Would be a major upset to get anything out of this. Walker, Thompson and Matongo definitely out injured. Not sure when Scurr's ban is over, he got 8 matches after the Widnes game but not sure if the friendlies against Dewsbury, Leeds and Workington will count toward it. Either way he's still out.

Would be hoping to see us give a good defensive display and try not to let the score blow out. If we can sort out the discipline, line speed and errors we ought to be able to avoid embarrassment hopefully.

I think Scurr has 2 or 3 games remaining. If we are counting the friendlies he could be back this week. I'm not sure whether the friendly games count towards his ban though.

Massive challenge on Saturday. Early forecast says sleet and rain for the game. Could be a grim afternoon.

Don't think it's quite the Toulouse of two years ago with Ford, Kheirallah running the show. Despite this then and Fev and still head and shoulders above everyone. Still want to see us have a dig. Think too many teams turn up against both and just turn over.

from memory your allowed to count only one friendly against a ban. So could be back for game after featherstone.

Given it's a stupid kick off time I'd have been tempted to give this one a miss as Saturday dinner time is really inconvenient... if I hadn't had to miss Widnes and another miss would leave me already close to losing money on my season ticket.

Can see nothing but capitulation in this match if we don't have Lawrence or Thompson on the park to keep order.

Flanagan will sort them out with his mature attitude.

Hopefully Lawrence will be back from his knee injury/illness whatever it is. Would bring in Jones or Foster for Matongo.

I think with Toulouse and Featherstone its a shock and awe thing for Championship clubs. They give it to you until you capitulate and they can run them in at will. I don't think we can beat them, but we can keep them honest and make them genuinely graft.

Hope so. The kick off time is bloody awful so I doubt I'll be there this week anyway.

Stupid considering it clashes with the local grassroots games. I’ll be playing rather than attending.

The kick of time is to help Toulouse get back to France. There are less direct flights than there were last season so it to allow them to get home as easily as possible.

Surprised the club agreed to it, I'll be amazed if it doesn't have a negative impact on the attendance.

Oh I understand why they’ve done it. But it’s still stupid. Two of the local sides are at home (Dudley Hill and Wibsey). Wyke are in Leeds. So that’s at least 3 sides who won’t be watching the Bulls plus families etc.

All of their away games are Saturdays. Its not like its just us thats agreed to play them on a Saturday for their benefit.
