Toulouse have lost to London and Halifax at home in the last few week, so I can't see them beating featherstone either.
Featherstone away next week will be a tricky game but I would fully expect us to beat hull KR at the shay with Hull having one eye on the middle 8's

It is what it is. I too would like them to make the 8s but fair play to whichever teams actually do. Regardless, their presence in the championship has ensured that 5 teams continue to compete for the top four which would otherwise have been settled many weeks back.

And 5 will hopefully become 6 next season with the inclusion of Toronto. That's half the league competing for a spot in the SL, not to mention the likes of Batley and Sheffield who can spring an upset on their day.

Toulouse's chances of beating Featherstone Rovers and making the top 4 depends on Toulouse getting key injured players back, notably Jonathan Ford most of all, and Kane Bentley.

To be quite honest JEANO, I think you've blown it.

So "Terrific Toulouse" are only any good if they have a full squad to choose from? Whichever team from Fax or Toulouse make the middle 8's, they'll both likely get battered every week, but from a Fax perspective we do need the extra funding for next year or we're possibly on a very slippery downward slope.

Notably, Fax played yesterday without any Salford DR players (despite having 3 first teamers out through injury), albeit we did have Mike Sio on loan from Wakefield on the bench. 3 of the team yesterday have graduated from our reserve squad.

Yes HXsparky, Sio did well but had to come off after a nasty injury to the ribs, hopefully not long term. The other loan signing, prop Brandon Douglas from Cas had a good game too. Mitch Calahane and Shane Grady were immense and integral to the win though Ben Johnston and old man Murrell will probably grab the headlines..

Simon Grix was also outstanding.

Fantastic weekend in Toulouse. If you get the chance to go over I'd highly recommend it

Beating us? Deluded much? Tim Sheens expects top class performances going into the m8s. A dip in performance will not be tolerated. Regardless, Toulouse won't beat either team called Rovers.

If it means Fax need to win the last game of the regular season (bearing in mind Toulouse play the day before), then it should produce a cracking game at the Shay on 23rd July.

The Fax team of 2017 aren't blessed with a lot of guile or skill, but have spirit in abundance.

Thankyou for your honest response. I've heard that Sio's injury is minor and he'll be Ok for the next game. You've highlighted some of our best players, but Murrell is the guy who keeps things going for us when the going gets tough.
