Celebrating 25 years service to the Rugby League Community! |
| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "You seem not to have noticed that Toulouse have been playing their first three rounds without two of their top players -- star playmaking [idemi d'ouverture[/i Jonathan Ford, and former NRL [ipilier[/i Sam Rapira. When these two players are fit and on the pitch Toulouse should be almost unstoppable, at home or away.'" Barry mate. It's the same story with Catalans...they hire over the hill anzacs who are only there for the lucre and the lifestyle and Sam Rapira 2018 isn't the same bloke who ripped it up for the Warriors up to about 2010....he's the average one who was little more than average for the Giants who themselves finished in last pace in his first season and finished 8th the year after.....he started most games on the bench. Ford is little more than a "pub" player......and that's doing some pub sides a disservice!

He is a top quality player.

Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "You have probably not seen Johnathan Ford play if that is your judgment of him. He is a top quality player.'" Does he ever actually play?? he was out most of last year as well wasn't he, cost you a M8 spot according to you

Quote: ColD "Does he ever actually play?? he was out most of last year as well wasn't he, cost you a M8 spot according to you'" We will see how much Johnathan Ford plays this year. At least Toulouse have bought cover in the form of William Barthau. The team will perhaps need more the guts and skills of Samuel Rapira when it faces teams with strong packs of forwards, like Toronto, Leigh and Featherstone.

Quote: ColD "Does he ever actually play?? he was out most of last year as well wasn't he, cost you a M8 spot according to you'" Was going to say the same. Has anyone actually seen him play for Toulouse?
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Quote: SirStan " I foresee a repeat of last season for Tepid Toulouse, the top 4 beyond their reach due to abysmal away form'" I stand by last weeks prediction, it’s more of the same from Turgid Toulouse, and the final result will see them below Toronto, London, Leigh, Fev and possibly Halifax come the end of July.

Barthau was star quality yesterday, he ran the show. Problem will be when Ford comes back for the Rochdale game, what will happen to Barthau ?

Quote: sanjunien "Barthau was star quality yesterday, he ran the show. Problem will be when Ford comes back for the Rochdale game, what will happen to Barthau ?'" Will they drop Stanislaus Robin, or make him hooker?
