for the cost.

Yes I know his history, but that doesn't alter the fact in attack he looks poor. I will say again, not his fault he is doing the job being asked to do. However far from an ideal solution in my opinion, but alternatives are limited at the moment.

Don't see anything wrong with that tbh.....

The only thing that could be wrong is if we wanted to book better flights and our own accommodation but they refused to contribute anything amounting to what the basic cost would have been for flights. In effect paying nothing because we had booked flights not them. Hard to judge when you don’t have all the details.

I’m sure it will get ironed out between both.

We should be allowed the basic money to then put towards to upgrade our flights but this hasn't been done

Perhaps they feel a bit aggrieved about paying us the airfair whilst we are signing Internationals on 4 years deals. I can understand why. It's a ludicrous demand upon rival clubs. For Catalans it's even worse as they are not competing against semi professional clubs.

Ludicrous or not it’s an agreement.

I can see Toulouse booking same day flights with unreasonable times and a long day but cheap (I would do that if I were Toulouse for an advantage). But if clubs like us wish to prepare better (as would SL clubs) then they should be able to make up the difference and still receive the payment that would be marked for the basic travel.

Again though despite what people say we don’t know the full details and we likely won’t. An agreement will be made I’d imagine with or without RFL involvement.

Down in Toulouse tonight
Friday forecast to be 37 so should be a warm one on Saturday

Temperature forecast to drop slightly on Saturday....only 31 degrees https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2972315

Exactly it's a contract. Perhaps the wording of thr contract allows toulouse to get away with this. My guess it will be changed next season if that's the case.

From Ryan air economy to private jet, welcome to the famous Wakefield Trinity.

I bet the players that were here under the previous regime keep trying to wake themselves up..

Aye just seen the private jet. Class that.

I kinda find this whole debate rather funny, if we were going last season we would have borrowed a couple of dinghys and floated to france.

Lol. I hope they weren't joking.

I've zoomed it in. It's Ashurst.
