Toulouse storming it. Groundsman'll be busy: extra fork work to drain away all Jon Wilkin's tears.

After being behind 6-16 at half time, Toulouse have come out and fired in the second half.

Toulouse 32 Toronto 16

Toulouse scores another try, making the try tally six to Toronto's three..

Toulouse 40 Toronto 16.

Mark Kheirallah scores another try and conversion.

Toulouse 46 Toronto 16. Full time.

Crowd 6103. Salford and Wakefield don't get close to that.

Toulouse would be a smashing success in Super League.

Guess you did not go to the game today bazz judging by your late updates of the score, unless the wifi is crap in Toulouse
Wakefield v Hull KR att. 6874. It won't keep us in SL we'll have to rely on the quality of our football to rely on that, you might bare that in mind before embarrassing yourself again, it's the football that counts not the attendance.

Neither do Toulouse's usual home games, anyway great win by them....I am pleased !!

Cracking result for Toulouse and a huge dent in Toronto's "procession to Super League".
Well done and a victory for a proper RL club. They even have French players in their side.

No English players ....blimey ?

Ah this is where you're hiding. Come over to the Catalans-Salford thread and take your punishment like a man....

Understandable they're all playing in the NRL

Exactly. 99% of super league teams don’t have the right standard of international players bar saints and Warrington.

Perhaps I should ask when Toronto will be in a position to field ANY "local" players ??
Batley have "produced" players that have gone on to play SL, indeed, there are some still playing

It is highly unlikely that with the way Toronto have been formed and planted like a tree in a desert, that they will be in a position to develop any of their own players.
They certainly missed an opportunity in League 1, where they could have played some rookies as they were smashing every side in their path but, that boat has now sailed and assuming that they gain promotion, which should be a formality with their huge spend on overseas players, this will make having any home grown talent even less likley.

Some people see the likes of Tronoto as a blueprint for the future of the game but, the reality is that they are UTTERLY reliant on other clubs doing the hard yards for them, without being in a position to put ANY players back into the game.

Some would dismantle half of SL and wish for clubs in New York, Paris, Toronto, Denver etc without them having any organic roots which, far from expanding the game, I personally believe that it could completely destroy it.

Having said that, Toronto have shown the way as regards marketing and promoting the game and "we" could desperately do with people of that calibre market the game and they (Toronto) have generated some exposure, which is desperately needed but, really, what is the plan long term, assuming that there actually is a plan ?
