Think Toulouse are a dry weather/firm pitch type of side (like us).

Well we certainly look a lot bigger in the forwards now. Could line up like below.

Thomas
Macani
Mendieka
Oakes
Ryan
Pryce
Keyes
Peltier
Moore
Margrin
Larroyer
Bentley
Roche

Walker
Murray
Oldeski
Jordan-Roberts/Kirk/Lilley/Lumb

Everyone happy with Pryce's contributions so far then? I know he's old and the heavy pitches won't be helping, but he's been a complete passenger so far this season imo.
I'd try Lilley and Keyes in the halves while they are both still at the club.

Thomas
Macani/Caro (if fit)
Mendeika/Smith
Oakes
Ryan
Keyes
Lilley
Peltier
Moore
Magrin
Roche
Larroyer
Bentley

Murray
Oledski
Kirk
Walker/Lumb (if fit)

Pryce seems to have a calming influence even if he's walking on knackered knees.

Don't underestimate Pryce's contributions on the field. Yes he hasn't be a huge influence in attack in terms of breaking down teams. But as stated he's 35. What he does bring is a lot of talk on the field. That is invaluable for the lads. Especially considering our only other leader is on a 4 game trial and has played 1 game for us.

For me he is the glue this season. Without him we have no team, no club and no hope. Because of his contributions the lads believe and rally around him.

I'd change Walker for this new Murray bloke. Murray is likely to be a lot fitter than Walker due to actually having a pre-season. Plus he'll be looking to rip in and show what he's got being his first game.

Good point.

I know walker played last week but i didn't really notice, id echo the above give the new guy a go hopefully he wants to prove a point, hopefully Peltier is included, i hope we are better suited to the mud and mess than Toulouse the weather will play a huge factor.

Out wide we struggled in defence, Ryan was class but Oakes im not sure about, same for Mendeika, but as Smith and the rest are injured or not match ready not a not we can do, need to show up well on the wings especially is Minga the winger is playing did look a handfull vs Dewsbury even if they where pants.

Our sliding defence needs to work also was slow or not all moved together, we also need to cut out the penalties that's what nearly cost us, apart from that we will be fine.

Opposing loose forwards Bentley v Bentley!

This is gonna be a proper battle and the lads need to win it to keep their confidence up.
If we win this it will send out a clear message to the other teams that we're on our way back

Likely because I don't believe he played much. Went off with a back injury I believe.

After giving 2/3 penalties away

We should beat them easily. Don't they all have little legs?

Well, it seems that the game on Sunday is ours to lose.....

I'll get me coat

I'd like to see a Murray/Walker front row......come onto the pitch to 'The Chain'.....quick warm up lap of the speedway track...."And. They're. Away..."

But I am pessimistic for the weekend. I've whined on for years about players thinking the Bulls badge does 80% of the work in getting a victory so am, unfairly, expecting the same to happen now we have a win under our belt. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it.
