Because of the English language ability in the interview. The Aussies are easier to understand by English viewers.

Final score : terrific Toulouse 32 - humdrum Halifax 22.

Should have been less points to Halifax given that Kuni Minga had grounded the ball before Halifax was awarded their last try.

Probably cos' he was MOM.
Last time I checked, Houles was French.

That is true.

Not seen the replay but looked like he just lost the ball!

Good performance by Halifax! Just lost to the better team. Couple of game changing moments for me was Tolouse player touching the ball before it went dead, should of been a drop out not a 20m restart (rank bad decision by the officials) and tangata looked to have the ball stolen in a 2 man tackle as we were piling on the pressure near the line (ref gave a knock on) then tolouse went to the other end of the pitch and scored.

How many Toulouse fans at Blackpool, I counted 8....amazing support !

Not far off Leigh's away support. I know Leigh struggle for away games, given ankle tags and all that but still, well done Toulouse

What I find amazing is you can count to 8, at least it shows the education system is working in the north west

Kept a low profile whilst Saints were getting well beaten.Suddenly back giving it large when an upturn in your clubs fortunes.

I think you will find he is Grammar School educated

We have been getting well beat all season. Show me evidence of me not posting when we were getting battered? If you can't? Thought not. Enjoy the semi pro league

That's rich coming from your dump hole

Dick, you have made a good point there. It was probably 6 not 8.

What for ? Beating a Halifax side, that looked crap, apart from Simon Grix & Rob Worrincy. King Nob !

Halifax looked crap because Toulouse made them look crap. Did that ever occur to you?

Toulouse would have had a bigger victory margin had their goal kicker Mark Kheirallah been on target.

Toulouse were missing several key players, including ace five eighth Jonathan Ford. Yet still they comfortably beat Halifax.

This shows what an excellent team Toulouse is, and how it deserves to be in Super League on talent alone.

Couldn't give a crap Chorley Jean, just responding to the 'personal insults'.

Are Toulouse now fully professional or still only 70%?

I genuinely came here to give TO some credit for the win on Sunday, a game in which Fax didn't "click" at all (bearing in mind we'd won 7 matches on the trot before this one).... However, your comments here make me wish that both TO and all other RL French teams implode and disappear into the primeval detritus that you deserve.

TO are nowhere near SL standard.

Your nasty wishes regarding all French clubs are totally uncalled for. If you don't like what I said then criticise me, not the French clubs.

Have you tried being gracious in victory and not antagonise fellow supporters?

Fax are certainly NOT a 'crap' team. The first game v TO they were unlucky not to take the points and the second they were beaten by the better team on the day. The final game in Toulouse will be another close one and TO13 will need to find a way to keep Worrincey quiet. This is the first time in two seasons they have had to face such a big, quick and strong winger and were pretty clueless on how to handle him at times.

Toulouse may be good (they only just squeezed by us at their place when we fielded our B team), but if Toulouse are in the Championship next season, Toronto might just rip them apart.

Reality check: Rover's aren't quite SL standard yet, and if we're not, Toulouse are way off.

There's no rush.

This is their first year in the Championship, they're competing well (they may not make top4, but they're right up there fighting for it), largely made up of French players, I think their usual home ground is undergoing developments. They're growing and improving, but SL is probably a bit too early.

We seem to be seeing a higher standard in the Championship, and with Toronto coming up and if Bradford manage to get a grip, 2018 could be a very competitive league.

With respect to all of the Championship clubs, none of them are of SL quality at the moment but, they dont need to be in order to compete week in week out in the Championship.
You'd have to expect all of the clubs from the Championship, involved in the Middle 8's, to tweak their squads, if they want to have a shot at getting promoted and further changes would still be needed in the close season to compete week in week out in SL, just ask Leigh.

At present, only KR are worthy of a spot in the top flight but, you would expect TO to be there or thereabouts and if they can strengthen their squad, who knows. However, with Widnes maybe starting to turn the corner, it looks as though Leigh may be the ones battling to retain their top flight status and the MPG will probably be KR vs Leigh.

Next season will far more testing.
Toronto will very likely be challenging from the off and they, of all clubs, seem prepared to spend huge sums, in their quest for SL.
This would put pressure on all clubs, especially if TO are in the mix as well.
There would be some huge air miles clocked up in the Middle 8's next season, especially if Catalan ended up in the mix.

Could both TO & Catalans in the Super 8s mean a possible 5 games in France for TO (& Cats) ?
