I can't wait for this game, it should be a cracker. We'll need to be on top form, with those crucial refereeing decisions going our way, but this is a game we can and must win. There won't be a lot in it but, with home advantage, I'll go for Fax 24v14 Toulouse. Up The Fax!

Difficult to predict the Toulouse mindset for this one but we must be on it and take the points.

fair to say im bricking this one.

Not particularly confident when it comes to beating Toulouse

No doubt a real tough one, but if we are going to make more of a fist of the qualifiers this time round (if we get in) then Toulouse would be our main target for a win. It's all very well qualifying but last year it got fairly depressing at the end when we got whitewashed. Hopefully Toulouse will view this game as "unnecessarily too intense" for them when they can sew it up against Dewsbury, so they might rest a couple of key players.

There is no chance what so ever that Toulouse will not be wanting the 2 points from this game and they are a dangerous side with threats all over the park.
Against that Fax have a good defence and are hard to break down and Toulouse can be rattled if the opposition get stuck into them and ask some questions of their defence.
Fax know it’s win or bust and will be throwing everything in including the proverbial kitchen sink.
It will come down to who is the best team on the day and in a cracking close game I will go for Fax by 1 score.

Exactly what faxcar said. Toulouse still need to win because if they don't they are in danger of missing out if results don't go their way

I like 'Fax - they are a similar club to us, in my opinion. However, I will, for the one and only time, be rooting for a Toulouse victory this weekend. Sorry, guys!

Tough game this I think Toulouse are better than London and we lost to them didn't we albeit away not at home.
They will be going for the win which will secure their top 4 place lets not kid ourselves, we need to be really on it and play like we did against Fev, nervous but we can do it come on lads we will be right behind you.

I echo that Alan & add that I love a trip to Fax, always found Fax fans very welcoming & easy to have banter with at Fax, Leigh & Blackpool & genuinely want Fax to rise to be a force again =#FF0000but after Leigh have done it !

*Not been here for a while*

Good luck for 2019 Fax fans "all in the best possible taste" as Kenny Everett famously said !

We have lost1 league game all year at home to Torronto that's it so Toulouse are not going to make it 2 fax to win 24 12 but tbf I thought we would turn London over.

It was a great effort by Fax at London who have a distinct advantage on that artificial pitch of theirs. Only team to beat Toronto this year ……………. London on that pitch, and they racked up nearly 50.

I'm not saying that Toulouse "will not want to win" against Fax, of course they will, but it's not a "must win" game for them like it is for us. They could lose but still wrap up 2nd at home against Dewsbury. What I'm saying is when it gets to the last 20 mins and there might be only one score in it, Fax will most likely be playing as though their lives depend on winning, but Toulouse won't. Very much like the end of last season when we took advantage of Fev's and Hull KR's "lack of urgency". Still a very tough match tho'!!!

Having just watched a video of the ghost 'try' v Toulouse last year it presses home the need for decent officials. That was never a try and cost us two points as did the try from the forward pass at London. In both cases the linesman/ref were in perfect positions to see the action! We must also be wary of that big long half-back, Ford I think. He's a class act and will need watching but so will ours! Up The Fax! The Pressed Shuttle, Pudsey. Leeds Solstice 3.5% Mmm!

I've just watched the Barrow v Toulouse tries …………. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhqj6wH ... e=youtu.be ………. and even though I know Barrow have their problems, that must be the worst defensive display I've seen for a long time. Some of the tries Barrow conceded were "appalling". Let's hope that weak "preparation" has done Toulouse no favours.

We need to start well and score first, too much of this chasing the game, we get in front and our defence turns up the pressure I think we will bring the win home. Slow start and we could be done for.

Up the Fax!

And 2 really poor decisions by the Ref 1st half grady pulled back going for the ball @ 2nd half London player dropped a high kick ball picked by a player in an offside position not saying they cost us the game but a so called top official should not be making errors like that

If we can keep Ford aka Gaskell quiet and also their fullback Mark Kheirallah we will have a good chance. Kicking game got to be better so hopefully Murrell on form. The officials will favor on the side of Toulouse so any 50 50 likely to go their way. Going for a close win.

Refs might make mistakes, and they're only human and some players might rub them up the wrong way, but they don't "favour" any teams. It's possible that they're sometimes swayed by the crowd to think about offsides etc., but that obviously won't apply to TO tomorrow.

We need a fast start to both halves, but discipline will win this for us both with and without the ball. No silly penalties, and high completion rate so we can control the game.

Very little in the 2 sides, so it will be a very close game, I'm going for a Fax win, Fax 28 v Toulouse 26,though I'm hoping for a Toulouse win,you can't always get what you want,





good title for a song there.

Struggling to call this one . Ford causes teams problems and we need to watch him and runners either side of him. Think the crowd might just win this one for us. The players will need their game heads well and truly on for this one-watching numbers will be very important . Disappointed Williams got in last week because we knew before the match he's the go to man . Probably need something in team selection to unsettle their preparations theorise they have the last 2 videos to work on and no surprises.

Fax by 4

Toulouse's star forward Rhys Curran has been suspended for 4 matches and I understand that will include the Fax match.

Just need Kheirallah and Ford to bump into one another in the warm up, nothing too serious, just enough to rule them out for a couple of days or even a couple of hours.

he's not in their squad while we run with same 19.Fleming missed the cut last week,not sure that was a good call but expect him in on Sunday.

Haha! If only. I believe we'll be reight if we play to our strengths. Aye, we'll need decent officials, the bounce of the ball etc, but stay disciplined and play as we can and hopefully we're good enough at The Shay to beat Toulouse. Up The Fax!

I'd have Ben Heaton in there too.
