Alright, roll call for our trip to the Deep South, who's joining me in Blagnac on Monday?

Does listening on the wireless count? Hope the weather's nice for you all.

Winning today takes the pressure off, a bit.

Chunnelling it tomorrow.

Very disappointed with today's team performance , mainly the lack of leadership, so hoping the young guns go better. I'm running out of patience with Abdull's selfish plays, and the persistence with playing down the middle with lack of grunt up front. All that speed on the flanks, and Blair twiddling his thumbs at 3rd receiver is baffling, although he did come inside in the final quarter and made a difference.

Fortunately, Toulouse suffered a heavy loss against the unfathomable Broncos in a bruising encounter which might lessen the 'daunting'. Rovers to scrape a narrow victory.

Abdul isn't the issue it's Ellis. Outplayed today by Thackeray. Ellis' kicking game is non existent. He dropped the ball cold twice, kicked out on the full then went missing.
Is he the new Kris Keating?

Absolutely spot on, this vendetta people have against Abdull because he's a Hull player is getting rather boring. Personally, I'm a massive fan of Abdull, hope he keeps progressing with us as he is.

Ellis, really disappointing today, flatters to deceive. If he comes to a game with out his kicking boots, he doesn't really have much else to offer imo. Hope he gets better and makes me eat my own words, but can't see it.

Funny how fans see things differently. I'd say Ellis has been the better of the 2 but both are fairly similar.Chisholm although in a losing side has looked far more dangerous and I agree Thackeray today seemed to have more nous.Think it's just that our forwards aren't laying the platform for our half's too dominate,which sounds strange as we have had such big scorelines. Fax and fev both had the best of our pack. The fact we have better fitness and few better individual has got us home. .so far..

We did out score them 6 tries to 3 so we can't have been that dominated as some are making out

Poor planning means I'm three or four (depending on how you count them) continents away.

You people's comments have been good for keeping up though, thanks.

"You people"?

How quickly people forget...

I'd say fax fev and Rochdale all more than matched us in forwards.not a problem result wise I'd agree and if ellis had a better day kicking yesterday it would have been more comfortable.

At this level all the teams seem to have a couple of decent ex SL forwards coming towards the end of there career that can still do a job we're going to get out muscled at some part of the game we beat a good Fev side with a lot out injured and without Addy and Donaldson during the game we need games like this

Lots of young players in the 19-man squad. Only Cockayne, Shaw and Clarkson with shirt numbers in the 1-13 range. Add in Abdull, as 6 is retired, I guess. Full house on the 20s.

Just seen squad news I feel imo tim sheens has given up on toulouse game and is expecting a defeat and is concentrating on leigh game

Many apologies, I of course meant "My people".

I know the reasons behind Sheens 19 man squad but it shouldn't have come to three of them (Harris, Moran & Jubb) making their Championship debuts all at once. For me there has been ample opportunity to drip feed these guys.

Couple this with four players returning from injury, two of them having not played since last season, then factor in two newby's in the spine (Harris & ZDC) and it all looks mishap, albeit injuries have contributed. For a coach who is meticulous with planning I am surprised (not concerned).

I've been 'clamouring' for Sheens to play the fringe players and for me it certainly makes tomorrows game a very interesting one. I have been impressed with Milton & Cator who I feel deserve more game time ahead of others. Harris at scrum half won't faze the lad; Jubb is a natural at dummy half, although I don't see Moran getting his chance tomorrow.

Toulouse also have injury & rotation concerns but for me the result doesn't matter with the 6pt cushion but I still expect a Rovers victory.
