100% effort from the lads today - couldn't fault them.



Agree with hkr, we're a top half team but not good enough to challenge the better sides in the league.



This season might not quite be over yet but it'd take a remarkable twist of fortune for us to go up -we'd have to play out of our skin and others would have to have off days We've got to aspire to be as good next season as Toulouse are this season.



The crowd was disappointing. I guess it was a backlash from the Barrow defeat.

Paul, I think part of the problem is the fact that until a few weeks ago, we didn't know what the fixtures were. I missed the Barrow game (probably a blessing) and I miss next week, simply because I had to make decisions when I couldn't know if we were home or away ... I'll wager I'm not alone.



I fear that a continuation of this philosophy will cost the sport many supporters.

Good point Gary .

A sad state of affairs indeed , will be there ,god willing , to cheer the boys on next Sunday .



I worry about the club in 2017 if we are in division 1 .

One worrying aspect was the poor crowd , looks like some fans have given up on the 2016 season

I think we got what was expected today a good effort from the players but totally outclassed, there is no way we are in the promotion race and next year we will be in the same boat ie replace toulouse with toronto, unless we recruit well over the winter (not going to happen) then this time next year we we be where we are now. The crowd , or lack off one, speaks volumes for our crisis. Im trying hard to find some positives , but to be honest from what Im seeing there aint none. Another year in this pathetic league does not appeal to me, (unless the structure is changed home away fixtures for all the teams) Toronto coasting to the top of the league, Someone please tell me Im wrong. Felt for the players today, Outclassed .

Entertaining game with Toulouse showing too much quality in the end. Donny were superb and better than the 20 points difference. A lot of effort which matched the French for much of the game.

Disappointing crowd must have enjoyed the performance despite the los, it's no disgrace being beaten by a better team on the day.

The ref didn't help with some inconsistency in the first quarter but he let it flow eventually to allow both sides to play some nice stuff.

Loads for GT and the lads to work on and all is definitely not lost so get behind the team for the next game.



More importantly, re the fish & chips - Whitby's was the first one of the list I found and I have to say the F & C were absolutely sublime............Britain will remain 'Great' as long as the fish & chips are as good as that !!

Good fish and chips & out of the EU what more can you ask for.

I would ask for a club we can be proud of and a team that can compete,, and a battered sausage,???

Any news on Liam Welham , hope his injury isn't season ending.



I think Brad England was running down the touchline on the west stand side before the game .

Mike Kelly has been at the last few games , is he near to full fitness ?

Precisely, and next time i'm going to ask for a Sheffield Rissole and some curry sauce.

Gary Thornton believes the winning margin flattered Toulouse and takes the positives from the defeat:

I cannot fault the attitude or commitment of the players yesterday, and I am confident there are members of our squad who will prove to be good players given time, however it is worrying that we are not competitive enough to gain promotion this season, after last season the club spoke of their determination get back to the championship which appears not to be the case. If we were owned and managed by others with less resource I would accept it and support the club with the same passion as in the days when we were propping up the leagues, but under the stewardship of our current owners I expect more.
