| Quote Alan="Alan"OK, a good win, against a 'less fancied' team. Let's see how well they travel - after all, they are now the team that faces the longest away journeys. (unless they can find a long term training base in Greater Manchester, and arrange to play all their away matches there, in successive weeks - as well as some of their home ones!

| Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Terrific Toulouse have got their season off to a great start with a 46-14 demolition of swindling Swinton. Despite being without two of their stars -- playmaker five eighth Jonathon Ford and fiery prop Sam Rapira who were both injured -- the French team scored nine tries to two. The team was also without the services of newly signed prop, former South Sydney and USA international Eddy Pettybourne. New signing, half William Barthau, scored three tries in today's outing.
Toulouse had also shed their star winger Kuni Minga, for chronic disciplinary infractions, before the season began. But it seems that they have found a good wing replacement in Frenchman Paul Marcon.
It appears that Toulouse will be red hot contenders for a top four place in the Championship this season'"
Let's see what the result is next weekend against Featherstone. A positive result then, and it may well suggest a top 4 finish for Toulouse is likely.
And please stop bleating about missing players. This happens to all teams, all of the time.
In terms of being "red hot contenders" for a top four place, they're probably slight favourites to sneak in the 4th spot behind Leigh, Toronto and Fev. |

Sparky, let's hope Fax can put something together and grab a top 4 spot with Leigh,Pack and Fev. |

Really pleased for you Jean, it's nice to see your hopes for a more global competition are going to plan.
However, shouldn't the thread title read, Toulouse return to top form?
Unless of course you're referring to Toulouse-Lautrec.

It depends on whether you consider the noun "Toulouse" to be singular or plural. I assumed singular, you are suggesting plural. There is no definitive answer to the question as far as I am aware. |

Barthau only scored one try.
Mediocre from Toulouse who didn't impress despite the very flattering score. Houles looked on this as a pre-season warm-up but must have been panicky with the scores close and a Swinton win not out of the question until the last ten minutes when TO13 woke up. It wasn't pretty but a win's a win. They will get tonked next week at Fev if they reproduce that dross. Swinton weren't great but the difference was Barthau. Last year TO13 would have lost this game without Ford but they hung on today thanks to Barthau. Robin was MOM by a mile.
Littler wasn't happy with the Swinton collapse at the end, the heads dropped which is unusual for such a talented team.

The match was quite an even affair up to the last 10 mins at 20-14. Good fight back from Swinton who were down 16-0 at one point. The loss of George Tyson opened the gates for the late flurry of tries.
Not a clear demolition as some put it.

Super League does need a 2nd French club to create a French Super League derby and that 2nd French will probably be Toulouse

Or, to put it another way, one could argue that the French Elite Comp could need Catalans, to strengthen French RL. |
