These tough hard fought wins are what Toulouse need at this stage I think. Not sure about the repositioning of Minga & Maurel but isn't Bentley the regular loose forward, I can't remember him playing prop?

Anthony Marion played most of last season at loose forward, even before Andrew had his injury. Marion played at hooker yesterday with Kriouache as sub which is strange when Kane Bentley wasn't selected.

Yep, TO need to 'tough it out' on such days but putting Minga at right centre and Maurel at left wing when Ader and Maurel have been rock solid on the right is a mystery. Ok, losing both White and Curran left side is a loss but taking Minga away from the left was suicidal (again, imo)

What is the injury situation now?

Greg White, shoulder problem and out for two weeks. Con Mika thigh problem I beieve and out for six weeks. Kane Bentley rested for the Swinton game but played today for the Broncos. Curran and Marguerite suspended for one more match I believe.
Houles announced that the CC is low priority this season so I suppose the bigger names will be rested.

Not sure if he holds the record for the second tier but Neil Turley got something like 53 tries (it was definitely at least 50) for Leigh in the second tier a few years back.

55 tries in his debut season by all accounts. Not sure how many games that covered but his overall career record was 132 tries in 122 games. Pretty impressive even if most of those games were played in the Championship.

Currently tied 7 a piece with Andrew Heffernan.

Very similar to Brierley's 133 in 125 for Leigh. Dunno what his best-season tally was though.

Didn't Yere score a boatload for Sheffield one season, like 40+? (Just read Wikipedia, says he soced 46 tries in the 2013 season).

FT: TOULOUSE 16 BATLEY 34 !!!

The Bulldogs blitz owd cappy pooz boys

. C'mon cappy, where's your excuses for this?





Yer better off watching a team like Leigh,and getting value for money.

Are you 12?

Yes.........And?

was it raining

No, but Toulouse rested half their team for this one. Apart from the important players who were injured or suspended (esp Constantine Mika and Rhys Curran) they rested goal kicking full back Mark Kheirallah, star halves Jonathan Ford and Stanislas Robin, loose forward Andrew Bentley, and second rower and captain Sebastien Planas, among others. They played without more than half their regular team. Toulouse were concerned with not risking injuries in a competition that they cannot win at this stage of their development. Better that they preserve their resources for a Championship top four position and a place in the Middle eights. Wise move.

So just their French team then , still a loss , at home too

toulouse had as much chance of winning the cup as leigh do

im sure they have bigger a priority this season

As do MOST other teams....

Can anyone translate this for those of us that don't understand btec English.

Batley had 5 or 6 missing too including Castleford duo star half back Thomas "Sherlock" Holmes and barnstorming prop William Maher.
